New truck. What size bed?

I would be more worried about the cables breaking than collapsing the tailgate itself...

Open, then slide cables down and pull off. They told me the tailgates are the first things sold off the trucks that come in and advised me to lock mine. F350 gate is too big to fit on the others - I still lock it.

All SuperDuty tailgates are interchangeable. 99-12. Some additional hardware is needed to put a 08+ tailgate on a prior year, but they fit just fine.
