Reading all these reviews you would think that only men drive trucks. Well, I am a proud “Truck Girl” who lives in Montana and can probably shoot better than most of the guys on this site. Anyway, I am hunting in the woods a lot and use this gate all the time. I have an electric winch in the truck at the base of the cab. When I need to load I attach a cable to the kill and easily drag it up the extension into the truck. As my ex used to say “every job has a proper tool” He was a tool himself (yes my EX!!) but he was right with that comment. Anyway, a great tailgate to have. It IS a great tool – Sarah Rollins
