Hi would anyone know if its possible to replace the multi-functional tailgate with the standard tailgate?

*One I dont like the split down it
*Two I prefer the words RAM rather than the badge.

So would anyone know if the standard tailgate would fit if I bought a replacement? I know the way it opens it sits in another frame I am hoping the frame it sits in is same bolts and fittings as a standard tailgate.

Many thanks

The MFT tailgate and frame come out as one piece the same way you remove a standard tailgate. They also use different strikers, so you'd need to swap those out. Mechanically it would be easy to swap to a standard tailgate. The only thing I'm unsure about is the wiring. I don't know if the plugs are the same.

I'd like to go the other way. Replace the standard tailgate with a MFT.
