2. You must not hear a lot. People get their tailgates stolen all around this truck country.

3. 50$ deductible is great, but I would rather have a higher one with a lower insurance rate.
2. Maybe it just doesn't happen here in Austin or where I live in Round Rock.

3. The $50 deductible was like $40 more than the $1,000 deductible per year. I have very low insurance rates, so it's worth it.

2.1. It does not happen here either, but it does in Jersey and Florida.

3.1 I thought I had low rates. Very nice.

Sure, insurance covers it but how long do you think it will take you to get a new painted tailgate? (New model year and painted = a loooong time)

I had my 3 gen tailgate stolen in a parking lot : not fun

It took forever to get a new one (backordered) , and then have the dealer paint it & install the emblems

I got the new tailgate the night before I left for a fishing trip (took 5 weeks!!!)

The hose clamp is a GREAT idea
