Tailgate cable

I just noticed that the driver side tailgate cable on my Limited feels fairly loose when the tailgate is down. Anybody experiencing the same thing?
The tailgate opens and closes fine and there seems to be no interference.

Thanks

 

Is your tailgate bent or tweaked at all? If it's not square that could explain it.

 

Tailgate is square. After some quick measurements it appears the driver side cable is about 1/2" longer than the passenger side. I guess I'll take a trip to the dealer...

 

Ah, yeah. I'd get it swapped. It's square now but if it takes weight with different length cables I could see it not staying that way!

 

Just went and checked mine and have the same thing, longer on the drivers side

 

New Platinum and one of the first things I noticed was that driver’s side cable was longer.

 

Ditto

 

I wonder if its on purpose... After seeing this I checked the 2018. Got the same thing goin on.

 

Every truck I've owned has been the same. Have a quick seat on the tailgate and they both will become tight. No reason for replacement.

 

My 2015 Tacoma was not like this. Seating or steeping on the tailgate has little effect on how slack the driver side cable is.
Is the Tundra's dampened tailgate perhaps the reason?

 

Cablegate!
