Installation Tips for 2011-2016 Super Duty Tailgate

Replacing the tailgate is straightforward and DIY-friendly:

•  Remove the old tailgate by disconnecting cables, removing hinge bolts (usually 13mm or 15mm), and lifting off.

•  For Platinum models, carefully transfer the tailgate applique/trim panel (remove Ford badge first, then screws behind it).

•  Reinstall in reverse order; align properly to avoid sagging.

•  Time: 30–60 minutes with basic tools.

•  Pro tip: Check for integrated step compatibility — many red replacements include the step hole.
