Who else is waiting for the new tailgate?

[Jhas]

Looking at a new Longhorn.....think I’ll wait for the tailgate option.

How about anyone else?

Looks interesting to me, the new tailgate, but when will it to be available to order?

I'm not sure what the big deal with the tailgates is to be honest. I dont see it making a big difference in the day to day use of the truck.

Already have my truck but would not get the tailgate if I was ordering. I don't like the look of the seam and don't really see a use for the functions in my day-to-day. Plus its a decent upcharge.

I feel the same as ranger482. Would not have ordered it personally but it’s nice to have options!

I am going to wait. It’s going to be so handy not having to crawl in the back, or stomp around with snowy or dirty boots every time to grab stuff.

While I don't feel super bummed about getting my truck before seeing the new tailgate as it's not a huge deal. I'd definitely have waited to get it with the tailgate if I was buying now

 

[arizonapaul]

anybody know what the cost of this option would be...

 

[Bleda2002]

975 according to the press release

If it was like the GMC or Chevy tailgate I might want to wait for it but I don't like the split design at all. GM finally got something right that Ram is trying to copy but I think they fell a little short on this one. GM tailgate design is a lot better just the rest of the GM trucks are dated. Just my opinion.

Funny, I was of the other opinion. The GM one seems gimicky and mostly unuseful other than the step functionality which is pretty great.

The split letting me get farther in to the bed and unload it with out getting crud in the split seemed more useful for me although I'd still want to add the bed step too.

I can't wait to see the posts from folks on the new and creative ways they manage to damage the new tail gate. I personally don't see the point of it.

Me too,, for the Ram's and GM's,, sometimes simpler is better.

I agree. I believe the Ram tailgate is more user friendly, less hassle, etc. However, I just do not like the look. It's not for me.

I don't think GM got it right at all. Ford did. The GM one is going to put your pants right up against your bumper. Also way to complicated. Wait till it gets dirty, or dented.

No interest in the seam of the 2 halves of the gate. Wouldnt have gotten a Ram if that's all they offered.
