My multifunction tailgate will release with key fob but I can hear it unlock but for some reason it will not swing open I have to grab it and pull it open....

The tailgate release with key fob should drop it down, not swing it open. If it's not dropping, might need to adjust the latches. As far as swinging out, AFAIK, you always have to pull it open to the side

The fob opens the tailgate in the traditional way. But you have to use the upper release to open it barn door style. The tailgate on our Limited does not drop when you use the fob. But that's because of the tonneau cover. With the cover retracted the tailgate drops with the fob.
