    My 09 5 lug never came with a locking mechanism for the tailgate. Would i need to buy a whole new tailgate or are there locking systems you can buy? Anything helps

    Pop N Lock is a common type.

    Keep in mind that it's worthless unless you have a hard cover or a topper that locks.

    If you only have a tonneau, a pocket knife will allow bed access.

    Yep, Pop N Lock tailgate handle. You can get them in black or color matched and the backup camera mounts right in them. You'll find them all over Amazon.
