I asked at my local dealership, and no one there could come up with an answer ..... sales, service, etc. I should write a letter to Ford.

Maybe Ford does not want to stick their neck out on this one ....... I've found those cables rusted away inside the sheath.

I regularly drive a 650 pound atv up a ramp onto the truck, and I'm a good 200 pounds. Though, the entire weight is never on the tailgate alone.
