Description
Seamless Integration with Factory Keyless Entry. The Power Tailgate Lock is the ultimate convenience upgrade for 1997-2011 Dakota owners, allowing you to secure your truck bed with the push of a button. By wiring directly into your vehicle’s existing power door lock system, the Power Tailgate Lock automatically locks and unlocks your tailgate whenever you use your factory key fob or interior door switch. This eliminates the need for separate keys and ensures that your tailgate is always protected whenever your doors are locked, providing a modern, integrated feel to your pickup’s security.
Better Cargo Security and Theft Deterrence. For 1997-2011 Dakota drivers who frequently carry expensive equipment or use a tonneau cover, the Power Tailgate Lock provides a critical layer of defense against opportunistic theft. Once installed, the Power Tailgate Lock prevents the tailgate handle from being operated, effectively turning your truck bed into a secure trunk. This motorized deadbolt system is hidden inside the tailgate assembly, making it virtually tamper-proof and ensuring that the Power Tailgate Lock keeps your valuable cargo out of reach from unauthorized individuals while you are away from your vehicle.
Installation. Putting this Power Tailgate Lock on your Dakota takes 2 hours to install.
Warranty. There is a limited lifetime warranty on this product.
Application. The Power Tailgate Lock fits 1997-2011 Dakota models.
