Has anyone else noticed how delicate the tailgate is? It dents and crinkles at the slightest touch.

Have you told the beer industry about your observation? They might want to learn about this too

Are you talking about the inside or the outside of the tailgate?

Why does it seem like every time i turn around, I'm reading nothing but negative posts on this truck?

Is the bloom coming off the rose or what here?

These are Jeeps. And new model Jeeps. What's different this time appears to be the owners, many of whom are new to Jeeps (and some to new vehicle ownership).

Backed mine into a mailbox and couldn't believe how much damage it did. Had to replace it.

I backed my SxS into mine at a pretty slow speed and it dented right on that seam that runs across the tailgate. Dentless repair popped it out and you cant even tell it was there.

They did a nice job on that PDR. I had heard that its harder with aluminum for some reason. My shop went right to replacement. I suspect because that deep dent right across the seam would have been tough to pop out. This was back in November before parts were readily available. It took about a month and a half to get the tailgate in. Only complain I have is that the bedliner on the tailgate is a little thinner and shinier than the rest of the ned. However they put the two already lined panels on it so it's not that noticeable.

Mine was delivered to the dealership with two small dents on the tailgate. Didn’t see any sense in making a stink over it since I figure I’ll be putting a few on myself.
