Well I went to pick a new sled up a few weeks ago. I put it on the trailer and grabbed a couple ratchet straps out of the box on the truck. I close the tailgate and it starts coming back down. I slam it shut and pull on it, all is good. We run into town for breakfast. Somewhere on the way the tailgate came back down on top of the trailer jack. I noticed after breakfast and was pretty pissed!
I called up my dealer and the service manager said to bring it in for pictures and he'd submit it for warranty work.
Apparently this is the 3rd for 4th 2016 that they've had in this year with the same issue. He said one guy backed up into something while it was down and crunched it in.
FCA gave them the green light, so I had my whole tailgate painted up! I had a nick from something else, so I was happy to have that fixed!
Just wanted to create this thread to see if this has happened to anyone on here, or to let others know it'll be covered under warranty of it happens to you.
This is the tongue jack that did me in. If I hadn't had the Dee Zee tailgate assist, there would be 2 good dents from the jack in my gate!
And for fun, here's what I picked up.
2016 Arctic Cat ZR 9000 Limited. 1056cc 4 stroke turbo. It's got a Turbo Dynamics tune and clutch kit and makes 240 HP on pump 91. It's pretty wild! Lol
