Has anyone determined if the tailgate will have a lock? I haven't seen anything about that. The pictures I've looked at I can't zoom in close enough to tell.

It would be nice to know before wasting money on a tonneau cover.

Thanks in advance.

It’s my understanding that all trim levels have a key lock. XL need to insert the key, XLT and Lariat you can lock and unlock the tailgate with the FOB, along with all of the doors.

Here is a closeup of the tailgate key lock, it’s in the handle on the right side.

I hope you are right, I've ordered the Lariat lux and a touch to unlock would be sweet.

That lock that is an option is most likely the one that bolts onto the hinge so people cannot steal your tail gate. It’s kinda like this one from Amazon I think.

So - today - will a base Mav XL have a keylock in the tailgate?

Can't really figure out if it's option or not/confused w anti-tailgate-theft lock etc.

All Mavericks have a lock next to the tailgate handle. XL can be locked and unlocked only by inserting a key. XLT and Lariat can lock/unlock the tailgate by pressing a button on the FOB.

Optional to all trims is a tailgate hinge lock. It's out of sight unless you open the tailgate, and it attaches around one of the two hinges. It attempts to prohibit someone from removing the entire tailgate.

Everyone by now knows that all trims have a tailgate lock. I have a question: is there supposed to be a separate key for the tailgate? My fob key does not insert into the tailgate lock.

Hum, mine has not arrived yet. If that's the case the Manual is all messed up.

The ignition key for my XL operates the tailgate lock.
