My 2025 Active Expedition has a Setting under the Settings Menu to A) Open the Upper Lift Gate ONLY or B) Open BOTH Upper and Lower Gates. I keep setting mine to "Open Upper Liftgate Only", but it still resorts to opening BOTH upper & lower gates... I've tried Saving Profile settings, but the liftgate is not part of the profile settings for either remote. So, my question is, how do I set my liftgate settings in the menu to ONLY OPEN THE UPPER LIFTGATE WITH THE REMOTE, and actually KEEP this setting?IMG_3416.JPG

It is as if they don't test each and every feature before releasing the vehicle.

There was a software update roughly a month ago that said it was part 1 of a 2 part update aimed at fixing the issue. The second update hasn't happened...

Can have the lower gate open with the top closed so I can carry lumber home?

Sure, but the top portion won't be latched. Not sure how all of that would work our driving down the road...

mine still opens both even though set for liftgate only. you would think after almost a year after release this would have been fixed.

Similar to the "open on apprach" issue, this may be a 2025 issue...
My '26 works as advertised: remote only opens the top half of the gate when that option is toggled.

Point being: there is software "out there" that works.
