Go oem, it'll be worth it in the long run.

How so?

I never saw it but I heard someone did a study and tailgate nets didn't increase mileage. Especially if you have a bed cover. Anybody know the details?

I think using cheap knock off parts on a Raptor will hurt the value of the vehicle, but at the end of the day he can use Amazon piece.

I seriously doubt an aftermarket tailgate appliqué affects the value much if at all lmao

@HK92 If your tailgate is black, has the camera and trailer light, Ill trade you my 2018 tailgate w/ applique. Id rather have the "F150" tailgate

Has anyone here purchased a new tailgate with appliqué from Ford and swapped it out themselves? This is the route I’m planning to go

Look on Ebay. I just ordered a used applique and there is a vendor on ebay that sells painted oem applique tailgates.

im so glad my truck has it.. i looked at a silver one without the applique and it just felt like a work truck from the back. Like the grille, its signature raptor and really shouldn't have been left off of any of them...
