    Also, I was never one to sit at the dinner table and listen to some douche nozzle spout off without telling him to eat a bag of dicks. :D

    We have a rule at our house, no shit talking at the table. But in the truck? Different story…and it’s never unwarranted…and mostly about B shift :rofl:

    I couldn't care less about 45* tailgate function, but the drawer option might be kinda neat.


    What I'd really like to see is a tailgate that isn't 4 inches thick across the top like all the newer trucks. Return to skinny tailgates like the 1st/2nd gens.

    Sincerely,
    Mountain bikers w/ tailgate pads

    I’m retired but shit talking at the table was perfectly acceptable but fart at the table and you’d probably be wearing some food.
    Everywhere across the country it’s always B shift…

    Tacoma tailgates work how they are intended. Opens and closes perfectly fine.

    I feel like if you’re able to reach into your pocket and click the unlock button, it’s probably even easier to reach over and flip the tailgate handle to open it. Your logic seems skewed.

    The auto tilt bed feature the Colorados have is a good innovation.

    With the amount of aftermarket stuff for the Tacoma, (which by the way is the most I have ever seen before) I am very surprised no one has made aftermarket tailgate accessories that gives it a multi-function use similar to all the other gimmicky stuff on other tailgates. My buddy had a GMC with the folding tailgate that does all sorts of stuff. He had to replace it and it was like $1200 and another $200 to get it painted to match.

    Damnit man, I feel slighted by Toyota. I actually would love a dump truck bed though. Would make unloading mulch and dirt much easier.

    LOL....I was going to say that. I've always hated that rear end. It's not even a 12 beers at 3AM at the club "good" look.
