I've heard that the new flip tailgate is proving more popular than Toyota expected and they're selling like hotcakes. The three reasons given were that it looks better, better visibility (without the spare type blocking the back window) and easy access through the flippy glass bit.
I'm not sold on the better looks, the better access through the glass flippy bit is debatable when you still have to swing open the main door. Cant argue with better visibility through the rear window but has that been much of an issue?
I would have thought the glass flippy bit would have been useful only if the bottom half flipped down like the Landcruiser but the biggest whammy would be the loss of the long range tank, 87 liters is not small but it's not 150L.
