Actually I prefer this new tail gate by RAM.

They gave taken a proven, useful design used on Honda pickups and
enhanced it. I especially like the kick activated step. It looks like
its low enough to be really useful and its out of the way of trailering.


Yes!Â* With Honda and Ram you can actually get really close to the bed.


That's the real benefit I see. When I saw that it reminded me the back
door on a 70s station wagon that would swing all the way out.

Of course, if they'd quick making these things so fricken high off the
ground, the gate wouldn't be an issue. Probably 85% of these trucks
with such high suspension never get the springs bent, if you know what I
mean.

My old '84 F-150 could comfortably haul a ton and a half of gravel but I
could see the top of the roof and into the engine bay without a step
ladder.
