MFT trouble closing

[PARebel]

Hello - new to the group and to Ram. I have a 2020 Rebel with Multifunction Tailgate. I am finding that closing mft barn door style is very finicky. I often have to open and close them a few times before the register closed, otherwise I get the open door light on the dash display. I also find when it’s in the state it will not open normal style (like a typical pickup tailgate )

Has anyone else had issues like this, wondering if it is just an adjustment or perhaps something that is a design problem.

Really appreciate the forum, it’s tremendously helpful.

I don't have the MFT, on a similar thread, many had the same problem as you with the MFT, I also had it on my standard tailgate. After a couple of months it must have "wore in" It no longer causes me any problems. The same was said by others on the MFT thread. It seems to get better with time.

We had trouble with the one on our Limited at first, but after a couple of weeks of using it the light stopped coming on. Either we got better at closing it or it needed a break-in period. Either way it's fine now. Hopefully yours will be the same way.

I had this exact issue with my MFT. I had to really slam my barn doors shut or the truck would register them as open. After about 3-4 weeks the issue went away. And I can close the doors with a more normal amount of force and no issues. I’ve had the truck about 8 months now.

Very much appreciate the responses. Hopefully it will break in as you guys have experienced.

Hello all,

New member, just joined today actually, looking for some help. The MFT on my 2020 Limited has just developed and issue. The second barn door (smaller door) has quite opening all together. I can pull the handle but it doesn't feel like it's connected to anything, I can't feel any resistance is what i mean.

I fully intend to take off the plastic panel and take a look at the internals as soon as I get a day off but I figured i'd ask around and see if anyone else has had this issue.

Thanks in advance for any help or insights.

I'd probably take it in and have it looked at if it's still under warranty. But now I'm curious since both of the trucks we own have the MFT now. Please keep us updated on what you find. And welcome to the forum!
