I've been studying this forum for a while as I consider purchasing a new truck to replace my F150. Today I just realized that I don't know if Dodge Rams have locking tailgates. IF I puchase a new truck I will add a cap and I would have to have means of locking the tailgate. Thanks

There a number of tailgate locks availble for any pick up tail gate. Bully has one that I like for under $30.

 

I put a locker on my 06 for about $40 works great!

 

I was able to find the Bully one at my local Academy Sporting goods store for $11.88 plus tax. Of course that was a clearance price.

I saw some the other day that tie into your power door locks. Unlocks/locks the gate with the doors.

 

The Bully tail gate lock is as good as any manual key lock for tail gates. Easy to install and looks like(should be) OE option. I think I paid $25 for mine.

This is what I use. It ties into and uses the stock remote door lock/unlock button. No messing with trying to use a key on the handle. Acts and looks like the truck came with the automatic tail gate lock.

 

Is $75 a good price for it?
