I am just a bit disapointed that it bent the gate. My chevys have been way further overloaded in the same way on the same road and dont show any problems. One of the uses of my truck is to have a very heavy pump on the gate while the bed is loaded with material. I hope this is not a sign of things to come again.

PS. I told my family I was gonna burn one of the offending vehicles and it was not gonna be the tundra. I have some kids who won't talk to dad for a few days.
Boy that is some seriously soft looking metal for a tail gate, hate to say it but I have done much more to my 04 ford tail gate with no problems??
