does anyone know if you could put the new tailgate off of a 08 on a 05

 

probably could, but why?

 

i like the pull down step and handle

 

...

 

I think I would like that too, but I thought that was only on the superduty

 

Thats what I thought.

 

Doh!

 

 

yah thats an 08 SD feature.

I know the new SD lights fit on the old SD trucks

 

Our bed rails are higher, so no it won't fit, you lazy bum.

 

The '08 Super Duty's have the tailgate with the step and that old-man looking cane. Won't fit on an F-150, completely different body.

 

What's that?

 

he's talking about this feature on the new Super Dutys. The cap of the tail gate slides out forming a step and a handle built into the gate pops up to assist getting up and down.



I like the collapsible gate extender and would like to see it in the next F150.

To the original poster. Since it is not possible to adapt the F250 tailgate to the F150 maybe this could be a solution. Its made by Amp Research.



Its manually operated with your foot, made from aluminum, and can handle 300lbs.
