I don't believe that an ATV or Golf cart is considered luggage. However page 463-465 never mentions how much weight a tailgate can hold. It only tells you how to compute the max. weight allowed in the truck bed after subtracting out the weight of the passengers. I am not slamming the Tundra just stating the facts. Toyota makes a great product I just feel that at least two of us have a tailgate that was not assembled the proper way. All brands have problems!!

I for one am in no position to judge you or your situation.
However, as hard as I might try I cannot just let the comment about my being a principal and the general comment about educators go unanswered.
For one, I am proud to be an educator and am offended at your comment "Typical educator does not believe anything."
I would not say something such as this when trying to "make friends" and learn about a community such as this as it IMHO doesn't make a good first impression.
However, I am sorry about your misfortune with your tailgate and I am confident that Toyota will stand behind their product and make it right with you.

As far as you - we'll call my remarks "out of line" and that they wash with your's about educators. So... can we call it EVEN?

Now - with that said, Welcome to the site. Despite a rough beginning, you will find this to be a useful site full of information and fun. I will look forward to reading about the epilogue with your tailgate issue - so be sure to keep us posted
