    In what year did Toyota redesign the tailgate to make it stronger?

    It was redesigned in 2007 so the 2008's got the new one. My 07 got a new tailgate from Toyota after I 'tacoed' it loading a bike.
    The TSB covered 05 - 07 years.
    BTW the only 'reinforcement' I could find on my new tailgate is a 12x6in plate of 1/16th sheet metal glued in the center of the skin.
