YHT Auto listings include single pieces and sets. Match the truck's model and year, the section being replaced and the existing tailgate equipment before choosing a tailgate cap or molding.
Choosing Tailgate Molding
Compare the installed molding's contour, mounting points and finish with the replacement. A cap for one tailgate section must sit against that section's edges and attachment points.
A molding package covers the sections named for that product; it is separate from the complete metal tailgate.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is a tailgate cap the same as a bed rail cap?
A tailgate cap fits a part of the moving tailgate; a bed rail cap fits the side of the pickup bed. They meet near the rear of the truck but cover different pieces of the body.
Do all tailgate molding sets contain three pieces?
The number varies. One Ford F-150 listing identifies a driver, passenger and center set, while another supplies two side pieces for a tailgate with a step. Choose the sections needed for the truck.
Why does a tailgate step affect molding selection?
The step and its controls occupy part of the tailgate. Some moldings are listed for a specific step arrangement, so confirm that the openings and sections suit the equipment on the truck.
Are retaining clips included with a tailgate molding?
Inclusion depends on the package. The part's position and quantity do not establish that clips or fasteners are supplied, so check the selected listing and the condition of the existing retainers.
Does a black textured molding come ready to paint?
A textured-black description identifies the listed finish; it does not by itself establish that a piece is primed or intended for painting. Check the product information for the specific finish and preparation requirements.
