Took it to the dealer and they told him it was an "accessory" and was never intended to hold heavy items such as he put on it or driving an ATV into the bed of the truck.

I'm not buying that one. Toyota's aware of the problem and they're covered and being replaced under warranty. Besides the guys who've had theirs warrantied, my selling dealer's service manager told me personally mine was covered if it cracked due to ATV loading, etc. He DID mention abuse, like dropping a 1200 lb. round bale on it, like any brand, you're on your own on a deal like that. Secondly, it's not even a 2006 year problem, they never made a 1/2 ton then. However there was a warranty TSB on Tacoma tailgates but that was for a different problem than the current Tundras.
NCfarmboy, I was watching the Detroit auto show on TV last night, and to add to your confusion, they said the new F-150s have been totally re-designed and they spoke highly of it.
