HUGE design flaw - recall...?

Remember the old lap belts, the male end could open one from any angle.

Pretty sure the problem is drinking an IPA instead of a great wheat beer…

I like my beer to pack a value-punch, like my XL Mav

8-9% IPA + empty stomach = 1 beer buzz

Have you provided your VIN and dealer name to the forum's Ford rep so they can check into it on their end?

Hah - I'm gonna be one of those click-bait posters, except I'm not linking to my YouTube video and providing no other thread substance like some a__ posters do.

Just wanted to warn and vent about the tailgate bottle openers - it seems that due to the angle needed to use them to open your bottle of beer, it makes it highly likely to get a bit of spray. Happened on 3 or 4 beers this weekend, a couple of different IPAs. Luckily I had an open beer in my hand to quickly drown my sorrows.
Same beer, same condition, opened with your normal bottle opener and a more level bottle = no spray.

I'm now sadly going to have to think of these as only backup openers, and poor ones at that (as so many other implements could work instead).

Unfortunately one of the best features they included, is a dud [for suds]. My avatar's life is numbered...

WHAT tailgate opener ???????????????????

Nothing like checking a beer on a different end.
