first one is always the worst, now you can wheel it and not worry about pinstripes or other scratches.

At least it wasn't a huge pinstripe down side the like I did with my Tacoma. I had only had it for a couple weeks and went off roading with a friend who took me down a tight scrubby trail. Once you're committed there's no turning back.

Yep the first one hurts. Will get some touch up paint be almost good as new. At least there wasn't any dent in the panel.

Are you one of those guys that hangs your bike over the tailgate?

Nope. I have a hitch mount for my bikes. I usually always put my wife's bike on first. This time I forgot and put mine on first. My one brake lever rubbed against the tailgate. Didn't pay attention to it when I first loaded it on. Stopped for a break and checked the bikes and found it. Oh well, life goes on!

The other day I hooked up my trailer for the first time and it did not lock down on the hitch ball.

When I got to the end of my road and turned on the main highway the trailer came loose and only the safety chains saved it from flying down the road.

I thought everything was ok, but I later found out that I had scratched the bottom of my rear bumper.

Had to buy some magnetic gray touch up paint. Luckily it worked and you can’t see it unless you really look hard.

Oh well it is a truck!

Man you got lucky there! At least the trailer didn't lift up and ram into your tailgate.

Thought maybe this was somebody who realized they 'd done the damper thing and then I saw it was a tailgate ding, just knew it was going to be caused by gate dropping to slow while whatever was coming off bed too fast...

Shucks, a good story lost!!!

Could even put a thin strip of flat black vinyl on that ridge all the way across and you wouldnt know it was vinyl unless you were right up on it. ?‍

You are right.

Luckily the trailer was empty!
