Tailgate Step Stuck
I just bought a 2014 Platinum and the step in the tailgate will not come out. Any insight on if there is a release somewhere?

With the tailgate open, you lift up on the bottom edge of the step to release the catch and pull. It's a bit tricky the first time you try. I had to have someone at the dealership show me how it was done.

You have to be over 60 to get it to work!
