Trying to convince ford dealerships that the tailgate was up, and i did not forget to secure or touched one of the buttons to release the lock.

The tailgate at times comes unlatched. I do have a canopy which keeps the tailgate from dropping down all the way. Truck only has 10700 miles on it and is still on warranty.

For no reason the tailgate will open on it's own. Either driving or parked. Tailgate has come down a number of times. At highway speeds and in a parking lot.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 ford f-350. While driving 65 mph, the electric tailgate slowly opened on its own without warning. As a result, objects in the cargo bed spilled onto the highway.

The 2017 ford superduty trucks have a remote tailgate release in the lariat and king ranch models. The tailgate of my truck and others have dropped without action from the user. This makes these vehicles unsafe when carrying cargo that is only secured by the tailgate or when towing 5th wheel trailers. Mine has dropped some 16 times since november. Apparently ford dealers are universally blaming the operators for…
