Funny thing....my truck arrived from Florida to So Cal last night with no tailgate step.

Pics from dealer website shows a tailgate step as well as the window sticker.

Is there a partial Vin number anywhere on the tailgate I can match up?

Seems like I got someone else's tailgate??

congrats on the truck, sounds like the dealer did a switcheroo on you. maybe you can complain to them to see if they can get you a new tailgate. what part of so cal are you from?

Without that dance pole, you will have trouble getting all the yound gals up there to dance the night away.

Welcome to FRF, great forum for sure! Nice looking Raptor and congrats on the new rig. I too recently picked up a new 2018 and am really enjoying it! I'd definitely f/u on the missing TGstep, do the VIN numbers between the window sticker and truck match up? Something is off there....

Not thinking the dealer will send you a new tailgate, but perhaps you could get a refund in the amount of the step? FWIW, I've had the TGstep on my last 4 SCREWs and it is nice to have!

Yeah it isn't hard to switch the tailgates, I'm thinking they swapped gates on you. Did you call them and ask them? This is my first tailgate step and I don't user it much but when I do, it makes getting in and out a hell of a lot easier. No I wouldn't want a refund, I would want them to own up to their mistake and send me the new tailgate and for them to pay for shipping to get their other gate back. And welcome I'm in Riverside county.

Welcome to FRF.

Update: the dealer in Florida coughed up the switching of the tailgates.

They are going to either buy me a whole new tailgate or pay for the retrofit.

Whatever it takes. Hopefully my paint will match.

Anybody know how consistent Ford is with their colors?
