Can certainly see the practicality for shorter statures but that would be the only real genuine benefit.

Everything else is purely laziness [emoji3][emoji41]

Or gizmo fascination / obsession / must have.

If it could be opened from the key fob,that would be better,then it would be open before one made a run to get underneath it.

But yes,you are 100% correct,another piece of tech for the lazy ones,and something else to fail.[bighmmm][biggrin]

Hhhhhhmmmmmm....

Some people use two different sets of tyres. Maybe we could run two different tailgate operations - one for the Wet and another for the Dry. [wink11]

I have no thought as to why anyone would ADD that to a vehicle that doesnt have it standard.

Just like a electronic handbrake, its quicker to operate it by hand.

Luckily that engineer worked on the Rangie which has auto opening/closing on both sections of the tailgate. How to open Tailgate on Range Rover and Range Rover Tailgate Functions - YouTube
