Even with the 5W gate you need to drop it hooking or dropping the 5W. If you don't you will have a V shaped tailgate. That cutout is not deep enough to leave it up and drive out. This was a standard gate but the louvered 5W will do the same thing.

I never needed to drop mine to get away from the 5er, the "V" just needs to be deep enough.
While they are nice, besides the rear backup camera, we have a rollup bed cover, and with the 5er TG the back was always wet, with the standard TG bed is dry and can be used as a trunk.
