My older truck is way easier. Just turn on Tow/Haul when towing or with a fully loaded truck. It increases RPMs before shifting and when going downhill and tap the brakes the truck downshifts to prevent runaway. All I watch for is that the RPMS down go too high but the truck definitely whines to keep the speed manageable. This is one way I avoid going faster than 65 mph since I have only have STs on my rig.
Not sure how the tailgate discussion came about but I bought an aftermarket locking bolt to prevent theft. It was quite a task to get it installed until I finished and THEN it all made sense. The hardest part was finding the wire that controlled the unlock. I found the particular color coded wire under the passenger side entry door jamb cover. I don't remember the vendor, but the feature is described in my signature part about my truck..
