If the truck is locked the tailgate will also be locked. Do the doors open?

If it's a higher trim truck with release, push the tailgate in at the same time while releasing. Then check your rubber bump stops and make sure they are facing the correct way. They will bind the tailgate and cause a no release.

At the very least you should get the lock release when a button is pushed.
