New Truck, Soon new NL . How to prep the truck

I sometimes use my original gate, but I often use one of those louvered tailgates with the dropped down middle section they sell for 5th wheel haulers.
It’s a lot lighter and easier to put on and take off for the camper, plus it’s easy to reach over or step over from the truck bumper so I usually don’t even need to open it. It’s also way less stress about scratching it while taking off or putting on. I kinda’ like it. You might check that option out.
