4 Tailgate Fails

Truck tailgates are simple and straightforward parts even a caveman could use. They rarely fail, too. But when someone fails to use a tailgate properly, or when a tailgate fails, it can be pretty funny. If you're looking for some laughs, check out these epic tailgate fails:

Who needs a tailgate handle when you've got a dirt bike and a makeshift ramp?

2. Tailgate With A Built-In Rack

Need a built-in rack for your lumber, poles, logs, etc.? You can get one without bringing your truck to a shop! It's as easy as 1, 2, 3:

  1. Find a pole outside.
  2. Park in front of the pole and then open the tailgate.
  3. Put the truck in reverse and then hit the gas.

Ta-da! Now you've got a custom tailgate. Results may vary, though.

3. Hanging On For Dear Life

How is this tailgate flopping around without falling off? What's holding it onto the truck? How did it break off? We have so many questions.

4. Second Trip? What's That?

To be fair, this isn't a tailgate fail... yet. We wonder how long the tailgate cables lasted after this photo was snapped (pun intended).
