It is a neat idea, saw somthing similar on the new f -450 this month in truck trend. The F-150 tailgate is the highest of any truck I have owned, even at 6'4" I have a hard time jumping up there

It's a neat idea that'll probably add $1000 to the price of the truck.

That thing looks like it will collapse if anyone over 200 lbs steps on it. When that happens lawsuits will follow suit. Not a good moneymaker in my book.

I'm sure they've tested it and has some small print disclaimer somewhere.
