While Tundra-bashing seems to be a sport here at FTE, what about the new Silverado/Sierra? That tailgate has no steel closeout at all on top, only a plastic cap. Also, I cut my finger on the unfinished, jagged steel on the underside. They may be pretty, but workmanship is slipping back to the 1980's. The '73-'87 GMs were quick-rusting rattle traps, while my '93 was perfect, body-wise.

Time to go play the lottery!
