Closing the rear door on my new 6.1 requires a an extraordinary amount of effort. The averrage lady certainly would not manage the task. Has anyone else experienced this ?
Its the pressure increase of the gas.If mine (6.0) has been open for a while in hot weather it is the same. Very heavy to close. I think it's something to do with the viscosity of the hydraulic oil.

As above, but come winter you’ll have the opposite.Closing the rear door on my new 6.1 requires a an extraordinary amount of effort. The averrage lady certainly would not manage the task. Has anyone else experienced this ?
You can always add a few bits in with the chairs. I keep a couple of beach brollies in there in summer.I experienced the same and I'm at the gym 3 times a week!
The dealer showed that standing to the side of the door and closing with one hand was actually easier than when standing directly behind.
I was wondering, is this why so many Cali's have the tailgate bike rack permanently attached and folded? (To add a weight assist when closing)
