Stuck Tailgate
My family has just informed me that the tailgate is sticking (I have been out of town alot lately). I know that the latches need lubricating, however I cannot get it opened. Does anyone know of a trick to open the gate without taking it apart? I tried locking and unlocking.
TIA

It's pretty easy to remove the access panel that covers the linkage inside the tailgate. There are just a few Torx head screws and then panel comes off so you can get at the linkage and inside the latches. Usually with the panel off you can spray down the linkage pivots and latches with some WD40 or similar and free them up.
