116 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Incorrectly Seated Tailgate Strap
When hauling cargo using the mid position and
the tailgate, you must support the load at two
forward locations:
At the top of the rear wheelhouse (1)
Between the wheelhouse and the
tailgate (2)
Chamfered Boards In Pickup Box
NOTE:
Failure to support the load at these two forward
locations could result in damage.
Three 2x4 boards are needed to provide support
at locations (1) and (2). Each board will need to
be cut to fit inside the pickup box.
The support at location (1) should be seated in
the dedicated formation on top of the wheel-
houses.
The support at location (2) should use the
remaining two 2x4s. Stack the boards and place
them into the formation in the side wall of the
pickup box. The corners of the bottom board will
need to be chamfered to fit.
NOTE:
All cargo transported in the pickup box must
be secured.
The maximum payload for the mid position
is 300 lb (136 kg).
CLOSING
To close the tailgate, lift upward until both sides
latch into place.
NOTE:
If the Tonneau Cover is installed, make sure the
Tonneau Cover is fully closed before closing the
tailgate.
Due to the presence of the Center
High-Mounted Stop Lamp, removal of the tail-
gate is not recommended.
1 — Support Location 1
2 — Support Location 2
CAUTION!
After closing, pull back on the tailgate firmly to
ensure it is securely latched. Failure to securely
latch the tailgate could result in damage to the
vehicle or cargo.
