If I would have made that costly of a mistake when I was on the job, would I still have a job, then again after the tailgate hits the ball hitch there's no need to worry after you do it the second time!!! LOL????????????????????????????

Some times you forget to remove the hitch when your done towing. It then becomes an issue. The tailgate is fine but a safety override that stops the middle from dropping when a hitch is in place would be nice. Or sell a hitch that is designed to reverse under and have clearance from the dropped gate

We should have the convenience of leaving the trailer hitch installed at all times if we choose with out being concerned about damaging our beautiful truck. In addition, it is a deterrent to tailgaters.

It needs to be CLEARLY explained to the purchaser regardless of how many vehicles you’ve purchased from a dealership or salesman. My salesman watched me swap my hitch over and install it from my previous truck. I believe if he’d known it would be an issue - he’s have said something. They should all know and should say something to EVERY purchaser.
I had no idea it would hit and it took me all of two minutes showing the new truck and tailgate off to my family. Moment (and :45-minute into owning tailgate) ruined.

A trailer hitch should only be installed when towing a trailer. It should not be left in the receiver when there is no trailer is attached. I don't see an issue.
