Seeking Detailed Tailgate Diagram & Measurements

[BwD]

I am designing a Bronco tailgate accessory. My own model is a 2022 Black Diamond, so I've been able to take very detailed measurements of all the interior slots and recesses. But I'm wondering if those specs would be exactly the same for other trim packages. For instance, I've heard that the Raptor tailgate has different dimensions.

Is there a way for me to obtain measurements for each of the different trim levels? For instance, does Ford make blueprints, diagrams or other schematics available to the public? Relatedly, how will I know if tailgate designs are changing in an upcoming model year?

(I checked the official Ford Bronco Installation Guides posed by @RagnarKon which have great information, but no tailgate interior mounting point information.)

Thanks in advance for any help!

The Raptor is different vehicle, not just different trim package.

Even if you found a drawing, I don't think it'll be detailed enough to design something using it. I believe most vendors have 3D/CAD files that they work off of, but there is probably some hoops/partnership required to get that

The tailgate is the same on all trims with the (possible) exception of Raptor. I doubt the Raptor is different, either, other than the reinforced hinges. I mean, you can install those hinges on a lesser trim if you so choose.

You are correct - the physical tailgate is the same for Raptor and non-Raptor Broncos. The stuff that attaches to it and how it attaches to the actual vehicle is different.
