I agree that would cost a fortune to replace if damaged or stolen. I hope all of the different truck companies who think these fancy tailgates are cool, have a way to secure them from being stolen! The average gate is easy to remove in about a minute! I have owned many pickups in my lifetime. Daily drivers that eventually become my farm truck as I go get a newer one. I've never been rear ended, or lost a tailgate to theft.

I asked my GM rep why they started with the multi-flex tailgate and his response was "customers asked for it". The intent was to get closer to the bed of the truck with the tailgate lowered, and have a built-it step. Not sure that Ford really hit the mark on this one or not.
