Re: 5th Wheel Tailgate or will the Stock Tailgate work?
Your regular tail gate will work just fine.....and you will eventually forget to drop it when hitching up or unhitching and bend it....and then go buy a 5'ver tail gate after you've ruined the factory tailgate.
And don't tell me you won't do it. EVERYBODY does it, sooner or later. If you don't want to spend the money on a 5'ver tailgate, buy a net to stretch across the opening and REMOVE your tailgate anytime you are towing.
In the campgrounds on 5th wheel haulers, there are two types of tailgates: 5'ver tailgates and bent factory tailgates.
Buy the 5'ver tailgate now and save the factory tailgate for for reinstallation when you trade on the next truck, or bend the factory tailgate and still buy a 5'ver tailgate, but have to buy a new factory tailgate for a trade.
Florida ED......bent two factory tailgates before I learned my lesson
