Have you noticed how heavy the tailgate is on our truck?
I find if I leave the tail gate down, I really need two crawl over speed bumps, all that mass causes it to bang when you go over them with any velocity, it can not do the internal parts any good. Mabe it could use a locking strut or shock.
I normaly keep the gate closed but I have encountered the problem when hauling something long and light as well, at first I thought it was the load it self, but it is the tailgate bouncing.
