Tailgate Theft Protector for 2015-2026 Ford F-150

MPN: CR4467

Tailgate theft takes under a minute, needs no tools, and is expensive to fix. The Tailgate Theft Protector for 2015-2026 Ford F-150 from Cali Raised LED is a vehicle-specific tailgate lock that bolts straight to your tailgate with tamper-resistant security hardware and shuts down the method thieves actually use.

Stop the Lift-Off, Keep Your Tailgate

Here is how tailgate theft works: drop the gate, lift it straight off the hinge, walk away. It is quiet, it is fast, and it does not require a single tool. This protector blocks that lift-off point, so the easiest way to take your tailgate stops being an option.

Laser-Cut 304 Stainless Steel, Left Uncoated On Purpose

Cut from 304 stainless steel, so it stands up to rain, road salt, and trail abuse without rusting out. We leave it uncoated by design. Stainless does not need paint or powder coat to survive, and skipping the finish means there is nothing to chip, scratch, or peel down the road. Made in the USA by Cali Raised LED and backed by our limited lifetime warranty.

Security Bolt and Bit Included

This one mounts directly to the tailgate using a tamper-resistant security bolt, and the bit you need to install it comes in the box. No drilling, no cutting, and about 5 to 10 minutes with basic hand tools.

Fits Every F-150 Trim, Raptor Included

XL, STX, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, Platinum Plus, Limited, Tremor, Raptor, and Raptor R. Your tailgate keeps opening, closing, and latching exactly the way it always has.

Q: Will this fit my 2019 F-150 XLT?
A: Yes. It fits 2015-2026 Ford F-150 in XL, STX, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, Platinum Plus, Limited, Tremor, Raptor, and Raptor R.

Q: Does it fit the Raptor and Raptor R?
A: Yes. The Raptor uses the same tailgate as the rest of the F-150 line, so the protector fits. The Raptor R was introduced for 2023.

Q: What hardware is included?
A: One tamper-resistant security bolt and the bit needed to install it.

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. No drilling or permanent modification.

Q: Will it work with the Pro Access Tailgate?
A: This has not been tested on the Pro Access Tailgate offered on 2024 and newer F-150s. If your truck has one, contact us before ordering.

Q: Will it work with a power tailgate?
A: This has not been tested on power tailgates. If your truck is equipped with one, contact us before ordering.
