    Only from 1st gen folks who have rust and dent free beds.

    Which will only be on garaged grocery queens or bed liners with toppers.

    Since few want to admit their truck isn't used as a truck, the number may be very low. :D

    Well, there could be a few from the 3rd gen team who think their truck came with a bed liner, not that it's the same as the 2nd gen.

    OP, sorry for the mishap. While not having that particular one, I've had a few of my own. A couple of them backing as well.

    I don't get it. So you were towing a trailer but the hitch ball was too small, so it popped off under braking and crashed into the tailgate?
    I sure hope what U-Haul sold me as recommended/fitting the vehicle is the right part.
    Towed a trailer many miles without issue,
    but will check to make sure.
    Thanks for the heads up

    Leave it just like it is, gives it character and it's a Toyota.
    I got a big scratch and dent in one of my doors from a rock in Moab and love it.
    Besides, chicks dig body damage.
    Good luck with your truck.

    I was loading a excavator on a 1 ton ford with a 14,000 pound rated trailer. Someone else had used the truck over the weekend and left the 2" ball on it, and backed it up to the big trailer that takes 2 5/16th inch ball. I just backed up, hooked it up, pulled it out and went to load the mini-ex on it. When I crossed the ramps onto the trailer proper, it shoved the trailer butt down, and the tongue came up and damaged the tailgate, then I flipped out, and thought the best idea was to back off onto the ramps. Well that dropped the tongue back down into the tailgate. It was very embarrassing. I am a very do it right kinda person. I just assumed that no one would leave it like that. I should of checked instead of assumed.

    I’d have the cab repaired. If the paint is damaged enough it could cause rust
