Keeeeiiiiiittttthhhhh!

That's why my dad always said to never buy the first year of production on a new vehicle. They don't have all the fine details worked out yet. I forgot how to take the tailgate off a 73 but it doesn't come off easily like the newer ones. That could make a difference of wanting to take the tailgate off or take a chance leaving it on. Bummer.
