The tailgate issue was mentioned a year ago same as your favorite magazine C/R. You also failed to mention the 4x2 was rated above your Ford. Fancy that. Keep digging Bob you might even find out exactly where your truck is made.... Bob you’re a late reader. The tailgate issue was mentioned a year ago same as your favorite magazine C/R.

I don't buy it. The trucks are built in about the same amount of time, and quality is excellent for both. The UAW boss shouldn't try and use questionable "stats" to prove that the UAW is better...he should be figuring out ways to make certain the domestic auto manufacturers stay in business without help from the taxpayers.

The same study used against American auto companies for years. Tundra 4x4 criticized by Consumer Reports; rated "below average" in projected reliability The first involves the Tundra's transmission, with at least ten owners at TundraSolutions.com reporting that their trannies experience rough shifts that make the truck feel like it's riding over rumble strips. The 'rumble strip' transmission issue has been acknowledged by Toyota North America and traced back to the torque converter not disengaging properly. The second quality issue sprouted up this past weekend, also on TundraSolutions.com, and involves tailgates that have been failing or, in some cases, even falling off. The most common experience seems to be the tailgate itself forming cracks and the metal buckling when under load. One owner reported that his tailgate failed when loading an ATV into the bed for the very first time. The tailgate being such an integral part of owning a truck, members of TS have begun an online petition, which they hope will force Toyota to recognize the issue and do something about it http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/22/toyota-tundra-hit-with-two-more-quality-issues/ I'll keep my Ford 135000 mile no problems and the tailgate is still there.

Built with a leaky front window that that allows water to fry the electronics; an engine that blows spark plugs; and, a leaky rear window, I can now understand why they have the problems. They build them so quick they don't bother with proper quality control. Remember, Ford no longer advertises, "Quality is #1".
