As power tailgates go the one hung on the back of our long-term Ford Flex is a quiet and smooth as I've seen. Sure it's a little slow, but the fact that it doesn't slam and the absence of a nasal whine from its electric motors is worth an extra second or so.

I see someone is making nice after yesterday's back and forth.
I agree, that is a bit slow but the smoothness is impressive. That will no doubt help with longevity.
