That slide straight down tailgate is a stupid idea.
Of course body shops will love it though.
I thinks it's brilliant and long overdue. Nothing worse than trying to load 60# bags of cement or 40# bags of pellets in your truck while having to lean way forward just to reach them.
When I had my 12 CTD and a 5er I removed the tailgate when towing. I usually never put it back on until fall. I loved being able to reach in the bed without having to lean over the tailgate.
