Shipped to home. My local dealer can't have accessory orders shipped to them for some reason and the only one I can choose is 30 miles away.

I have it in my cart, but I'm not sure about doing that installation on my own.
I think the installation is straight forward, in fact this video from Motoroso shows how to install a very "similar" product, and it looks easy. And when I say "similar", it looks identical.

I called my dealer and he's trying to get one for me. I'm in AZ so the "weird tax situation" basically prevents me from ordering it myself. See how it goes.

i mean i did that yesterday but. just call your dealer see what they say. He said it was unknown if they had any in the warehouse because it was even hard for him to find inventory in their system. "maybe because it's too new or their system is having issues"

Are most people ordering from the Ford site or the FP site? Maybe one of them ships and the other is ship to dealer only. I want to grab one of these but my credit card bill and prop taxes say I have to wait.

Any guesses on how strong it is? It looks pretty comparable to the Rough Country tailgate reinforcement but the Ford part includes replacing the hinges.

https://www.roughcountry.com/produc...ronco-tailgate-reinforcement-51052c#2921=6651
I'd like to be able to eventually mount a 37" spare and a cooler tray above that.

The Turn Offroad product is much beefier and heavier.

I helped a buddy install it on his First Edition. I'm not convinced that much metal/weight back there is needed for what I want to do but this is only an opinion. I don't have any numbers to back it.

The video makes it look like a fairly easy install. I wonder if you could prop the tailgate up and install one hinge at a time? Maybe lessen the need for any major adjustments.

That is my thinking. I plan to support it from underneath, on a nice soft bed since it's on the tailgate panel edge. I'll have someone hold it so it doesn't fall, while I change out each hinge one at a time. I'll also mark the hinge locations prior to unbolting, since it seems the connections to the body are similar from stock to upgrade. This could avoid all the wiring disconnection the Ford instructions state is needed as well. Realistically, this should go on in less than an hour.

That's an interesting concept. You should video it and post it here. 😊

same boat man. I was about to pull trigger on Turn Offroad's or IAG's and saw this one. Going to run this (if I can get my hands on one) and see how it goes. Less than half the price so... worth a shot.
