Those that want two doors 62%.

Jeep Gladiator also has something like that.
The tailgate can be trapped level with two 2X4s fitted on edge into slots in the bed for a bed divider which is also level with one horizontal 2X4 fitted onto pockets on top of the inner fenders thus allowing a deck to be created and 4X8 sheets or other long material to be carried.

The bed divider 2X4s are very handy for keeping material from sliding all over the place and within reach of the tailgate.

Mission critical items like cases of beer.

The Gladiator system is stupid simple. It's just a couple of hooks that shorten the cable. Fits right in with the Slate KISS principal...I can't imagine they would miss that opportunity.
