FAQ

What's Included
Q: Will this fit my 2012 F-150 FX4?
A: Yes. It fits all 2009-2014 Ford F-150 trims, including XL, STX, XLT, FX2, FX4, SVT Raptor, FX Tremor, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, Harley-Davidson, and Limited.
Q: Does it fit the SVT Raptor?
A: Yes. The Raptor uses the same tailgate as the rest of the F-150 line for these model years, so the protector fits. Note that the SVT Raptor was produced from 2010 through 2014.
Q: It mounts with my truck's existing hardware. What stops someone from unbolting it?
A: Tailgate theft is fast and opportunistic, and it is usually done with cutting tools rather than a socket set. The hardware this protector mounts with is not the hardware that attaches your tailgate to the truck, so someone working quickly is unlikely to have the right tool on them. No security product is absolute, but this pushes the time and effort well past what a grab-and-go theft allows.
Q: What is it made from?
A: Laser-cut 304 stainless steel, made in the USA by Cali Raised LED and backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
Q: Is it painted or coated?
A: No, and that is deliberate. It is left as raw 304 stainless steel. Stainless resists rust on its own, so a coating would only add a finish that can chip, scratch, or peel over time.
Q: How does it stop tailgate theft?
A: Thieves drop the tailgate and lift it off the hinge, which takes seconds and requires no tools. This protector blocks that lift-off point so the method no longer works.
Q: How long does installation take?
A: About 5 to 10 minutes with basic hand tools.
Q: Do I need to drill anything?
A: No. It mounts to the truck bed using hardware that is already on your truck. No drilling, cutting, or permanent modification.
Q: Can I still use my tailgate normally?
A: Yes. The protector does not interfere with opening, closing, or latching your tailgate.
Q: Will it work with a soft close tailgate?
A: This has not been tested on soft close tailgates. If your truck is equipped with one, contact us before ordering.
