Thank you sweet baby Jesus, that tailgate was terrible

We cant only hope so! That tailgate was terrible.

Not gone, on hiatus,

They're having issues with the 2016 bedside molding taking on a white ashen sun rotted look. Which the rear facia would also be made of in all likelihood.

Lots of owners being told to use back to black type products after 2 month old trucks are turning white and weather beaten under that huge fireball in the sky.

My guess is their re-working the chemistry to make it more durable, less porous.

All speculation of course, but based on what I'm hearing about the bedside molding and tailgate composite material. And based on a 3rd party experience with the dealer on a new 2016 Eco. The tech pretty much gave the customer his can and said get used to using this..

I really hope they just scrap it. It looks way better without.

looks much better now! Love the new look completely with this tailgate.

The exhaust tips have to go. I would probably cut right after the axle.

Much nicer, the other is too cheap gray/black plastic fisher price toy looking.
