I think this is a cover that goes over one of the tailgate hinges to prevent it from being removed, since the XL doesn't have a locking handle. I think installation should be included though...?

It is the lock for the hinge so someone can't steal your tailgate. The price you see is the price you pay. There is no " also the dealership is charging me $40.00 to install it. ". You should firmly remind them that they are already compensated by Ford to install all "Dealer Installed Options", big or small. They are not allowed to essentially "double bill" you.

Thanks but I told them not to install it. They said I still have to buy it because I ordered it but still haven't sat down with finance person yet. Then we will see if I pay $40.00 for something the sales man sold me and didn't know what it was.
