Important Fitment Note: We do our best to list all compatible models. For parts that vary by production date, cab/body style, frame, engine, or option package, compare your original component and installation measurements before ordering. For factory Flex Step tailgates only. Ford catalogs separate molding and insert parts for step and non-step configurations; confirm the original trim arrangement and the actual pieces in the kit before ordering.
Product Overview
The upper cap protects the exposed edge of the tailgate and finishes the area around the fold-out step. This configuration differs from the molding used on trucks without the integrated step.
A cracked or missing tailgate cap leaves the top edge exposed and can interfere with the way the factory step trim fits together. Replacing only the damaged trim avoids changing the entire tailgate.
