I pick up my Fleet in less than a month and have planned to remove the tailgate, but have also considered getting a hitch storage platform, which I believe would be at a level several inches below the where the tailgate attaches. Some of theses have low sides: a few inches. My untested idea was that it might help with entry to the camper, or be a kind of porch, as well as help store quickly off-loaded gear (firewood) if I either modified it or added a piece of filler plywood that raised the bottom level with the sides. In some situations I can see it being a nuisance, lengthing the truck, blocking the door etc. All speculation now.
