I have been wanting a Putco Tailgate Lightbar since I got mt '21 Ranger. Problem has been that the bumper cover ia bowed closer to tailgate when down on the ends than in the middle so no clearance for lightbar.
I went to my Ford dealer's body shop today. Body shop Asst Mgr said they could heat it and try to straighten it but it might go back to it's current position. I told him it needed to be replaced. He said so you want to buy a new one. I said it was likely covered by the 36/36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. He said "Ah probably, I'll check." So I will wait to see what he finds out and what availability is. Truck has 4,800 miles on it and is only 13 months old.
Normally my dealer treats customers well. There was one time they wanted to charge me over MSRP for a door gasket. I told them what MSRP was and what another dealer was selling the part for. All I wanted was to pay no more than MSRP but they met the other dealers price. The door seal was already installed by them.
We will see what he comes back with.
