Hi Jerry,

That's cool but I'm not sure what you'll gain.  You still have to reach over 
the tailgate.

My truck is so high that I can barely reach the back window to close it so 
it's not in my way.

For me, not reaching over the tailgate would be the best. I wish Ford built 
their pickups like the Expedition where the tail gate opens sideways or down.
