New 09 Crew Lariat But lacking rear step and camera. Can i add them?
Hey guys, My dad picked up his 09 Lariat 2 weeks ago. It didn't come with the rear step or backup camera, my dad wanted the 2 options but they had the truck on our friends ford lot and my dad didn't feel like ordering one so we took it. Now he realizes he should have ordered them and wants to add them on. Does anybody know where i can get a blk 09 tail gate with the step and camera built in as well as a mirror with the screen in it for the camera?
I know there are aftermarket options out there but we want the oem items.

Lee if you want the Ford OEM stuff, you would have to order them through a Ford dealer. Getting the tailgate with the integrated step is probably easy to order (you may have to have it painted though) but adding the rear view OEM camara might be a bit more difficult. Does your dad's truck have the nav system or would you be using the rear view mirror/monitor option?

when i bought my 04 FX4 i left out some options that i thought i wouldn't need or like, but after owning the 04 for about a month i was kicking myself for not getting them. this is why with my 09 FX4 i got loaded to the nuts i didn't want the buyers remorse again.
adding the steps will be easy but prolly expensive, and adding the back up cam like jac said can be done but expensive. your best bet might be a aftermarket solution.

Get an Amp Research Bedstep. I actually opted not to get the ford step b/c I planned to get this one from the start. The Ford step is nice but I like the idea of being able to have a step with the tailgate up and be able to drop with with my foot when my hands are full. I also got a short bed so I couldnt get the side steps that have basically the same function I just mentioned.
My FX4 is fully loaded w/ 17" wheels except for bedstep, sidesteps, and stowable extender. I am getting Amp Research power steps and bedtep, 2" Level, and Dualliner when it gets here in May. Still deciding on what tire I want to swap. Probably end up riding on factory till they wear out.

i installed the camera in my 08 after i bought it. i bought all parts at Tasca Ford Parts and it cost just under $900. if you bought the parts at the dealer, would have been closer to $1800. Mirror alone list for $800. i only had to make one short harness and mine works like it came on it.

I done the same thing. I heard that a replacement tailgate with step for a platinum is over $2000. Thats not includeing the cam.
