Powered Tailgate Issue

NO 5hit, Sherlock. Thanks for clearing that up. My comments still stand. Actually, there is less than zero excuse for needing it to power close. I can maybe see a tiny justification for power opening. But not really. Prats that want a power tailgate are the reason Raptors cost $75,000. Idiots

Look up info on an autoimmune disease named RA and then tell me there’s zero excuse for needing it to power close. And that’s just one medical condition, I could give you a laundry list.

Sounds as if the locking mechanism is disengaging to open & re-engaging to close. Should it do something different?

It’s a lot louder in person, the first snap that is. The second is the locking mechanism engaging. Doesn’t really bother me, since it’s only when I open and close the tailgate. If it was everytime i opened the driver door that might annoy me.

Mine is similar and louder in person, it sounds like hard plastic snapping every time the lock engages. I did some research and could be something around the torsion bar in the tailgate (?). I am having it looked at next week in addition to other issues and will advise back.

Mine is silent until it latches at the top.

Can you post a quick video? Just to confirm there is a problem for those with the loud snapping

Sure. Give me about 30mins and I’ll run outside
