That said, I feel that even if there is no damage showing at present that Toyota should replace all tailgates with improved / stronger gates. Some of us have not loaded tailgates yet but plan to in the future. I have always used the tailgate for loading mowers, etc.
To suggest removing the tailgate from a truck so it can be used as a truck is absurd to say the least.
