Anyone have good or bad experiences with a particular brand? These go over the right side slotted tailgate hinge.
I’m looking at the McGard one, plastic housing covering a hose worm clamp with special key driver, and
Masterlock, stainless steel housing with a (plastic?) keyed ratchet.

 

i personally would not worry about it, the tailgate does lock with the doors

 

they're all functionally the same, I bought the McGard it works, cheap and an easy install

 

I've always just used a good hose clamp.

 

I just press the lock button.

 

Mine has an ugly dent and I have insurance.

 

 

McGard here. Because a tail gate is a terrible thing to waste.

Sabellcos tailgate locks seem to have pretty good reviews. I haven't purchased one yet but I plan on it in the near future.

They're definitely pricier than other options though.

 

I just use a hose clamp for a little extra security, otherwise as others have said, it does lock and there is insurance.
