Best Tailgate replacement option for 2019 tacoma

Just curious, was the camera cable cut?

 

This should be a "comprehensive" coverage claim that shouldn't impact rates.

 

Check with your agent. My insurance has one "forgiveness" event for minor damage like this. Doesn't affect my rate.

 

Shouldn't for comprehensive claim.

 

Wasn't there a post a few days ago about a pest control company selling tailgates that they removed?

 

Best tail gate replacement....

 

To be honest- for years I've seen this same tailgate dent 'design' and wondered how in the hell do you manage to drop a huge sledge hammer into the bed and miss? (yupp thats how misfired my brain was) until I said DUH it was down and backed into: 'insert something here'

 

Wilco makes a tailgate with tire holder. Not cheap tho. https://www.wilcooffroad.com/shop/tiregate-prerunner-toyota-2/

 

You should be able to search and located a tailgate from an auto recycle/dismantler. Hardest part will be trying to find the color to match.

 

Does it still close OK? If so then if you really dont want to "pay much" for it, just leave it as is. You can do things the right way, or the cheap way. Pick one...

 

No, the camera cable was intact.
