Towing with a pickup vs suburban

Those of you that have a pickup does the tailgate go down with the
RV on the hitch or will it hit the hitch if you lower it all the
way. I use a suburban now but looking at a chevy pickup high country.
The suburban's rear tail gate lifts up and out of the way so I can
get to the gear and tools in the back but will the pickup allow me
to do this, I thinking not but where do you store your equalizer bars,sway bar, and other hitch parts? I have observed most everyone is using pickups now I'm probably the last one of the old timers that
use a suburban. I found a beautiful High Country pickup 2014 with very low miles and have been considering it to replace the suburban, it has a much higher weight rating for one thing which is a good reason alone to go with the pickup but it looks like it would be difficult to store the hitch parts when the tailgate is down so I would be reaching up and over the tailgate all the time. Where do you store the hitch parts if not in the back of the pick up?
