Tundra tailgate 150 lb max? If that were for real, then even I couldn't bounce walk or bounce around on it. It's probably around 350 lbs or whatever all the other manufacturers are rating their tailgates, but someone forgot a few load calculations to determine where to put the reinforcements or extra welds. Oh wait, Japanese culture is to design and then reinforce, not redesign because it insults the designer. Expect their tailgate to be 25-50 lbs heavier for the same weight rating in the next few years, if they ever fix the problem.

As for our tailgate, I don't remember the weight rating, but it handles riding mowers, motorcycles, and 4-wheelers without problems, at least from what I see in the plant parking lot and from what I hear from people at work.
