    I was thinking the same thing. Seems more common in the 3rd gen forum though. Maybe not.

    Hey, hey, hey. This is not the place for your logic and simple solutions. We need complicated and irrational.

    Will someone please offer an idea for what this is all about? My brain hurts. What could you load on a semi regular basis that requires you to stay in the bed while you shut the tailgate, but then stands on its own with tailgate shut.

    Get one of those suction cups with a hook on it, attach to the outside of the tailgate, tie string to it.

    Sounds like you need some rope or tie down straps for “the item” that you are loading.

    I have loaded probably 5K loads in pickups over the past 40 years. I have never, ever been in a situation you describe. Ever. From furniture to steel to poop to lumber.

    Yes lol. I am and have been an active member of various car forums for almost 20 years. I have never seen anything like this ever before. It is comical.
