Tailgate warning

[21STCMC]

Pretty sure the warning has been posted but I didn't see it and learned the hard way.

Don't pop the tailgate with your remote if you have a hitch receptacle and ball installed,

it dents the friggin tail gate when it lowers!!

Yeah. It should lock itself out if you have a trailer connected. That would be a smart feature.

There is a nice warning in the owners manual about this...

I saw this coming with that Pro tailgate you have that extra step down and you open the tailgate and it will smash right into your hitch receiver. The first truck I saw I showed it to the sales guy that was on the showroom floor at the car show and he's like wow man never saw that happening. Now it's a big problem lot of people are denting the crap out of their tailgates
