On the 1500s that tailgate is standard in the higher trim levels.

And It looks to me like it has a very fatal flaw. Good idea. Poor execution.

If you have something hitched, you will probably just step on the tongue to enter, and the tailgate will just open as a tailgate. I find the corner steps best anyway. Easy when the goose neck is connected, where I would not be able to use the step.

Its not about having something hitched. We all have drop hitches attached there regardless of towing or not.

Agree, this looks like a horrible idea. How many are going to bash their fancy new tailgate in when they drop it down on the hitch

I wouldn't say we all drive around with our hitches in, the only time mine is in is when I'm towing.

Not sure I'm a fan of the tailgate though, seems kind of unnecessary with the bumper step.

Also I believe it can open like a traditional tailgate without the last step dropping down.

Sorry if your an anomaly. Next time your on the freeway count the number of trucks running drop hitches while not towing. Its more the norm.
