I like innovation...gadgets and tools like this is what sells trucks.

The other day we bought a Chrysler Town and Country.....what am I playing with when we go through the final walk through before we drive off? The built in rechargeable led flashlight...

I personally love the split tailgate design.

Honda has had the swinging tailgate for years in the Ridgeline. Well it could swing open or lower like a regular tailgate. Not many paid attention to it because it was considered a sub truck....being unibody.

Thanks!

That's just it as someone mentioned it is a Soccer Mom feature for those who don't want to reach over the tailgate. For the Ridgeline light duty market the feature may catch on

I use my truck for work and the tail gate makes a great work bench. I would never want it to swing.
My fear is that the design brings unnecessary complexity but the Soccer Mom's of the world may actually like the new design.
