I have also have a FOB on an Indian Chieftain, with push button start. Didn't think about mentioning that until I read 4X4ord's comments. I never had the FOB with me when I needed it. Spent half a day trying to find it on another. Finally I just hide the FOB on the bike, easy to steal if I don't grab the FOB off of it, but better than trying to keep track of the FOB.
As for Tailgate...gate, the simplest ideas tend to most of the time being the best. The step in the bumper was an outstanding idea, use it all the time. I bought a Ranch Hand rear bumper for my '18 and while researching that, many aftermarket rear bumpers are now putting a step in them. It always works, very little money involved making it happen. The downside is if your not as nimble, have some kind of injuries than the step bumper may not be as useful. Maybe the tailgate was an effort to be easier to use for more people. I hope that by the time the 2020 HD's are released they make it an option. I don't believe a tail gate like that should be standard equipment on a work pickup. When I am 75 yoa and cant lift my leg up to a bumper step then maybe I would check that box or I would start doing Yoga.
