    Anyone know if the 3rd gen entire tailgate would swap onto a 2nd gen (2014)?

    Fingers crossed...

    Doubt it. The bed is an inch deeper so the tailgate is an inch higher hence the locking mechanism won't line up. Just my observation.

    No way it will fit. And the shape is totally different, so the outside sheet metal would never match up.

    Because I like the way it looks and having a locking tailgate would be a luxury. The pop n lock that I have on my 2014 is a POS.

    Is there a shop that builds these in Mexico? Because I see a few of them every time I drive down to San Diego and they always have Mexican plates on them.
