Why? Ford's F-150 engineering manager Dawn Piechock said that “What we saw from our customers is that there is a lot of usage on and around the tailgate. In the feedback we received, usability was a key element, and we wanted to help enable pain points and what [customers] were using tailgates for. Many customers used tailgate for projects, whether it construction or DIY, working, helping with community. These improvements made sense compared to a different or more radical tailgate.”

I personally like the fact Ford is keeping it simple. But what about everyone else? Could the 2021+ F-150 benefit from a multifunction approach?

I think the F-150 can benefit for more functionality in the tailgate. Not as nuts as the Ram's barn doors, but kind of what GMC has done with the Sierra.
