2011 Ford F-150 FX4

The tailgate handle would be sweet. There's one integrated into the handle on the Canyons and there are two pegs you can wrap the tailgate cables around. It allows the tailgate to hold at a 45* angle and the backup camera points directly down at the hitch so you can line it up with a trailer. Pretty cool, would be neat if you could do something similar!

So the thing about the tailgate handle solution is that while it's cheaper, I'd have to have the handle painted as the FX4 has painted door/tailgate handles and I don't want a chintzy black plastic one sitting there :lol:

The other option is to do what Ford did if you ordered a backup camera. They made the Ford logo on the tailgate thicker, and installed a camera on the underside:



More expensive but a far slicker install. I think it'd line up perfectly to see the hitch, based on forum reports and photos I've seen. That's a cool trick with the Canyonrados though!
