While I don't love the idea of a swing-gate, I agree it is the most likely option. If Ford would offer a tailgate option with either spare tire delete or a swing-away tire carrier that was robust enough to handle a 35", I would consider it if it was affordable. There are popular aftermarket bumper options for the EB that offer this (instead of overstressing the rear quarter panel), but they are fairly expensive unless you're opting for a rear bumper upgrade in the bargain to begin with. I'll have to wait and see what configurations are available and adapt from there. Removing the top/doors/gate for summer should be a fine option if possible.

I'd like swing gate that also functions like a tailgate. Like the Ridgeline. Or old wagons.

But I'm not picky. This isn't a make or break feature for me.

I could deal with a swing gate, but would prefer a drop gate. But if I have to swing a wheel out before dropping the gate it defeats much of the purpose and might as well be a single swing gate.

What about tailgate with a slightly smaller swinggate built into it:

1) Allows rolldown window
2) Allows quicker rear entry to put groceries in than a simple tailgate
3) Lets you fold out a big platform using the gate after tailgate is down :)
