Is the height of the tailgate for a 6.5 ft bed the same as the 5.5 ft bed? I have a 2004 supercrew with a 5.5 ft bed and I need to replace the tailgate. I have the option to by one online from a 2006 with a 6.5 ft bed. Are they the same height? I thought the 5.5 ft bed might be taller to give it the extra extension room when it is in the down position. Does anyone know?

 

I'm pretty sure they are the same, as long as your not talking at flareside tailgate. Those too are a 6.5' bed.
