About this part
Tailgate Assist, fitment-checked
Rough Country 73214 covers the 2004–2014 Ford F-150 and the 2004 F-150 Heritage, from XL and STX up through King Ranch, Platinum, Limited, and SVT Raptor. Bed design rules one group out: trucks with a flareside bed are not covered. Plan on minor drilling during the install.
This tailgate assist covers a long stretch of F-150 production: the 2004–2014 Ford F-150 across FX2, FX4, STX, XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, Limited, and SVT Raptor, plus the 2004 F-150 Heritage in XL and XLT. One bed style is out — flareside beds are not covered. The install needs minor drilling, and Rough Country recommends nutsert tool 10583 to make that step go faster. Made from A1018 plate steel, the unit is listed at 30 minutes to fit, and a downloadable installation guide is available. Shipping weight is 2 lb.
