tailgate height adjustment

**Tailgate height adjustment** refers to the ability to set or limit how high a vehicle’s tailgate (rear hatch or liftgate) opens. This feature is commonly found on SUVs, crossovers, vans, and vehicles with power liftgates.

It allows the user to:

- **Set a maximum opening height** to prevent the tailgate from hitting low ceilings (e.g., in garages or parking structures).
- **Customize the opening level** for convenience or easier access.
- **Improve accessibility** for shorter users by limiting how high the tailgate rises.

In vehicles with power tailgates, the adjustment is typically made through:
- A button inside the vehicle,
- A setting in the infotainment system, or
- Manually positioning the tailgate and holding the close button to save the height.

In manual tailgates, adjustment may involve repositioning support struts or hinge mechanisms, though this is less common.
