new talegate ?

I kinda like the new talegate step option, and was wondering if they are interchangable with the 2005. We are always going up and down and that step would make things easier. Anyone know????

Thanks,

I think thus far the opinion is: yes it will fit, and was around $650 from Ford. There was a post in one of the forums a couple of weeks ago, if you haven't done a search yet. I don't know if anyone has actually done it yet though......

good question as we were thinking the same thing... Also would like that cool gate that folds out of the way (either can extend the bed to include tailgate or fold in to keep stuff up against closed tailgate).

Ford really put some nice winning features on the new trucks, that's for sure...

Do you think it would work with a tonneau cover? I have a Snugtop Tonneau cover and I too was curious if it would fit on my '07.

hmmm might be a trip to the dealer and ask them and maybe do a quick test fit. Local dealer sucks for diesel tech but they do have a good selection of new trucks.

We had to shorten our covers 5/8" to accommodate the thicker tailgate. If anyone needs a part numbers for a Truxedo Lo Profile on the '08 Ford they are 569101 for the short bed and 569601 for the long bed.
