I almost always have a trailer with me and I could not use the lift gate with out unhitching it every time. And the trailer has 2X the room of the bed and ramps for a dolly, so I think I am better off with what I have, but I want it, just cus I want it.

Well, It would work with a receiver hitch, but I really like the one I have know.

That is actually why I bought the truck.
I liked the idea of having it.
But now that I have it, I don't see a purpose for it!
'Cept being able to say I have a tommy gate!

Yeah... my mind wasn't in the proper place at the proper time.
I was having lots of bearings with one part of my Topaz, so I started looking, found this for 750, sold the topaz after the bearings went out again, then sold it for scrap. Got laid off from work, and purchased the gas guzzler haha!

that is funny, I got my truck for 750!
Then the next day I found out that scrap prices hit an all time low.
I went from makeing $300 a day to $25 a day spending $40 on gas.
Know I am back to about $120 a day. Still low on cash cus I took so much out of savings for the last year, but let me tell you, when you can do it, put as much as you can away for a rainy day. It is so great to have that to fall back on!
