    Has anyone customized your tailgate to swing open and not drop?

    Not a fan of swing out tailgate. Had a Honda CRV, always seemed to swing the wrong way.just my two cents.

    I wonder if someone could build a double swing then? Makes the distance you need behind the vehicle smaller...

    You would lose the opening width of the bed by the thickness of the the tailgate,why? I wish they did not stamp Toyota on the tailgate so there would be a bigger area for some (painted) graphics.

    I like mine because it holds my tire and has a fold down table. My 35's won't fit under the bed anymore.

    Honestly though, I'd rather have a fold down normal tailgate if it had no other purpose.

    Reach is the main reason.

    I have a cover and will be building a draw system that starts at the wheel wells and goes to the back of the bed.
