Hitchgate Solo vs Tiregate VT

I'd like to hear people's thoughts on both the Wilco Hitchgate Solo (high clearance model) and the Wilco Tiregate VT. I'm trying to figure out which one I should choose. It has come down to one of these models.

For me, here are some of the reasons I'd go with one or the other...

Hitchgate Solo
Pros: Removable, Keep the tailgate, Cheaper
Cons: Seems like it sticks out far, Have to relocate license plate.

Tiregate VT
Pros: No need to relocate license plate, Integrated look/feel, doesn't stick out as far
Cons: Lose the surface space that a tailgate gives when down, More expensive

If you have one of these on your 3rd Gen Tacoma, please post your your experiences and a few pictures if you can. Thanks!

Well I ordered both and will sell the one I don't like...

 

interesting .....

 

keep us posted

 

They're about 2 weeks out...

 

In for update

 

What did you end up thinking of the tiregate? For that price you can almost get a new rear bumper with a tire kickout.

 

Any updates yet? It's been a while

 

Any update? Heard they were having issues?
