Utility; Easy-Off Tailgate - Dodge RAM 2010 User Manual

EASY-OFF TAILGATE

• To simplify mounting of a camper unit
with an overhang, the tailgate can be
removed.
NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with
a rear camera the electrical connector
must be disconnected prior to removing
the tailgate.
Removing the Tailgate
• Disconnect the wiring harness for the
rear camera (if equipped).
• Unlatch the tailgate and remove the
support cables by releasing the lock
tang from the pivot.
• Raise the right side of the tailgate
until the right side pivot clears the
hanger bracket.
• Slide the entire tailgate to the right to
free the left side pivot.
• Remove the tailgate from the vehicle.
NOTE: Do not carry the tailgate loose in
the truck pickup box.
WARNING!
To avoid inhaling carbon monoxide,
which is deadly, the exhaust system
on vehicles equipped with "Cap or
Slide-In Campers" should extend
beyond the overhanging camper
compartment and be free of leaks.
Locking Tailgate
The lock is located next to the tailgate
handle. The tailgate can be locked using
the vehicle key.
