That GM gate, to me, is a nightmare. Way too many parts, and can't use it with a trailer connected. I do kinda like the barn door gate.

Leave the JT gate alone, I say. How 'bout we simplify?

People already whimpering and puffy eyed because a Gladiator costs too much, I don't think adding a $3k tailgate is going to help with that.

A step? You've got two back tires already equipped with a non skid surface for that. People goind to want a golf club caddy, and make up mirror under the hood next.


It’s the dismount from the bed that I loved the F150 step for. Two bulging discs no likey turn and pivot or jumping down. I love the idea of the ram box too but without stakeholes that wipes out any bed rack ideas. I also had these on my F150. Decent compromise vs a ram box IMO

With the tailgate multifunction war going on could the jt tailgate be next on the list?

Actually I think that looks dumb and I can't believe they basically hang their entire sales on that commercial.

Wish they had something, that is one of the highest tailgate heights I've dealt with. I turn 60 tomorrow, I'm a left leg below knee amputee with a metal knee. I have to sit on the tailgate and stand up in the bed or get a step ladder to get into the bed, it is a good thing I can reach everything in the bed with the low bed depth.

I like the idea of a dual action opening like the Honda Ridgeline. Swings down or out. Then would be easier to use a swing out tire carrier.

i would rather Jeep persue some sort of storage in the bed sides like the ‘Ram box’ deal. (If they Have to add more gadgets)
those fender well mods they had on that Wayout concept would be were I started.

would be nice to have a system like the decked system but split in the center with pull grips on each side where they flip up to become kinda like a side rack for when you want the depth of the bed and something that could mount on top to make a full rack for kayaks ect. It would be litteraly like a three way functional master bed design.
I really like this idea. I considered getting a drawer system when I had a Sierra a few years ago but didn't want to give up the bed depth without spending a while removing drawers and storing them. Something that flips up would be cool, but I'm guessing a lot of the storage capacity would be lost to the flip up mechanism.

So much of that concept was pretty slick. That rack with panels to make it a full topper, or maybe soft-top like windows. Hmmmm

I really hope not

But I had the tailgate step on my my F-150 and found it extremely useful
my issue with my F250’s step was that the handle was on the wrong side. I’m severely right handed.

What is a JT
Justin Randall Timberlake (born January 31, 1981) occasionally known by his initials, JT, is an American singer, songwriter, actor, dancer, and record producer.

To the best of my knowledge, he currently, and probably always, has lacked a factory-standard tailgate.
