Vented tailgate

[Hardcandy]

Newbie here with a question. What are the pros and cons of a vented tailgate? I have a 8' box with a trifold cover and my stock tailgate on now, what should I do? This wasn't an issue when I had my TT

You will hear plenty of stories and myths. We have one on this truck and the last one simply because we can see into the rear of the truck better when hooking and unhooking the 5th wheel without having to lower the tailgate.

Never had anything fly out because we understand that things may fly out so we properly secure anything that might fly out.

Pro's
- some claim better mileage
- visibility and ease of hooking up

Con's
- Cost. Probably never recoop any fuel savings
- Anything light in the back of the truck will likely fly out.
- Looks. Some like the look, some hate it. I'm the later but that's just me..
