  Drivers seeking vehicle versatility will love Lincoln’s new liftgate design, which delivers easier, safer, and more convenient cargo access. Shorter than traditional tailgates, this updated layout simplifies towing setups while creating a premium spot to relax.
What Advantages Does Lincoln’s New Tailgate Design Offer?
Lincoln engineered its new Split Gate to resolve typical SUV pain points regarding heavy, awkward tailgates. Considerably easier to operate, it streamlines loading and unloading for a smoother experience. Drivers can also open the gate hands-free as they approach the vehicle.
Parking on an incline often risks loose cargo rolling out when opening the back. The split-gate design solves this by letting you keep the top portion raised, creating a protective barrier that keeps items securely inside and away from nearby pets or pedestrians.
Tailgating at games, campsites, or trails is elevated with the lower, bench-style height, making it effortless to sit down or let pets hop in and out. The built-in Tailgate Manager controls adjustable backrests and a versatile shelf that functions as a table or snack bar. Built-in lighting improves low-light visibility, while durable carpeting provides natural cushioning and cleaner surfaces—eliminating the need to pack bulky extra chairs or blankets.
