I have not had my truck long, but one thing I have noticed is that I am having issues with my MFT. When I open it to the side and not drop the entire gate down and try to close the swing gate it is not fully closing even though I am slaming it pretty good. I will get a pop up on the dash that the gate is not closed. I initially thought it was catching on the factory bed cover (limited) so I tried closing it with the cover open and got the same results. Is there an easy adjustment or do I need to plan a trip to the dealer for adjustment?

I had issues with the gate showing that it wasn’t closed when it clearly looked closed and often needed to slam each of the gates really hard. But, that problem lasted about a month or two and then went away.

I bought my 2020 1500 in December (2019), so I hope that this problem doesn’t return when it starts getting cold again.....

We had a similar problem with our Limited. Tailgate ajar indicator would light up even after slamming the gate. It cleared up on it's own after a week or two. Haven't seen it again since early May.

Had same thing happen on a '20 Laramie. Several slams and a tiny bit of dust/dirt wiped away from the close sensor, and all is good.

Yeh I had this issue for the first month or so that I had my truck.

Seemed to fix itself, hasn’t happened the last 5 months or so.
