Tailgate Electric Lock

Anybody installed the Pace Edwards electric tailgate lock? How's the quality of the wiring harness and servo? Reliability?

Thanks

I have had a PE lock for a few years now without any problems, as far as it working properly.

The only issues I ran into was fitment. I had to trim the mounting plate (thin piece of aluminum) to get it to fit correctly. I also ended up having to put in a filler block to keep the lock from vibrating when I would close the tailgate.

The one for the newer model may be designed better.

Good luck!!

LC, thanks for the feedback.

Anyone, else have experience with the PE Powergate?

I ran one for years on a Ranger. Only problem was if you'd really yank hard on the tailgate, it'd open while being locked.

That is why I had to modify mine and add the filler block. The mounting plate is a thin piece of aluminum and like Newt stated, if you pulled real hard on the handle, the plate would flex and allow the tailgate to open. Once I put the block in, all was fixed.

With yours being a newer model, it might have a better fit than the ones for the Heritage model.
