Hi RD16

Since this is along the bottom edge of the tailgate, my camera will not accommodate...so here is a picture of the bottom of the tailgate above the bumper of the puzzle lock bolt of the tailgate locking bracket. Short of taking the whole thing apart, I can't do any better....Sigh!

Thank you! I didn't realize it was along the bottom. I thought it was installed on the outside part where the two larger torx screws are. I like that you can't see it. Went ahead and ordered. Cheers!

Hi Folks,

I put my Ranger to work today. My neighbors on the street below us had their shared mailbox pedestal creamed by new neighbors not knowing how to drive a big U-Haul truck. Knocked the pedestal back on about a 20° angle from vertical. So my Ranger and my come-along headed down to help straighten out this mess. One neighbor had to replace their street side mailbox as it was smashed. the downstream mail box was okay but the little red flag was knocked off the side of the box...easy fix. So I hooked my come-along to the pedestal post and the other end to my trusty front tow hooks...got the angle of the dangle so to speak and cranked on the come-along and pulled the pedestal back to vertical. Took all of abut 15 minutes, but ended up with a crowd of neighbors around us to watch the project. Ranger got a lot of positive comments about what a beautiful truck it was. Even got a beer for Beer:30 cocktails on the patio for later today! :)

Best,

That stinks for the new neighbor, what an embarrassing way to introduce yourself to the neighborhood.

Looks good!

I wish I could wash my truck but it would be futile right now. We are about halfway through pollen season so it would be coated again in less than an hour. I've lived here 12 years now and am amazed every year. I've never seen anything like it until we moved here.

Picked mine up from the dealership after being broke down for 5 months today. ☹? Drove it straight to Line-x and had their Platinum topcoat sprayed.

Can you still remove the rubber plugs ? I am not sure if they would ever need to be removed anyway?

What was wrong that it took months to repair?
Once it got below 40 degrees outside it wouldn't start. I'd hit the button and get 5 or 6 different error messages on the dash like service steering, ABS fault, park aid malfunction ect.
First thing my dealership tried was a new body control module. No luck. After spending the next 6 weeks or so diagnosing back and forth with Ford they decided the main wiring harness behind the dash was bad.
I believe this was in early December when they ordered it and found out it was on backorder. I don't get how Ford can leave a customer high and dry for months without their vehicle. What's so hard about grabbing one off of the assembly line?
