Now that I'm done with my bedliner, have got my DeeZee assist in, and am about to do my tonneau within the next week, I would like to add a locking tailgate handle to finish it all off before I get a bed extender/divider.

I'd preferably want one of the highest quality and durability, with the possibility of using my current truck key, too. THAT would be really nice.

So, any suggestions?

I have the Bully tailgate lock and also had one on my old Ram. They work great and I've had no issues. You can't use your current key with it, but maybe a locksmith could work something magic for you?

You guys have any tips or suggestions for a powered locker? D'yknow if the pop-lock powered one is any good? The reviews don't have much to say aside from crappy instructions and mismatched wire coloring. Other than that, the other 3 reviews say it's okay.

I've never bothered with the powered ones. I don't use my tailgate enough to really need one.
