Ya know, I was looking last night for a fix for this and I found an aftermarket kit that you can install in the tailgate that hooks up to the power locks so you can have your tailgate lock and unlock with the door locks. I think I might just try it out. Wouldn't it be nice to just hit the switch on the door to unlock the tailgate!!!
Do you have a link to what you found? I would like to take a look at that.
BillyBob,
I found it while searching google, don't rememeber where it was but, I just did a quick search on Ebay and found the same thing. Go to Ebay and search "Tailgate Locking System Ford F-150, F-250 & F-350" and it will pop up. It is only about $25 plus $10 to ship on there so for around $35 plus a little labor it is a done deal. Not bad if you ask me.
Oh I crack myself up....ok I found some on eEbay for $75 buy now price, $20 current bid but Reserve not met. I went to www.pace-edwards.com and found a local dealer for $65. Hmmm so much for Ebay.
