JSC
Engineering Inc. introduces Droptail, an exciting microprocessor
controlled bolt-on system that automatically deploys tailgate
into a spoiler position, for best aerodynamics at drag-inducing
highway speeds, to improve mileage and performance, then closes
before coming to a stop. Alternately, any tailgate operation may
be selectively accomplished via the RF-remote control key fob,
including opening, closing, or locking in any position until such
time as operator unlocks and resumes automatic mode. Verifiable
communication between operator and control module is accomplished
through the use of a remote buzzer. Provisions are made in the
digital logic to prevent unwanted automatic deployment when bed
has cargo that has been loaded through opened gate. Tailgate theft
is prevented, as an RF-remote is required to open the gate and
gain hardware access. Rear backup visibility, particularly desired
when children are present, can be significantly improved by in-cab
manual deployment of gate. The system also enables hands free
access to the cargo bed and eliminates having to lift a heavy
gate.
