Tailgate lock

[Blee]

There have been a rash of tailgate thefts in the Houston area.  I would hate for mine to disappear. Any suggestions for tailgate locks that are better or more secure than others?  I wonder if tailgate locks from the K2 are the same size/shape as the T1?  I would think so but you never know.

So YouTube was helpful.  Lots of locks available,  the Sabellco was very nice but they only make a lock for Toyota and Ford. The Master Lock wasn't rated high, neither was the McGard. I think I'll save myself $20-40 and use a stainless hose clamp.

I have seen a lot of advertising for the folding tailgate on the 2019 GMC trucks. Will a 2019 folding tailgate fit on my 2018?

They do not.  Someone asked me the other day about a 2019 Silverado tailgate and we both measured them.  The new 2019 tailgate is much larger in both height and width than the 2018 tailgate
