Check out our JSC video #13! I keep the small remote tucked under a finger when I carry stuff out from The Home Depot (I don't like to hassel a cart and return it if I can carry it usually). Yea, the guys who don't regularly use their trucks might not understand this benefit. That black chevy used to be a hard working truck.

Does your vehicle have:auto trans, power steering,windows,mirrors,brake­s,seats? Real men don't need no stinkin A/C either, do we? Lifting a 50-100# gate is the most difficult task asked of the truck owner, and you don't think a power tailgate is a glaring omission from their otherwise extensive power lineup? There's the elderly who want a truck but shouldn't have to struggle with such a chore, most women do not want to do the 50# lift, and the limitd mobility who just plain can't.

well uhh... I'll be damned if my dads GMC '93 Sierra's tailgate requires even 25lbs of force to put it up or down. It is a convenience for elderly people, but that doesnt mean it requires that much force to lift or drop it. Actually, I'd say pushing up the hood of a truck probably weighs more... just a side note

Does your dad have roll-up windows? How hard do you think it is to crank them open? Tailgates have gotten heavier, some gates weight in at 83#'s! Your dads hood has a torsion spring, can be lifter with 1 finger, besides, how many times have you approached the bed with an arm full of stuff, only to have to set it down to open the gate? Or get in & out twice during 5th wheel trailer hookups? Then there's the mileage improving spoiler mode...

[mgsboy1]

my dad has the electric windows, so we dont have to crank em. how much better gas mileage do u get? is that just when u drop the tailgate?

[droptail]

The truck shown get almost 2 mpg improvement steady state cruising at 70mph.

You gotta be pretty damn lazy if you don't even feel like opening your tailgate.

I have a 98 model that is the same body style and I have to admit this would be nice because the tailgate is pretty heavy when your trying to hold something in your hand and open it. I'm only 19 and I see how this would be very useful..the people who think it wouldn't must not use their truck for actual work.

Well VW driver, do you even own a truck?

It can be custom installed hidden as seen in these vids as well (or easily painted body color).
