    Bummer man, keep an eye on craigslist

    on your next one invest in some of the many tailgate lock solutions so it can't happen again

    Major bummer.

    2019 must have a power tailgate lock? If you think about it, the power lock is probably not hard to defeat without causing damage to the tailgate.

    Maybe one of the cable lock options would be a better solution.

    I hate thieves!

    So how does this happen? Do you have a factory locking tailgate? Or did they pick the lock on it? Mine is a 2018 And it locks. Should I get some other sort of tailgate anti theft device?
