Cord rubbing on tailgate
Aside from mounting a receptacle in the box of the truck, how can you keep the cord from rubbing on the tailgate of the truck?

My connector plug is installed inside the truck bed, flush mount, about 12" inside, I will admit, I have to drop the tailgate to plug or unplug it, but I have to drop the tailgate to hook up and unhook, so tailgate is down when I connect or disconnect ( I don't need a 5er tailgate and I leave my tailgate on the truck due to camera in the tailgate). Took about 30 mins to install and about $15. Actually saw a guy who had one draped over his tailgate smash the cable backing into a steep driveway, when he got to top is when 5er leveled and truck was still going up...truck tailgate made contact with 5er and smashed the cable...I know that's extreme, but for no more than it cost and for the convenience, I'd go with plug inside the bed. It's protected and all you have to do is raise and lower the tailgate, really not that big of a deal.
