Swap platinum for lariat tailgate?
Anyone know if I can swap the tailgate off of a platinum for someones lariat, are they otherwise identical?
I haven't seen a lariat up close, but it appears the tailgate is different for where the Ford logo is vs the huge ugly 'platinum' letters on the platinum.
I want to get rid of that fugly platinum text, was originally going to see if I can pop that piece of (photos someone else posted looks simple to popup) and have something fabbed to replace it.. but perhaps someone else wants the platinum bling. Doesn't appear there's a piece to just pop off of a lariat (based on low res photos on fords website).
So, can the entire tailgate just be swapped, i assume there's no difference in a plat vs lariat tailgate other than the bling?

My truck is the tricoat white. Wasn't so much looking for someone to swap with at this step, was just curious if it's possible, or even if there's other ideas to cover that middle section.
The place that did my tint thought maybe pulling it off and dipping it might cover it up, but I don't think the matte look will be awesome with the rest of the truck. They said wrapping it would end up poorly with space under the wrap over the letters.

Well, apparently the Lariat Value package does not give you the step. I asked for the step, but didn't get it. Dealer didn't write anything down and I didn't make him sign anything. But that is the only mishap. But it's a big one, because it will cost me $4,700.00 from Ford parts. Disgusting.
good luck with your tailgate.

Several of the 17 SD's this year at the SEMA convention either had the Platinum piece you are talking about either smoked or painted to match the color of the truck and it looked great both ways. I'll see if I have a pic of one and post it. Might be another option for you.

Here are the pics of the options I was referring to........hope it helps.
I think the color matched looks the best of the two. Looks clean and matches the painted bumpers, etc.
