Power Tailgate: Interior Tailgate Release Button

Are there specific conditions under which the tailgate release button functions (on a 2024 Larait Ultimate Package) ? Does the vehicle have to be in park, can it be running, etc...

I can really only get it to open with a double-press when the truck is turned off.

Truck stopped, in park, running is OK. And as long as nothing is in the way of the sensors.
I haven't got my F350 yet, but that's how it works on my 2022 F150 Lariat. Never had an issue.

^^^^ This. The went to double push and this because there were several cases where tailgate would open unexpectedly. On my 2017 F-350 the tailgate opened unexpectedly and damaged my 5th wheel RV in a turn

Make sure the doors are unlocked and the truck is in park. It does not seem to matter if truck is running or not. I have also found out it will work after I open the door and double press as I am getting out.
I didn't think I would use this feature so much but the tailgate opens so slow it save some of the waiting for it to fully open

did you find a fix? Should open when running and in park and the door closed.
