i gotta say, switching out the tailgate on a 2010 Ford F150 XL ain’t that hard. so, the first time i tried, i thought i was gonna need a degree in engineering or something. But really, it’s mostly just some bolts and lifting.

you just need a buddy to help you lift the old one off, cause it can be heavy, unless you’re a gym rat. i remember when i dropped it on my foot once. not my best moment, trust me.

And then, putting the new one on took like 20 mins. honest! Just line it up and bolt it down. anyone else had a funny tailgate swap experience like me or is it just me?

I ve changed a tailgate on my 2010 F150 in my buddy’s driveway in Texas I thought it was gonna be a pain but honestly it wasn’t that hard just a couple bolts and some lifting I was surprised how simple it was really

Thought I was gonna need a pro but I saved some cash and felt proud after looking at it all done.

I remember swappin my buddy’s tailgate on his 2010 F150 in Ohio. It was pretty straightforward honestly just a couple bolts and some lifting.

I ve heard some folks struggle with it but if you got a friend to help it really isn’t bad. Just dont rush it.

I ve had my share of tailgate troubles with my 2010 F150 XL up in Michigan. It’s not rocket science but not a walk in the park either. If you’ve got a buddy who can help it goes a lot smoother. Just make sure to have a beer handy for when things get tricky.

Honestly I think its easier than most people say. Just takes a little patience and a couple tools. I replaced mine in a couple hours and I’m no mechanic. F150 parts are pretty easy to find too around here so that helps. Just be ready for some rust if your truck’s been through winters.

I’ve changed my tailgate on my 2010 F150 a couple times down in Texas. It ain’t too hard if you’ve got a buddy to help lift it. Just be careful with those bolts cause they’ll rust up on you. I think it’s easier than most think if you have the right tools.
