Does anyone know if the Thule Force XXL will still allow the tailgate to open on a 2010 Chrysler Town and Country?

I measured from the most aft setting of the positioning clamps in the rear and you will need to have about 28 inches from your rear roof rail to the opened position of you tailgate in the open position. It should be doable since your vehicle is one of the most popular minivans out there. The other consideration is the length od this box...it is long so by shifting it forward on your roof to allow for clearance of the tailgate you may have a fair amount of overhang in the front. Just think really big sun visor.

It only works if the tailgate is up and locked. If you want to be more secure, you have to put a hose clamp or a mcguard lock around the right side hinge point. This way they have difficulty removing it in the down position or if you forget to lock it.

the best way to find out is go to Thule website and put in the vehicle you have and they will tell you what is recommended.

Yes, the G2 allows you to open the tailgate. However, when you close the tailgate it is best to release the last panel and raise it 1/2 an inch so the rubber seal won't get pinched.

I don't know. I looked on their web site and I only see it listed 07-13. But I don't see why it wouldn't. Unless the tail gate has changed that much

Yes if you re-use your existing cables connected to the truck that keep the tailgate from opening too far.

Your best bet is to contact Thule direct. I had questions when I ordered mine, and they were very helpful.

If the tailgate is the same as my 2010 Tacoma, then it will fit. Love my Tacoma. Also consider buying the Cruise Control stalk, face plate, 2 wires and bolts ($100 all in OEM) if your truck is not currently equipped. Works great w/o a computer problem.

Yes. I have a 2010 Trail Teams and it's the same motor. The Mass Air flow sensor fits sort of tight. Just align the holes and tighten a little on each side until it's flush.

I suggest you go directly to the Dee Zee Website and ask them. I found them very friendly and helpful when I installed mine. I would guess it should work as it is a simple design and works great. My tailgate was a little heavier because it had the built-in step ladder and hand grip bar but as soon as you pull the latch to open the gate it would start to open quickly and then a second later it was like you were holding it to slow it down and it works every time.

Don't know what the changes made between models. Go over the instructions and compare to your tailgate setup. MIGHT work. If it doesn't, see if you can exchange it. It DOES work great. I still haven't gotten used to the tailgate not trying to fall on me when I open it.

Yes, it works nice with a locking tailgate (if you want your bed 'secure'). There are two "quick release" latches in the back of the tonno cover that need the tailgate open to access. The cover is not knife proof however ;)

It is not designed to open from either end. It has a quick release only on one end. It must be at the tailgate end to work properly.

Yes, locking the tailgate will prevent the cover from being opened. I got this tonneu to secure items in the bed, but still be able to haul large items. This cover has been great by keeping things dry and safe.

It will look great however my concern is your rear lift gate opening. Check thule website to see if you'll clear the carrier. Otherwise it's somewhat expensive but worth it. I've driven 80 miles per hour and it is quiet as can be.

I did see a youtube video where the Thule 916XT T2 does allow you to pivot the rack down to open the tail gate, with bikes mounted. You will pay for that feature though, dearly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQB4lUtpAAg
