I am not sure how much new but the cheapest one listed on the junkyard site is $400 with most of then between 500-600.

You probably know this but just in case, you will need to change the tailgate hanger on the lower left in order to mount it. It is just held in place with two torx bits.

I picked up one exactly like that for $150 just a few weeks ago. Same deal, company takeoff for utility bed. Only this company had 15 of them, so probably why they were priced so low.

you can do better....300 is the MOST i would pay. depending on how patient you are and your need for a new gate, you might want to wait.

I just got a 2011 tailgate with one small scratch on it for $190, flexfuel emblem included

I just had to get a new drivers side hinge and a new handle for it, the rest of the parts (connecting rods, latches, cover plate) swapped right over no problem.

also consider the price you can sell your current tailgate for
