    I don't have a use for a tailgate that can open in 20 different configurations. Most of the stuff goes on the back seat anyway. :notsure:

    Toyota knows that their primary customer base doesn’t give a rats ass about a fancy tailgate and cares more about off road performance just as we have for the past 70+ years. Why fix what ain’t broken? Toyota still sells millions of units despite “being so behind” and being so “SAD” maybe sell your truck and buy a Chevy if you want fancy shit. If you want a truck that’ll last and not be ripe with recalls, keep your basic “SAD” Toyota Tacoma.

    Toyota knows their Taco customers, and those customers for the most part mod the fuck out of their trucks. Is your truck bone stock? Mine sure the hell isn't. I couldn't fucking believe the amount of aftermarket for this truck... unreal. How many of you fuckers changed the panel on the inside of the tailgate or do some DIY shit to it??

    Pretty sure I've never seen any of those fancy over engineered tailgates being used other than basic opening and closing. And I know I've never seen a fat assed farmer in my area use the built-in retractable step in his F250 TG to climb up in his bed. Just more shit to raise prices because people think they actually need it.

    Maybe you should have gotten the Chevy Colorado in the first place. Or maybe even the Honda Ridgeline.
