    I went to the link. Ready to buy one. But it says for pickups only. I have a Ford E150 Conversion Van. Do u think it's a good idea still to purchase? Or I will have to buy a different kind. Maybe bcuz of the vehicle is different.

    I see a lot of tailgate kits saying how bright their reverse lights are. When they show a video of them . It is always daylight outside or shop lights are on. How about a night view or turn shop lights off to see how bright they really are. Not hating on any body's product. Just want to see the difference.

    QUESTION: I have a 2017 Ford F-150 XLT and my tailgate has the built in step. With that feature they added a bracket (FORD PART # 99107B72) on the right side to the back end of the bed to support the use of the step when the tailgate is open. The location of the bracket affects and limits the installation of a tailgate light bar. Is there a work around or solution to this obstacle? Thanks in advance.

    Hi. Yes that is correct they do but there is a bracket mounted on the end of the bed that locks the tailgate if or when the step is used. That bracket interferes with the mounting of the tailgate bar the way you have demonstrated. I noticed that on your demonstration on the truck the holes are present on the right side of the bed towards the end. I would really like to install the tailgate bar but the bracket limits of affect my ability to do so. Just wondering if there was a work around... Thanks in advance. parts.ford.com/shop/en/us/bracket-6477907-1
