Upgrading to to a key fob that has tail gate release?

[skid_valve]

I just bought a 2021 big horn and it only came with one key fob, a beat up one at that. I already got a aje case for it but id like to have a second factory key fob, now the key fob i have is only lock, unlock, remote start, and panic. But my tailgate itself seems to be electric with the handle being a button instead of a lever and it slowly lowering itself down if i let go instead of slamming.

So my question is if I get a key fob with the tail gate release button as well and have a lock smith program the key to my truck will the tailgate release button work?? I looked around the forum first before asking but i didn't seem to find an answer.

Thanks -skid_valve

The latch is electric release, the tailgate is lowering slowly due to an internal shock behind the passenger side taillight. (at least it is on the HD's).

Some that are handy with precision soldering have just added a micro switch to the remotes. JScan can also program FOB's now. I don't have the link for the 5th gen 1500 FOB (they're different than HD) but the ebay seller I got mine from is nasse_4407
