I just read where Big Blue is recalling all Rangers for "STD" injuries , "STD " or "Sudden Tailgate Drop" has been widely critized since it became known that this is EASILY remedied by the addition of a "dampining " device , other manufacturers have embraced this technology while Ford has resisted , until now . This Day, Friday ....April.....

I wanted to take this "next level" so I had it all typed up "semi redneck " technical , but knew I had no credibility here (rightfully so) so I got a brainstorm ! If this came from P .A . as some "inside info " this place would lose it ! So I spend hours typing this and a giant letter of admiration to MR PA , to see if he wants to be part of the "Greatest Damper Specific April Fools Joke" in the history of this forum! and im all excited and I hit "start conversation" and .... "Oops ! Your not allowed to start a conversation with PA"... Damn it !!!

the only injury caused by not having a tailgate damper is the trampling from the ladies who rush to see a real man in action, lifting and lowering his tailgate without assistance, and putting actual lumber into it, not just a bag of fresh veggies, Kale and gluten free croissants.
I experience exactly this. The struggle is real.
