My Monty came from the factory with the MOR/ryde RPB72-1716. I have a long bed truck and have no difficulty hitching up with the tail gate down. With the tailgate closed, I can also open the front storage area door about half way, until it is too close to the paint on the tailgate. I also learned quite by accident one day that I could tow and turn with the tailgate down. When I finally saw that I had forgotten to close the tailgate, I almost didn't want to get out and look at the front of the Monty but all was OK. Someone was looking out for me that day.
