    2014 Super white. Got the matching color. Got the codeable tech so I can use my truck key.

    Hope it's really super white and hope it don't break. Install should be a breeze.

    I'll update once installed. I didn't go with the remote one, seems lotta issues.

    Tip....I have one on my 2015. I got the truck when it had 3K on it. The original owner had the lock installed by local dealer when he purchased a tonneau cover. I have owned the truck just a little over a year now. The locks are weak. Mine broke last weekend. The plastic tab that engages the metal latch plate breaks off. The best way to prevent the stress on the weak plastic tab is to press firmly at the top of the tailgate to remove the force on the two latch points prior to pulling on the latch. This will make opening the gate easier. I failed to do that last time when it snapped. The guys at Pop and Lock are sending me a new part to fix it. They respond quickly. Unfortunately the first owner failed to keep the original OEM latch. Now it would cost me $75 to go back. I do like the option to lock the gate when needed. Just wish it was a stronger design. Hope yours is trouble free. Best of luck.

    If you haven't already you should also do the hose clamp and maybe even the washer mod in combination. Super easy extra peace of mind.

    Like said above, push forward on tailgate whenever pulling on the handle to relieve pressure when opening. I've had mine over half a year no problems
