Consumer Description

WE PURCHASED 2 NEW TOYOTA TACOMA PICK-UPS FOR OUR MOTORCYCLE DEALERSHIP. WE HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 8 YEARS, AND OWNED FORD, CHEVY, AND NISSAN AS OUR DELIVERY TRUCKS. THE TAILGATES ON THESE TRUCKS HAVE NEVER BENT UNTIL WE BOUGHT THESE 2 TOYOTAS. BOTH NEW TRUCKS HAVE BENT TAIL GATES, DUE TO POOR CONSTRUCTION. THERE ARE NO WARNING SIGNS ON THE TAILGATE NOR IN THE OWNERS MANUAL, BUT SOUTHEAST TOYOTA REFUSES TO WARRANTY THESE ITEMS. *NM
