The tailgate on your car or SUV performs a number of functions, both aesthetic and mechanical. Primarily the tailgate is there to allow easy access to the load bed. It can take a few knocks and scrapes during its busy working life. The tailgate struts can be damaged over time with the repeated lowering of the tailgate during loading and unloading. Getting replacement parts can be expensive.
Part of the tail gate's weakness is the fact that it is at the rear. Any inattentive driver behind you could fail to brake in time and damage your tailgate - it isn't known as tailgating for nothing. A dented and damaged tailgate, as well as being expensive, can make an otherwise well maintained car look shabby and uncared for. It would also be difficult to open and close it.
Modern tailgates are becoming packed with ever more sensitive and complicated sensors and parts - parking sensors and the like. Damage to these will not be cheap to repair. With more functionality built into the tailgate the more likely there will be breakdown or failure. That is not necessarily an issue if the vehicle is still under warranty, but if not?
