Electronic Tailgate Release — If Equipped
The key fob may be equipped with an electronic
release feature for the tailgate, allowing
hands-free tailgate opening. To activate, push
and release the Tailgate Release button on the
key fob twice within five seconds. The tailgate door will
unlatch, and slowly lower into the open position.
If equipped, a button on the center overhead console
inside the vehicle can be used to release the tailgate.
An indicator light may also signal when the tailgate is
open.
For the tailgate to lower, the vehicle must be stationary
and in PARK or NEUTRAL.
NOTE:
The optional Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover

must be removed or folded up before releasing the

Opening
The tailgate must be latched closed to open the swing

Always close the 40 split door first, then close the 60 split
door. The swing doors must be securely latched before the
tailgate can be lowered.
NOTE:

When the swing doors are open, the maximum load
placed on a door cannot exceed 180 lb (82 kg).

Pull back on the swing doors firmly after closing to
ensure they are securely latched. Similar to the side
door ajar light inside the cab, the bed light above the
rear window will remain on if the tailgate doors are not
fully closed.
WARNING!
To avoid injury, make sure there is no one in the way of
the power tailgate as it is opening or closing, and keep
hands away from the tailgate hinges when in use. You
or other could be injured if caught in the path of the
power tailgate or tailgate hinges.
