Abstract
A tag axle latching mechanism for a tailgate-mounted tag axle system includes opposed matching engaging components attached to a tag axle system and to a truck frame for directing supporting forces associated with the tag axle system, as deployed, through the truck frame. The tag axle system is suspended from a tailgate such that the engaging components self-align as the tailgate is operated between closed, lowered and raised, open, positions. Mechanized locking devices lock the engaged components in place.
