Tailgate

Is the tailgate supposed to open fully with the remote tailgate unlock button? Mine just unlatches...

I always thought 'boot' was more for saloon cars. Is it more of a 'hatch' on an FL2?

I'd agree it's not a boot, but then add nor is it a hatch (Mondeo type).... I 'think' I'm with tailgate Confused

It's true that 'tailgate' is an americanism. I would have said 'back door' but that has different connotations Shocked Not sure I want a button on my remote for that Whistle
I think in hindsight I should have titled the thread 'Hatch'. Anyway, at least my 'back door' is working normally Shocked

I have allways refered to it as tailgate & wasn't aware that was an Americanism as the word "tailgateing" is used by the Police for being too close to the car in front.
On normal car I think both hatchback & tailgate are used in conjunction as boot is for a saloon car. (trunk on a sedan if in the USA). (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.
(Past) RR Evoque Dynamic Lux Si4 In Firenze Red.
(Past) RR Evouque Pure Tech in Barollo Black with bespoke Firenze Red colour coding.
(Present) Freelander Metropolis 2015 MY In Santorini Black with Ivory Premium Leather.

I am with Cerdo I have always called it a boot on all my cars, including hatchbacks & previous Freelander 1

as in "bob the shopping in the boot love" as we say in Yorkshire,

"bob the shopping in the tailgate love" is so wrong What if there were no hypothetical situations?
