    I have a Bakflip cover and added the OEM power lock and OEM bed lights, I love it. Very occasionally its slightly annoying to open, but I can just use the fob or door handles, which is much easier than pulling out the stupid little key.

    The power tailgate lock was a must have for me. I added the OEM kit shortly after I got the truck.

    I don't regret not getting a power tailgate lock. In fact, I don't even use the standard lock, since it's redundant to the lock on my Leer topper.

    Thanks for the info, I’ll take a look next time I’m in a Harbor Freight. Need to do something to protect my knees.

    I also have the Toyota tailgate lock and also will be getting the auto lock for my top at well. SnugTop.

    I'd gotten used to having the OEM powered lock on my personal truck, and didn't realize how useful it was until I got a new tonneau cover for my truck and put the old cover on my work truck. With my work truck being a key start and not a push button, it's even more of an issue because accessing the bed thus means taking the key out of the ignition
