GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 73
Incorrectly Seated Tailgate Strap
When hauling cargo using the mid position and the tail-
gate, you
must support the load at two forward loca-
tions:
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 wheelhouses.
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
500 lbs (226 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
Light, removal of the tailgate is not recommended.
