New Truck, 2013 Northstar Pop Up
Wondering Why...... I had a 2013 GMC 3500 SRW Long Bed which I used to carry a 2015 Northstar Popup camper. When using the camper, I would always remove the tailgate before installing the camper. T...

I have often warned people that is the main drawback with leaving the tailgate on. You could run one of those goofy mustache things across your rear bumper to catch any rocks thrown up by the wheels until they fall off and you give up on the idea.
Yes, the trucks are taller because everyone just goes and puts at least a 2" lift kit on them as soon as they get them home, right? The jacked up truck look is "in" right now.
Also if you want a truck that doesn't have the bells and whistles you can get one. Just find a dealer that does fleet sales. They usually have a line of plain-jane trucks on the lot. Who cares if it's white? That's the most popular color right now. Besides you can always get it vinyl wrapped in any color you want.
You forget to take your Metamucil this morning? This whole post is bitter and laughable at the same time.
And PS, the OP "purchased" as in past tense, already bought the new truck, so guessing he doesn't just want to go down to the fleet dealer and get ANOTHER NEW truck.
And getting it wrapped? Sure it's an option. An expensive temporary option. Especially considering we're talking about a minor or even just potential issue with a tailgate that literally can be removed in 1 minute, and if the swiss army tailgate is ACTUALLY prohibitive for the owner, a new/used, traditional tailgate can be purchased way cheaper than trading a new truck for another new truck and then getting it wrapped.
What you suggested is akin to needing to go to the grocery store for a few things, but rather than drive to the store and pick up your items, you book a flight to another city, fly there, uber to a store, get your stuff, check a bag and fly home....
You can try to contrive it any way you want, but where was I saying that the OP should go and trade trucks?
I was simply stating the fact that you CAN get a plain jane truck if you want.
I know of many grumpy old pharts who would gladly pay extra for a plain jane truck wrapped in the color of their choice rather than put up with all the fancy-schmancy modern bells and whistles. "More to go wrong!"
