Custom Flow Elite Series Louvered 5th Wheel Tailgate for 2009-2014 Ford F-150
Upgrade your truck for seamless 5th-wheel and gooseneck towing with the Custom Flow Elite Series Louvered Tailgate. Featuring a contoured V-notch design, this tailgate provides optimal clearance when hooking up fifth-wheel trailers without needing to open or remove your tailgate.
Automotive aerodynamicists note, "Louvered flow-through designs significantly reduce rear-end wind drag across open truck beds, improving highway fuel efficiency while maintaining high structural rigidity." Built from heavy-duty tubular steel and finished in a rust-inhibiting black powder coat, it mounts directly to your Ford F-150 factory hinge locations with a integrated locking mechanism for added security.
