Hey. I have an 08 Tundra crewmax. I seem to have an exhaust problem ever since it hit 6 or 8000 kms. It is almost sounds like a fluttering in the exhaust below the drivers seat when accelerating. It is extremely annoying to say the least. I have taken it to 2 dealerships and they both tell me it’s normal , I don’t believe it. Does anyone else have this problem or have heard of it. I need a fix , quick!! Thanks

I was loading a GolfCart on to my Tundra 07 Model Using Tri-fold ramps to load. An when I looked there was a huge dent outer skin pulled away . The weld dose not go completely up the side of the tailgate . My truck is a Paper Tiger all the power that it needs but easy to wound as far as outer skin goes .nice looks but disapointing . I also believe it is a safety issue .

I have a 2000 Tundra, and recently started using it to haul my motorcycle and atv, and it is starting to split like crazy at the seems. So maybe they never put any effort into making tailgates strong in any of the Tundra’s. I think they just use really cheap metal in the bodies.

Has anyone had any problems with the 2007 Tundra Tinted Windows?

Not sure Lane but I don’t think any tailgate will support a pallet of hardwood. Why would you overload your truck and place a pallet on the tailgate?

Broke two tailgates already. The second I found on craigslist and bent it when I put a pallet of hardwood in it. I really like my toyota. This is my third one. I expect toyota to fix this problem. The strenth of the tailgate is a joke. Bug toyota any you can.

Jessica – That sucks. It’s a bad design and Toyota should fix your tailgate free of charge. Did you mention the memo?

I have a 2007 Toyota Tundra. I was loading my atv and tailgate bent in center to a point. My 2006 Toyota Tundra, which I traded in for the 2007, hauled my atv many many times and this never happened. Toyota needs to take care of the customers and fix this problem. I have priced 2007 tailgates and they are over $800.

James I did and all I got was headliner issues and cpu issues. How many GM cables snap on their tailgates? How about the ball joints and for me tail lights falling off my 06 Chevy. Well to which his own James. I expected alot better discussions from the great domestic crowd. I use my tailgate with ramps for my riding mower to change blades. Haven’t had the issue they speak above. Hopefully you’re a bright guy and you don’t want me to mention the TSB’s and recalls your domestics have or the bail out they got. Toyota passed GM in sales……..GET OVER IT.
