Hi all,
I have a 2011 Silverado 1500 quad cab with the 5.5 bed. I have a FWC Hawk on order. I got a call today to setup the installation (1/22). I was a bit surprised that FWC told me that I should LEAVE the tailgate on. I was expecting to remove it. The HAWK is 6.5 feet, which leads to about a foot of overhang. Leaving the tail gate on makes the truck that much longer, adds weight and makes it harder to get in and out of the camper.
Any thoughts on this?
