Multifunction Tailgate Upgrade

[ViennaSteve]

I have a 2021 RAM 1500 with a 5'7" standard bed and tailgate. Does anyone have experience changing the standard tailgate to a multifunction tailgate?

The multi function tailgate uses a different design in the bed. It has addition at bracketed and supports.

Thanks! AFAIK, the standard tailgate can be swapped for a MFT with no modifications to the bed. The MFT is a unit including 2 doors and a bracket that mounts to the bed. There is also a short pigtail wiring harness for the electronics in the tailgate. I've garnered this from MOPAR parts lists, but I've never seen it actually done.

I'm in search of the details involved in a physical swap.
