Well last week I dropped my fifth wheel on the tailgate. I consider myself luck to not have damaged the bed. Anyone recommendations pro or con on a brand.
Thanks "cdlaine" - been preaching to the choir on that one (TG theft)
for a long time.
Lots of posters either have never heard of it - or don't believe it - - "not where I live". - How about where you travel?
TG theft is big business - and a vicious circle (not including the damaged ones needing replacement).
Depending on insurance deductible (if covered) - expect an out-of-pocket replacement cost of at least $500.
Plenty of options for "V" gate TGs from cheap to expensive.
(Google: "Tailgates")
Bonus benefit - lighter weight, and *if* you are removing your "V" gate and drop a corner, it's no big deal.
No need to lower the TG to hitch..:C
