Ram Patents New Tailgate Design
Remember that magical station wagon rear door that could open out and down like a truck tailgate or sideways like a conventional door? Ram does and decided to take a closer look at truck tailgates. Allpar reports that Ram filed a patent on Feb 12, 2013 that shows a two piece tailgate that can be opened in a number of different ways. Just like the multi-link coil spring rear suspension, airbag rear suspension and the Ram Box–Ram continues to lead the pack in innovative new ideas. Find more detail at Allpar.
