Ford Tailgate Latch

If you own Ford and want to keep it in top shape, choosing OEM Tailgate Latch is a smart move. They are precisely engineered and follow strict factory standards. They are made in advanced facilities that use cutting edge technology. Each part goes through thorough testing to confirm strength and safety, so you can trust it. FordPartsDeal.com gives you genuine Ford Tailgate Latch at some of the affordable online prices without cutting quality. Every OEM Ford part includes the manufacturer's warranty, easy returns, and super-fast delivery. So why wait? Shop now and get your vehicle back to peak condition.

Ford Tailgate Latch secures the bed gate securely so that the cargo remains intact at each mile. Ford had started with a daring purpose of delivering cars to ordinary people in 1903, and the moving assembly line actualized that purpose. Ford decreased the time of building, reduced the cost, and demonstrated to the world that smart process is more important than fancy talk. Ford continued to push the button, introducing EcoBoost engines that squeeze large on little gas and reduce the pain at the pump. Ford also connected cabins with SYNC enabling the drivers to bark a song request or map route without raising a hand. The company supports that freedom with Co-Pilot360 that merits the brakes or nips drift before trouble sleeps. The carmaker looks into the future as well, cranking up the zero-emission F-150 Lightning to demonstrate that muscle and clean air can be in the same truck. Tailgate Latch has weatherproof metals and designed pivot geometry to fasten shut and rattle loose in one tug even after years of grocery shopping, freezing nights, or after mud baths. Tailgate Latch prevents the prying hands of either side, preventing the bouncing out of whatever you are hauling on the washboard roads or city potholes. Tailgate Latch can be replaced in minutes and will save time and temper when the old catch finally gives up. Its steel hinge pins shake off rust, and the internal spring operates against fatigue such that the tailgate opens easily season after season regardless of road salt.
