Good thing Ford TC haulers don’t use the tailgates ...

The link doesn't open for me.
I did not use my tailgate much on my 2017 model, but from what I remember it has mechanical latches that hold the tailgate up and electrical latch lock for security.
Meaning even electrical malfunction will release the lock, the latches will still hold the tailgate up.
The lock assemble has whole harness going to it, what operates camera and light as well.
