[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 794308, member: 52972"] Coastiejoe is correct. The tailgate is designed to come off at a certain, partially open angle but only if you lift upward and outward on the tailgate...Which sounds like what you may have done. One of the tricks I did on my two Sport Trac's is to install a stainless steel hose clamp around the passenger-side tailgate pivot. This prevents the tailgate from accidently popping out and makes it more difficult for someone to steal your tailgate which is a common problem if you don't have a locking tailgate like on the Sport Trac. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
