We have owned an FJ from the 1st day of deliveries. To open the rear takes up 1/3 the parking space behind you, to get the kids out the clamshell doors takes 1/3 of a spot on the side.. obviously wouldn't have kept if we didn't love it, but sure does have some quirks!Now that I think about it, I really did like how the gate swung open on the FJ. My only delight in a tailgate that drops down is the ability to set things on it like a gas stove, gear, food, my ass, etc.
Also if the tailgate opened up to the drivers side you would have concern about traffic hitting the tire and door. Think about some dummy and their mirror going right across it when you're curb parked.
