I was already worried that the ease of removal and resale value of a Raptor tailgate would be very tempted to thieves and then there were a few posts about some other owners getting thier tailgate stolen. So, I ordered a Tailgate Lock from Masterlock.

Best price I found was $13.00 on Amazon.
Amazon.com: Master Lock 8253DAT Tailgate Lock: Automotive

Here is my install vid.

It's more spendy, but I REALLY like/prefer the Power Gate. My tailgate just locks and unlocks with my doors. It's extremely handy for a ton of reasons - one being your tailgate can't get stolen.

Where did you purchase it at and how hard was it to install?

I actually had the dealer do it as part of my purchase. I want to say it was $189. I believe it taps into your tow wiring since that has everything you need.

$13 to buy and 15 seconds to install.
