No need to remove it if you can latch it folded forward of the hitch. The resulting cave is great for keeping things from blowing out while traveling.
Anything between the hitch and the tail gate better be heavy enough to ignore the vacuum created in that area. It even lifts the nose of my 35 gal tote, and took away a fairly heavy rug. I now put the tote in the aforementioned cave or tie it down if other things are already there.
We learned this the hard way with a couple of very heavy plywood cornhole boards (pre-bed cover) on I-80 in WY... those things went flying all over. Thankfully didn't damage anything or fall out.
