No ramp inside tailgate is a let down but we already expected the truck not to have it weeks ago. Now has anyone seen the truck do the backend kneeling all the way down while the front goes all the way up? If truck can't even do this, I'm not sure if I'll go ahead with the purchase.
Need to add another 24" to the tailgate as there's another swing out gate that goes beyond the 2' height of the tailgate, totaling 48" beyond the bed and go down another 15 degrees or so pass the pane of the tailgate. Refer to the picture if in doubt.
Bring IT Tailgates has a tailgate that has a panel that swings up 90 degrees from the top pivot, practically extends the gate by 2', and with built-in ramps, this could be our solution if Tesla doesn't include the built-in ramp. BTW YouTube has some scary videos of people falling off their...
With the truck in kneel mode and tailgate down, how far off the ground would the surface of the tailgate be? 2'? If so then not too high of a step up and almost doable for most of us old geezers and dogs, and if we need to attach a ramp, the length wouldn't need to be as long as one for 4WD...
if the kneel mode and tilt the tailgate way down, then it wouldn't be too bad for most dogs to jump onto the ramp, or only a small stepping stool or ramp would be needed.
So there are rumors that there'll be no slide out ramps from the tailgate, and if true it'd be hard to get onto the bed. Ford F150 has the optional slide out step and vertical grab bar and others have various fold down contractions in the tailgate. I'd be so disappointed if there's no easy way...
I got my F150 Lightning for $44K, sold it for $56K after 4 or 5 months driving it. Maybe you can do the same? BTW I'm 3rd on list for a Spyder RS at a dealership and not sure if my CT or RS will come first, can't wait for either one.
I see two cables attached to the sides of the tailgate and has anyone noticed it these are removable to allow the tailgate to tilt downward to turn into a ramp? I really need this feature for my dog to walk up to the bed.
