    Tail gate warning

    My 2019 tailgate has failed to open after taking a load of garden soil home. Wanted to give a heads up that the tailgate is not tight enough to prevent dirt and sand from entering and if anything contacts the actuators it will cause them fail. Of course Ram service had no ideas on prevention and...
