I disagree completely with the "let's wait and see what Toyota does" attitude of some of the riders. LOL. I guarantee you that if I had a tailgate problem I would want it fixed RIGHT NOW!

So please keep your thread going and writers, please stay on topic. We might need this one day!

BTW metric, unfortunately, many people most certainly do judge your intelligence and education by the words you use, both written and spoken. Just my 2 sense.LOL

Thanks for your support in seeing the potential value of a thread like this, but hey what you going to do.

People are fine, so long as we don’t get into the name-calling and insults. I learned long ago not everyone will agree with me, or my approach to things, and that’s fine too.

That said I feel certain there are other FACTS out there that we can be capturing and recording in this thread dealing with the Tundra Tailgate Failures.

If you are having a tailgate problem, and you have some written correspondence with Toyota that is related to this topic, please post it here.

What Toyota says, may not be true, but it is a FACT that Toyota has said it.

Please document it here.

Toyota knows this too. That is why you don’t see a lot of written commitments on this topic from Toyota.

In truth, Toyota could manage this problem a lot better with a Simple Press Release. Something along the lines of:

"We recognize there have been failures with some Toyota Tundra Tailgates. Toyota commits to identifying the root cause of these design failures and fixing every Tundra Tailgate”

I would then shut up and give them the time to redesign the tailgate so that it doesn’t break or fall off. Until then I am not going anywhere.

But that’s just me.

Until I hear something “Official” from Toyota in that regard, I am busy collecting “FACTS”, hopefully directly from Toyota.
