Same as everybody above. It looked gimmicky at first, but since I wanted other Denali features, I got it. could not care less of it was there or not. I have the truck for 9 months now, and almost always, when I need the bed, I use one of the multi-pro configuration. It is so convenient to shorten the gate when loading something heavy, easier to climb the bed - I no longer use the bumper steps, as the gate is better, and it is one great seat when needed. I highly recommend not to delete it, unless you carry an ATV and use ramps more often than other stuff. Ramps can be used with it, but you need to be more careful.
