OEM Powered Tailgate Install
Don't do it. The solenoid that opens the tailgate with the "electronic handle" is a horrible design. Mine failed at 60k miles. I had an extended warranty (dealer provided - another story). It would have cost me $600 at the dealer to repair. I was able to jerk my tailgate open before it completely failed. If I hadn't, I would have had to destroy my locked tonneau cover for the repair.
