Auto Parts: Ford F150 Tailgate, pep boys, ase certified technicians


Question
I am selling a Ford F150 tailgate from a 2007 truck.  I was asked if this tailgate would be compatible with an F250.  I was not given a year.  My questions are: on what other year F150 truck(s) and F250 truck(s)would this tailgate be compatible with?  Thank you so much for your help.

Answer
Hi Ashlynn,

Gates for the F150's only fit on the F150's, 04-08 (flairside) and styleside fit the F150 as well as the Mark LT's, but not the heavy-duty Fords.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
