Thanks Sean, I'll have to sharpen up my shooting skills,some one has been stealing cat converters around here bad new for them recycle centers wont take them .
If the pickup makers would finally put a keyless lock (just like the doors) on the tailgates, this problem goes away. Anytime you lock the truck, the tailgate would be locked. They have wires running to all of the tailgates now for backup cameras, so it would be very easy to run a tire back there to actuate the lock.
It's too late for this on our trucks, but there is no reason that it shouldn't be standard on the new ones (going back as far as 2008, actually).
I'll agree with that, with all the fancy cameras and assisted opening and steps and crap they build into tailgates now, they're practically a 5th door and should get some kind of electronic lock.
