Power tailgate lock?

[GLSierra13]

Anybody know of a kit to make the tailgate lock/unlock with the power locks? I'd love to be able to lock/unlock my tailgate with my key fob rather than having to use the key all the time. ('13 Sierra 1500 SLE) This would be a slick mod. Any ideas?

Yes, Pop n lock...works great!

The kit for the GMT900'S is part number PL8120Q

I have had a competitors (Pace Edwards) kit installed in my '13 for a year and LOVE it. It retains the factory lock, so the gate can essentially be double locked for the utmost security.

I never heard of either of these. Will definitely be adding this to my truck. Thanks for the info!

I've had the Pop 'n Lock kit installed for over 2 years now. I love it.

The only warning I have is since I've installed it, sometimes I need to push the tailgate while I pull the handle or it won't release, not sure if that's because if the lock or because my truck is almost 8 years old but overall I'd say it's definitely worth it

The latches might need lubrication and/or adjustment.

Probably, the lock also moves the handle/geometry of the handle out about .25" so I think that has something to do with it

Installed the Pop&Lock kit today. Pretty easy. Works great. Thanks for the tip!
