This is a known issue. I had the same problem last year on a trip through the WV mountains. It turns out there is a service bulletin on it, but they will not address it, unless you complain about it. I had taken my truck in for service before leaving on the trip and asked them to check...
I've taken down some of the suggested fixes and will approach my dealer. Part of my frustration is that it never works when I want it to and always seems to work when I don't. I can walk up to the truck with my hands full and stand there waving my foot around like a ***** and nothing happens...
Mine beeps at me too. But it means I have to jump out of the way or just put my hand up and push it back up before it hits my head. Still not satisfactory.
There is a switch in the overhead console that determines whether the tailgate opens all the way or only part way. Part way for shorter people; all the way for taller people. I don't know if that helps or not.
How in the world did you turn that thing off? I've been trying to figure that out. It never works when I want it to, but always seems to close on me when I'm loading/unloading.
I agree. I can never seem to get it to work when I have have my hands full and am trying to trigger it. But it seems to close on me every time I'm trying to load or unload something. I'd just as soon have it off.
