Tailgate Auto Down Button

I was hooking up to my tow behind trailer and bumped the auto down button for the tailgate with my knee.

Luckily nothing hit, but this button is in a bad spot.
Should be swapped with something at the top of the dash.
Or next to the button for the rear window.

Hopefully Ford reads this forum and relays the info to the design engineers to change in the future.

Most people who have this problem just unplug it on the back side.

Not the point.
Just shows that the designers actually don't use their product.
Happens all the time.

AND the button on remote is right next to the remote start button, both you have to hit 2x, cant tell you how many times i came out to my truck not running with the tailgate down..
It should be a safety option that the buttons are disabled if the backup sensors are activated
