Default Tailgate assist up functionality

Does anyone know what is needed to ad the up functionality to the tailgate assist?
I have the XLT Sport with the tailgate assist but only goes down.
My son's Lariat does both down and up and I'm wondering if this is a feature that can be activated through ForScan, or there is something else involved.
Thanks in advance.

You need the power tailgate to get it to go up on its own.

Thanks for the response.
I can only assume that the actual actuator might be different and not the tailgate itself.

After doing more research I just realized that I was far away from the truth.
imnuts was right and the whole tailgate needs to be replaced
