Tailgate lock

My 2018 f250 xlt did not come with a tailgate lock, any suggestions? I'm not sure I want to add an electric one. A manual lock will do just fine.

I thought all these trucks with power door locks have a locking tailgate. Your tailgate doesn't lock when you lock the doors?

If it does, it's not working. I haven't opened up the tailgate yet to see if it has the actuator.
