I have been driving as it is and it only has 9800 miles on it. I believe Toyota should honor the problem and replace the tailgate. This is my third Toyota vehicle. I love Toyota products but the Truck tailgate is flawed.

I put 21 sheets of OSB in the bed and the tailgate seams seperated. I spoke to the dealership (Pinehurst North Carolina) and they keep blowing me off. I asked them to have the Toyota rep call me so I can get this replaced and I get no answers. I asked them if they had any other customers with the same problem I had on my tailgate and they assured me they did not. So I went to their body shop and the first thing the manager said was oh! we have another one. I have got no answers yet to this day on how they are going to rectify this problem. I have a Dodge and I can put a whole bundle of OSB in the bed without any problems. I will say this truck can tow very well but it isn't worth a crap if I can't put anything in the bed without the tailgate bending. I bought a Toyota Tundra and had 1500 miles on it.

When I test drove one at Bass Pro in Olathe, Kansas they had a huge ATV in the back to prove acceleration and stopping power of the truck. They didn't say anything about not being able to use the tailgate to load. What gives, I thought this truck was supposed to be a tough working truck, not a Yuppie truck. I hope Toyota fixes this or mine is going to be gone and I'll get another F150. I bought this truck specificly to haul riding mower and ATV.
