Question Anyone using a LiftGate?

Been looking around a bit lately, wonder if anyone here has a liftgate on an F150.

i sometimes use the college's work truck with a lift gate, and it works well, it is a semi-new lift gate, even though it is a late 80s work truck... the only annoying part is having to leave the truck lights on to use the lift gate... i know why, to get power, but it is annoying... i can't answer many questions, but it is very helpful with heavy things like speakers and huge subwoofers we haul for campus activities board

i have a 96 f 150 4x4 with an eagle lift gate the only trouble is the weight on the truck is constant and u may need more springs in the back it works best with the truck running so as not to drain the battery it is very usefull when workin alone and u need to lift heavy stuff hope it helps

No but I wish the big old box truck I drive at work had one on it instead of a ramp also wish we had a F250 or F350 Superduty instead of the jap Isuzu truck with the Chevy 350 engine in it as I don't want to be stranded on the side of the road when that Chevy engine gives out on it which could happen anytime since it is a Chevy engine.
