Tow Hitch Cover removal is easy (DIY). 4-way and 7-way connectors underneath

This video with tape measure shows the tailgate extends to over 8 feet long:

Awesome!

I didn't include the size of the hinge.

How do these compare to the leaked specs before launch?

SPOT ON! But just resharing as they're official and in the truck' owners manual.

I like it because it gives you options. My boat trailer has a 7 way connector but if I need to tow another trailer sometime in the future it’s nice to not need an adapter.

I guess they could have made one proprietary connector and included a set of adapters

I guess. Or just put install one of each plug like they did. Additional adapters could potentially introduce additional points of failure.

what is the bed length with tailgate down? i will often need to haul 4' by 8' plywood sheets, etc. Can you please measure?

The bed is ~73", the tailgate is ~23", so it should fit with only a tiny bit sticking out.

Visual - keep in mind the 8' drywall is only going back as far as the top of slanted rear wall.

Thanks so much for the drywall hauling pic! Looks Great!

I wonder what, if any, meaningful aero penalty there is from running the truck without the hitch cover. I hope it would be negligible. I use the hitch receiver pretty regularly (mostly for bike rack and/or cargo hauler) and can’t imagine wanting to take the cover on and off every time.

You could cut out a hole for the bike rack. You would have to pin it with it loose and then close it up?
