Ford needs to fix the inadvertent tailgate release before adding another switch.
Fordgate started another thread back in January.

The one thing I would like to have is a completely hands free release, stand behind it with key in pocket, kick under it the correct way, and it lowers...that would be nice for when my hands are full of crap I don't want to set down (like, bags of dog food and the ground is wet for example)

Is there not an inside button to remotely release the tailgate? I have the remote tailgate release option, but the only way I have found to use it is to use the key FOB. With keyless entry and engine start, I can't believe you have to dig out the key FOB to remotely release the tailgate. Every SUV or car I have bought in the last 10 years has a BUTTON inside the car to do this. With the greatly increased curbside pickup options due to COVID, it is inefficient to require the use of the key FOB - just for that!
Not sure why you received such a negative response on here, too many jokers and old people set in their ways I guess. That's the beauty of these forums, everyone feels the need to voice their opinion--but not everyone should.

You can wire it to any switch like this guy: https://www.f150forum.com/f118/auto-...8/#post5867819
I decided to actually wire it into my auto start/stop button since I'm tuned and have no other use for it anymore: https://www.f150forum.com/f118/tailg...3/#post6604641
