Damn, that sucks. I guess only the pivots on each side support the tailgate on yours too? I don't know about the Tacoma extended cab but my Frontier extended cab comes with a (sort of) long bed. It is longer than the crew cab bed anyway. The rear tire of my bike is able to sit on the bed, the back of the tire just sticks out too far when in straight to close the tailgate.
