Droptail

JSC Engineering

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.
