ABSTRACT:
A selectively detachable tailgate assembly for a vehicle is disclosed. The tailgate assembly includes a tailgate, a hinge mechanism, and a power assembly. The hinge mechanism connects the tailgate to a portion of a vehicle. A portion of the hinge mechanism may be selectively disassembled to permit the tailgate to be removed from the vehicle. The power assembly is operatively connected to the tailgate to provide power to the tailgate to selectively move the tailgate at least partially between the open and closed positions.
