This might be here already on this forum? I have a 2005 1500 QC. Is there a tailgate lock other than the pop a Lock that locks the handle? Im looking for something nicer that maybe locks the pivot point itself. Mcgard makes one but not available for a Ram 05

 

Looks nicer? What's there to look at? It's in the tailgate.
I have a Pop and Lock. Fairly easy to install, works great!

I agree; I don't care for the look of the Pop-a-Lock. So, I got the one "Bully" makes. One cannot even see the key-slot unless looking for it. My only gripe is that the Bully is shinery than stock (otherwise, looks OEM), but I'm assuming that will "weather" away after a while. I don't know of any others to recommend.

All the best.

 

Sorry, I forgot about the manual lock. I didn't like them either.
I have the Pop & Lock Power Lock which is great.

 

I had a pace-edwards electric tailgate lock. It install on the inside of the tailgate (easy), run a harness up along the frame and into the cab through the bulkheads under the dash. It j-clips into your power lock wires. Its awesome if you have keyless entry its all tied together.

 

I got the Bully as well. It seems good enough quality and like Avanti says, you almost can't see the key. It just swaps out the old handle. Double check their part numbers, however. The first one I got listed for an 04 and didn't fit. Pep Boys then wouldn't take it back, so I ordered online.
