I've only had my Gladiator since May of this year. Twice now, I have found the tailgate open. One time after I got inside and put it in reverse to see the gate down. Another time, I just noticed it down when coming out to it.
I do not have an electronic means or setup to open it.
Anyone else...
My Rough Country out performed the BakFlips I've had in the past. Absolutely no water leaks and I get full use of the bed if I fold it forward. For the price, you can't beat it. JMHO
