Tailgate update for 5th wheel tow vehicles
It would be great to hear from those that would have experience with the tail gait that has been cut down the centre to a "V" for 5th wheel towing. I guess the question is, is this really a big advant...

Not exactly a 5th wheel, but I had issues when hooking & unhooking my gooseneck trailer.
I had to back up to the GN, then lower the tailgate. Then back up enough to close the tailgate. Otherwise it would hit the lower front of the trailer!
Then I had to continue to back up until the GN ball was centered underneath the GN hitch. If I was off a little I had to wiggle the truck back & forth with the GN hitch post inside the bed. Not a fun thing to do.
