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

    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.

    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.

    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
