Happened again yesterday. My only guess is if I hit a couple of good bumps in the road it is forcing the tailgate step to unlock cause I can see it raised slightly from my rear view mirror. I go back to lift it and it lifts without pressing the button. I lift it slightly and drop it to make sure it locks. This is a real PITA!

Thanks Brittany. Haven't brought it in yet. It's a 2015 King Ranch with 600 miles. I PM'd you the VIN.

Hasn't anyone with the new truck looked in their rear view mirror only to notice the tailgate step is ajar? Seems to be happening every day for me...
Only thing I could think of is hitting bumps but that kinda ridiculous.

I would try the dealer. That's not normal the latch must be worn or broken.

Brittany suggested to you last week to have the dealer check it out. What did they say when you took it in?
