Ford F-350 Trunk & Tailgate Hinges

The bed, located at the rear of your Ford F-350, is a large and spacious compartment, which can be used for storing and transporting objects. You can keep sports and fishing gear, building supplies and spare tires there, or transport large and heavy objects needed for work or play. There is a gate at its rear called the tailgate. You need to open it to get access to the bed itself, for loading and unloading cargo. Gradually tailgate hinges, responsible for opening and closing the tailgate, may wear out or get damaged, and you will need a replacement.

The most common reasons why tailgate hinges fail are abuse they get from debris, small rocks, dirt, rain, and snow. They start rusting and can get cracked. Minor rear collisions also do not benefit the bed in general, and hinges are no exception either. If there are any difficulties when you open or close the tailgate, or you hear grinding or popping noises while opening and closing the tailgate, these are the first symptoms of the hinges’ failure. To ensure the tailgate will not open up while driving on the highway, replace worn out hinges with Ford F-350 tailgate hinges from our online store.
