Interesting. Beats Fords Man step or however they (GM) mocked it. lol

My GMC option sheet said I was supposed to have the easy whatever tailgate, but it seems normal and heavy to me and I wonder if someone switched it.

Should be perfect for the mall-crawlers & suburbanites. :laughing:

I like the concept, but I keep my trucks too long and gadgets like that are prone to fail. I can't imagine using it once it's packed full, inside and out, with road brine and snow slush for 3 months a year. After about 4 years, it will be a mess. I'm sure it's tested, but I also wonder how it works after a few loads of mulch or 411 crushed stone.

Yeah, aside from the tuna fish can and cheesy plastic construction of my HD GMC, it has been a good truck. Just the Gimmicks are the first to fail. Nudge a snowbank and the "Park Assist" is History! So many guys have backed into something with the tailgate open. Costly enough, but this would make it extra special!

I would hate to think about the price for that replacement part.

Anything other than an 8 foot bed is a short bed.

These new "trucks" are just oversized urban, yuppie-mobile, quad cab, 4x4, gas guzzlers with useless 4 foot boxes. And the SUV's are the spouse's soccer mom mini-van replacement. The 4x4 is required for when they drive over the street curbs because they don't know how to keep the vehicle in the lane.

Yep, been driving pickup trucks since the late '70s and never damaged a single tailgate. If I were to damage one, that new one would be it. $$ :shocked:

I've been driving pickups for about the same length of time and can honestly say that I haven't damaged one since last year.
Carrying snowsleds with the tailgate down is hard on them in many ways, between the road salt and potholes tailgates really take a beating.
