Do you have to order it from a certain Ford site/dealer? I typed the specific product # in from your post to ford parts site and got "product not found"

https://accessories.ford.com/
Add your make and model. Click “cargo products”, its at the bottom of the first page. You can choose a local dealer in your area to purchase. I also have one ordered at “my” dealership if you want to avoid all that. Think their available anywhere now.

Edit: Hmm its gone down to $45.00 now.

Dealer said it ordered on “Vendor Ship”.

Dealer said it ordered on “Vendor Ship”.

This means that it's shipped directly from the manufacturer and doesn't go through any Ford PDCs. Which also means there's really no way of tracking the item in transit. Usually it takes direct ship parts 7-10 business days for the order to be processed, shipped, and delivered.

Thanks. Just happy it’s coming.

Got confirmation of my Order of 22 October from Ford Accessories. Said my Dealer will notify me when it arrives. Saved $5.00 by Using the Local Dealer pricing when ordering on Ford Accessories website.

Guys, I received the following email from my Ford dealer in DE yesterday, which suggests that we will not be dampering our tailgates anytime soon:

I have good news and bad news. The good news is the leveling kit arrived! Please call John Iannarella to arrange installation. His phone number is 302-999-0261 x 1129. The bad news is the Bed Tailgate Viscous Dampering Cartridge is on order and I am waiting for shipment confirmation.

The Good News is there’s a Damper “On Order”! That means we WILL be dampening our tailgates!

Hey, maybe sooner than we thought! I just got a more precise response on the damper today from the Parts guru at my Delaware Ford dealer:

"The Bed Tailgate Viscous Dampering Cartridge is scheduled to ship out on 11/5."

That confirms earlier reports that the part was going to be available starting 11/4/19!

Hope there's not a big backorder list! Might have it installed by Thanksgiving!

That’s right! Santa will be coming to your town early.

Has anyone looked at the lower bolt on the tailgate hinge? It looks like it’s going to be a Biatch to get to if we have to mount everything inside the taillight. Maybe it’ll just mount on the outside.

LOOK What I Received from my Local Dealer!!!!

This is the DAMPER I Ordered!
