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.
They came out with hinged door tailgates to handle that.
That slide down will scratched up and dented in no time.
