its called a tailgate(:
merdedes make a pickup truck?
I once had a 1987 that had the same problem! On the inside of the tailgate, at the top ends, there should be a small lever. You can flip them one at a time and it will un latch the tailgate!
when my 89 mighty max did this I had to push the tailgate in while I opened the handle. Once open adjust or graphite the connections
a tailgate shell is the rear door of a pickup cargo bed.
yes it is legal to drive your truck in Texas with the tailgate down.
It resides just past the catalytic converter. Underneath the truck about where the passenger would sit.
a pickup and a truck are the same thing hence the term pickup truck a pickup can be a truck but a truck doesn't have to be a pickup.
If you look where the handle goes you will see 2 rods. Just squezz them together. Are use a screewdriver to pry them towards each other.
The tailgate on a 2004 Dodge Ram pickup can be removed by removing the gate from the hinges holding it in place. Open the tailgate halfway and remove the slotted hinge from each side while holding the gate up. Then open the tailgate all the way and slide the tailgate off.
I live in Mississippi and have a net across the rear of my bed and have taken my tailgate off... less weight to haul! Never had a problem! Been through random roadblocks and routine traffic stops... No Problemo!
Yes.
