72 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
TAILGATE
OPENING
The power tailgate may be opened by pushing
the tailgate release pad located on the tailgate
door.
The tailgate damper strut will lower the tailgate
to the open position (if equipped).
Electronic Tailgate Release — If Equipped
The key fob may be equipped with an
electronic release feature for the
tailgate, allowing hands-free tailgate
opening. To activate, push and
release the Tailgate Release button on the key
fob twice within five seconds. The tailgate door
will unlatch, and slowly lower into the open
position.
If equipped, a button on the center overhead
console inside the vehicle can be used to
release the tailgate.
NOTE:
The Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover (if equipped) may
prevent Electronic Tailgate Release if installed.
The Tonneau Cover must be removed or folded
up before releasing the tailgate. Refer to
“Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover — If Equipped” in this
chapter for further information.
CLOSING
To close the tailgate, push it upward until both
sides are latched.
NOTE:
Pull back on the tailgate firmly after closing to
ensure it is securely latched.
BED STEP — IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with an
extendable bed step on the driver’s side of the
tailgate to provide easier entry and exit into the
truck bed.
Bed Step Location
Bed Step Components
To extend the bed step, place your foot on the
protruding foot tab located on the left edge of
the bed step, and push rearward.
CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage, do not slam the
hood to close it. Use a firm downward push at
the front center of the hood to ensure that
both latches engage.
