Default Tailgate Bandito's
Recently there have been a lot of tailgate thefts in my area, people just unhooking the tailgates and stealing them. Is there a lock to replace the existing tailgate handle? Thanks.

This is the bully tailgate handle lock... I am looking at getting this because it looks factory. Hope this helps

I have the pop n lock one on my truck. It works very easily and it does not stand out. So far I like it.

Do they have one that can be unlocked by the stock remote. The 06's+ have the key and remote in one and I would like to just keep that single key.

I like that!!

But I have one question... I have an aftermarket python remote start/keyless entry system, would it work with that?


Thanks,
Shane

I have a python alarm as well, also debating the power tailgate lock. It's just wired to your power door locks so I dont see why it would not be compatible with it.
