Alert tailgate open

[zach282]

Is the dealership able to turn it on just for the light to come on. I carry a large wooden crate with chains in and I've had it open and don't realize and then drive down the high with it down. I have a 21 Laramie so it should have it just disabled from what i understand from what others have said.

No, the dealership can not turn it on. You can do it with alfaobd or JScan.
All 2019-2021 trucks just need alfaobd or JScan to enable the warning.
All 2022-2024 trucks that came from the factory without the warning need alfaobd or JScan to enable it, AND need the correct passenger tailgate latch and tailgate wiring installed.

But then the light that will be on, will be the same of the doors, .... right?

Should be all the info you need in the following thread:

Thread 'No Tailgate Ajar Warning (MY22)'

Jan 26, 2022

Anyone else completely missing this on their (2022) truck? I was reading about how people didn't have this active from the factory and were using AlfaOBD to turn it on. Then I saw a comment from someone who said this didn't work on their MY2022. So I double-checked my build sheet and sure enough, no mention of tailgate ajar warning at all.

Not sure what I'm more upset about; the fact that it's completely missing, or the fact that I didn't notice until now.

And lastly, I'm guessing not but is there a way to add this functionality? I consider this a semi-serious safety issue. If my...
