Tailgate Questions
Just replaced my recently stolen tailgate. Does anyone have the dimensions for the King Ranch emblem location for a 2015? TIA
Also, has anyone figured out a way to tie the tailgate into the alarm system (similar to the way the hood is? I'm guessing that you could possibly tap into the wiring under the hood and add a switch/contact at the tailgate...Also how would this interfere with engine immobilizer, etc?

As for the alarm, there is very little clearance for a contact switch install, and then how would you run the wiring inside the double-walled bed?

Get the tailgate locking device that clamps around the release pivot. It makes it a PITA to remove the tailgate. Thieves will move on if it takes any work other than simply undoing the cables and lowering the gate.Form what understand they are quite secure. I haven't installed one yet as I've yet to purchase a lift gate. I keep the current gate locked. McGard, Master makes them.
