When I bought my XL, I didn't think not having a power unlocking tailgate would be such a nuisance. However, having to shut off the truck to use the key to unlock it was becoming an issue. Like when it was very dark trying to find the keyhole was a pain.
I watched this video:
And with about $120 in parts and materials was able to install the power tailgate lock. The lock was $106 and I bought the aftermarket power plug for about $13. Also fabric harness tape, electric tape, electrical connections etc. It took a little time and I have big hands so maneuvering around inside the tailgate was a little clumsy.
Very pleased with the results.
