2013 Ford F-150 Tailgate – OEM Fit, Strength & Reliability

The 2013 Ford F-150 tailgate is a vital part of your truck’s functionality and appearance — providing secure cargo access and protection. Whether damaged from heavy use or an accident, replacing it with a genuine OEM Ford tailgate ensures factory-level fitment, corrosion resistance, and long-term strength.
Crafted from high-strength, impact-resistant steel or aluminum (depending on trim), OEM tailgates are precision-engineered to match your truck’s body lines, latch mechanisms, and assist systems. They integrate seamlessly with your existing hardware, cameras, and locking systems — keeping your truck performing and looking exactly as Ford intended.
Unlike aftermarket replacements that may require adjustments or compromise durability, Ford OEM tailgates are manufactured to the same specifications as your original. They maintain structural integrity under load, resist rust, and align perfectly with bed rails and hinges for a smooth open-and-close operation every time.
For professional repair shops or DIY owners, OEM tailgates provide a straightforward, reliable solution to restore your F-150’s rugged utility and resale value.
