If the issue does not affect you. Then shut up and use your truck as you intend to. If something goes wrong you get it fixed. Thats why you pay for warranty and insurance.
You guys make it seem like all of the 07-08 Tundras have this issue.

huh?! All these trucks are made the same. Just because you haven't had this issue yet, doesn't mean you won't at some point in the future as a result of a poor design. I haven't had any problems with the structural integrity of my tail gate yet, but I do plan on loading an atv in it in the near future (usage that ANY truck should be able to handle with out having to "fix" it or take it up with your insurance or warranty).
I've owned 4 trucks over 20 years & have NEVER had any problem what-so-ever with the tail gate integrity. Toyota has spent hundreds of millions touting this truck as the end all of half tons and I agree that in most ways it IS. In fact, it truly is an amazing vehicle. But, the tail gate is a major component of any truck that is used for anything other than a showpiece.
Seems separating after a few or even 1 use or the whole thing falling off are absolutely unacceptable.
I love my Tundra, but this issue needs a committed & productive response from Toyota. I can do without the gas strut, I just need it to be tough & trustworthy.
