    All I can say it is heavy enough not sure how much but it is heavy that is probably one of the reason why they have the tailgate helpers or cylinders to help lower the tailgate but still she is heavy to close.

    Also keep in mind how much size and weight would be added to properly package this to protect it,,,, if you wanted it scratch and dent free upon arrival.

    I would use 100 pounds as a shipping weight estimate. That should more than cover you.

    I had a 5th generation 4Runner lift gate shipped from AZ to OH, 200 bucks LTL, and I can guarantee that lift gate is heavier than the Tacoma tailgate FWIW.
