If you're having trouble opening your 2019 Ram 1500 tailgate, it could be because the tailgate is locked, which is a new feature on the latest Ram truck models. If unlocking it doesn't work, the issue may be with the latch getting stuck. Try pulling the handle and pushing the tailgate forward to release the latch. If that doesn't work, you might need to take apart the handle and latch to release it. If you're experiencing problems with your truck's tailgate latch, I suggest visiting a Ram dealership while your truck is still under warranty so they can fix it at no cost. It may just need a simple adjustment.
