    So sad how people feel that they need an electronic tailgate? My tailgate on my 2004 opens so easy!
    No wonder normal person can't afford new vehicles anymore
    Awesome job Ivan

      My first thought was WHY have an electric tailgate . . . I don't even want an automatic transmission. I often remove my tailgate so a forklift can get a pallet in easier and so the young kid driving it does not hit mt tailgate. But this must be a *recreation* vehicle . . .

      I agree, I would rather have the cushion let down option on the gate. How many times, I had something in hand, and one hand to open tail gate, and it slams down.

      I don't think people buy a 3/4 ton denali because it has a split electronic activated tailgate.I'm sure that's way down on the list of features a buyer is looking for. This tailgate was a huge ad campaign by GM . Why .. who knows. Buy a GM not a Ford or Dodge because it has a two piece tailgate. SMH
      Actually this stems from a body guy flip flopping two actuators not from electronics failing.

      It's all about the lock feature, that bed also has a power sliding tonneau cover. A simple mechanical latch and power lock is too old school to be cool. So GM engineers thought up this archaic mess, which if it included power opening and closing would have made some sense. But as it stands it is a button push followed by manual effort, it saves nothing, at least with an old school tailgate latch it was one simple motion to open, pull and lower. This deal is push a button, pull the gate, catch the gate, lower the gate.

    I know what you mean Ivan. I got really comfortable with my old Launch X431 Pad II because it did everything I needed it to do reliably. The only major drawback that I had with it was when the DLC port lost power and can't power the VCI. Now you have to find what fuse blew. Where your average snap on scanner usually doesn't care if the DLC has power or not.
    Anyway, nice detective work with the tailgate latches. It's true that a lot of body guys usually don't understand how some mechanical or electronic things work. I'm constantly tending to those issues that the body guys at my shop randomly miss.

    Working in a GM body shop I replace quite a few of those upper gates because they’ll hit the trailer hitch if you leave it installed. You can actually lock out the upper gate so it doesn’t accidentally open for that reason, and if you don’t realize that it makes for some unnecessary diagnostics when you replace a tailgate and can’t figure out why it isn’t working.

    I like the step design - I have a 2013 F150 with the pull out step and it's fantastic - this seems even better being a bit wider. Double-hinging the tailgate adds complexity and cost...but the real issue is the GM marketing team saying we know how to make this a premium option and tossing actuators and wiring in it - it's going to fail eventually and I bet it's before a handle that pulls a couple rods or cables does.

    In 1994 we ( my company) bought an F150 pickup with a 4.9 six cylinder engine, 2wd, 5 speed manual transmission. Today, over 30 years later, I am long retired (78) and that truck is sitting in my driveway today. I replaced the clutch in 2015. That truck is the best vehicle I have ever owned. It cost $15,000 in 1994. It was paid off in 1999. If someone in the Ford upper echelon dug out the drawings and re- released this vehicle today, and sold them for around $28,000 they would sell more of them than anyone would believe, as its reputation preceeds it. I dont know when, or if anyone at Ford will have the common sense to go back to the premise upon which Henry Ford built his first and subsequent vehicles, " Build a vehicle which the people that work for me can afford" They (Ford) has ruined the reputation of the BEST SELLING VEHICLE IN THE WORLD FOR OVER 50 YEARS. You have to be a company run by idiots to do that.

      @@NCJerry So don't buy one at all. Most people who pay an outlandish $100k for these things nowadays work in an office and have no legit reason to buy something this ridiculous, they're just doing it to say "look at me." If people with more money than common sense would simply refrain themselves, maybe car manufacturers would start being taught a lesson and prices would start getting back more toward this side of normal again. But unfortunately too many attention starved socialite greedies these days, and car manufacturers and dealers know they can prey on them. Same reason dealerships right after Covid got away with upcharging a Ford Bronco by $10-$15k and Ford didn't do a damn thing about it.

      Unfortunately, you as the consumer often don't have that choice. The manufacturers bundle the feature into a specific trim level that may have things that are useful or desired. You get the feature whether you want it or not. I bought a truck and had a difficult time getting all of the features I wanted without a moonroof included as part of the different packages Luckily, I had a salesperson who knew how to get around the manufacturer's bundling of the moonroof into various packages.

      I agree, but it's all about progress too. A nation that stops innovation is a nation that will no longer be prosperous. Seems like GM and Ford so behind in EV technology. The whole industry seems to be in limbo now. Where are our "Henry Ford's" and "Thomas Edisons"? Seems like after Apollo, we on a slow splash down. Maybe our workers just want too much $ to work and our technology go elsewhere? Just seems like a dollar buys nothing now.

      It was probably more obvious than that. They probably installed the latches and noticed they couldn't get the plugs on. So they took the latches back out, plugged them in, and then reinstalled them without questioning why they would have to do that.

You had your laptop and you panned your camera to the right and I noticed the gearshift. I was struggling with the fact that this $80,000 "fancy-pants" (as you like to say) truck didn't even have automatic transmission. Then I noticed you were sitting in your XL-7. LOL.

    Can't really blame the 'fancy' truck on this one. Someone wasn't paying attention when they put it back together. I guess you could say that they should've made it so it is not possible to install it on the wrong side, but you can never underestimate the ability of people to find a way put something together wrong.

  • @mikedaugharty5544
    @mikedaugharty5544 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Ivan I think the problem with the tailgate being fixed has to do with improper operation previously by someone. because if you have a receiver in the hitch. ie ball and open that lower gate step at the same time,the step hits the receiver and dents' the tailgate step part !!so that's probably why the tailgate was fixed to begin with so let that be a warning to all you out there that have that option or know of someone that has that option this wasn't the first vehicle that happened to let me tell you

    I own nearly the same truck (2022 Denali 2500) I never had an issue with my tailgate until I went to my dealer who had a special on an oil change. The Service Manager said while you’re here, we’ll fix the recall on the tailgate. Ok, great. Well, now it won’t open and drops down on its own. Now I have to take it back. I’m asking myself why I needed this fancy shit. For years I had a regular tailgate and it never broke. That’s what you get for $90,000. A bunch of bullshit. Keep it simple.

    This is nothing new. We had a wiring problem with the tailgate on our '69 F100 once. A piece of fence wire got stuck in the latch and wouldn't allow it to catch. Wire removed, problem solved. If I drop something and crush my computerized tailgate, is the truck worth fixing or will the insurance company just total it out?
