So how is everyone hauling bikes and ATV's in their beds doing with their tailgates these days? Anyone else popping or cracking welds?

I took the family out this weekend, picked up an 11' Christmas tree and drove it home 18 miles on the freeway with the tailgate down. After hearing some of the horror stories of Tundra tailgates bouncing off while traveling with them down, I placed a cargo strap around it and cinched it to the trailer hitch just to be on the safe side.

The guy who helped me load the tree looked at me like I was crazy. I don't blame him, it's kind of rediculous to have to use a workaround in order to feel safe about using the truck the way you ought to be able to use it.
