I have to wonder what kind of testing Toyota does with their trucks. They seem under-tested for American use. Check out the FJ Cruiser forums with the cracked/bulging front fender problem, which is on its third redesign, and still not fixed. The FJ's also blow out rear axles at a far too high frequency. Sometimes I think Toyota regards us as all a bunch of posers. A lot of Americans, though, really "use" their trucks as a truck, and our 4x4's as 4x4's, and expect truck durability.

Is that right, a 200 pound tailgate weight rating? That's pathetic. This is not a vehicle for a tailgate party. Does the new redesigned tailgate have a higher rating?
