Review on πŸ”’ POP & LOCK PL8200 Power Tailgate Lock for Ford F150 and Mazda B Series: Secure Your Truck's Bed with Effortless Power by Carlos Henley

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A little tricky to install but works so-so.

There were some minor errors in the installation guide, plus the wiring in new cartridges is tedious but works great. The first thing I had to do on my Ranger was adjust the latch rods to make sure they jammed the latch before they were pulled far enough to open the tailgate. A slotted hole for the mounting screw would be a great improvement. After 3 years of use I am planning to replace it, it is unreliable in both locking and unlocking. I have opened the tailgate more than once without unlocking it. Part of that may be because I live on a country road, but given the price and the complexity of the setup, I wouldn't recommend it.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Not the best
