Anyone have other ideas about seeking assistance from Toyota about the issue?
This is my 2nd Toyota and always thought I would be a Toyota lifer but this is making me think again about buying another Toyota vehicle.

Hi tchfall15,
You can take your truck to a reliable body shop and have that tailgate fixed, and... the undercarriage under-coated
"Professionally!" But as far as that happening; it's NOT just your truck, it's the 5'th Gen 4Runners in general!
Watch this video
"By Master Toyota Dealership Service Technician", and see that it's a very common problem; especially where you live,
in the salt-belt Chicago IL USA! Even my Limited Runner is subject to Rusting Brakes, screws and typical bolts underneath the truck, here in NJ!
