    That was something I knew. Only the 1st, 2nd and 5th gens have the tailgate, which is something I miss a lot on my 3rd.

    Thanks, I've been looking at either something from PIAA or Rigid. I'll receive a small deal on either from a local dealer so trying to make up my mind. I love the DOT approved Rigid Duallies but know the PIAA's will fill the circular hole a lot better

    Since when does the 5th gen have a tail gate? All the ones I've seen and been in had hatches

    I stand corrected...could have sworn they went back to tailgate on them. I was wrong :(

    I wish they did. Tailgates are way better than hatches

    Agreed, this is probably the conversation I was having with my friend while looking at the 5th Gens.

    I had the DOT rigids on my 4th gen. Loved them. They looked good in my shrockworks bumper. Awesome cut off.

    They have a grated road you can drive on. No ohv or off road driving. I saw a predator drone while I was there. Pretty sweet.

    The biggest downside I see of the 2nd gen tailgate is the window has to roll down first. Seems annoying in snow and rain. It is cool that you can get a 2nd gen with a rear tire carrier from the factory though.
    I know right.
