Weightless tailgates have bothered me for years.

Looks like the bed was down, they backed into something, and now holding the bed closed for their load of wood with a strap.

Strap is on the plastic part of the bumper.
**** driver, everyone else blames the bed

Then wonder why the country is backwards.

I believe my response is found somewhere between &
with a dash of thrown in for good measure..!

As bad as I don't know about the aluminum body thing, I can't blame it on that. I've seen plenty steel tailgates bent because of being down and backed into something. But I do notice the tailgate is split

Maybe the tailgate was hit when it was down and won’t close on either side properly
They probably don’t want to claim it on insurance and ridk a rate increase

That’s a 09-14 steel truck….

I agree with you.. hell I weigh 700 lbs and I can’t even bend an aluminum can when I jump on it.. but in the other hand when I tried climbing on my buddies SILVERADO TRUCK.. I bent the whole side in and busted his tire too.. and it was a STEEL BED.. **** anything made of steel.. ALUMINUM FOUND ON ROAD DEAD is the way of the future..
