- 2). Unhook the tailgate straps from the side of the bed by pulling the tab open and unhooking the strap. You must support the tailgate at this point; otherwise it will fall and could get damaged.
- 3). Lift up the tailgate, and put it at a 45-degree angle to the bed.
- 4). Lift up on the right side of the tailgate to free it from the latch. Then pull out toward the right side to release the tailgate from the driver's side latch, supporting the tailgate with your thigh or arms, depending on your strength.
