Most manufacturers are in the process of discontinuing their fifth wheel tailgates with the camera relocation kits due to mechanical issues. Therefore I could not find one that fits your 2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty.

The Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock for Ford Trucks # VG-15-4000 does not have a camera relocation kit, but its design reduces drag and improves visibility and will fit your 2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty.

The only tailgate product for a 2020 F-350 is the Pilot # TR-03 tailgate net.

@RonB I have a 2022 Superduty and ordered the below. It works fine, even though it's mostly plastic and you can't step on it or put more than 100 lbs of weight on it. Stromberg Carlson and thus, Etrailer won't guarantee fit . . . but it fits. If there are any warranty issues, you're SOL because S/C will void the warranty due to it not being used on an application they approve. Maybe that's why they won't tell you that it fits. Ford has been using the same bed style since at least 2017 but no one "makes" an actual tailgate for anything after around the 2019 model years. Go figure. You could probably cobble together a camera set up in it but it doesn't come with the direct ability to do so. I've used this tailgate for about a year now and will probably go back to my stock one because I do miss the cameras as well as not being able to step on it. https://www.etrailer.com/Tailgate/Ford/F-250+Super+Duty/2019/VG-15-4000.html?VehicleID=20191637275

We do offer 5th wheel tailgates, but we do not have any compatible with your 2013 Ford F250 that come with camera mounts. We do have two tailgates that might work for you if the camera is relocated. The Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel…

The difference between the 1621 and the 1621SHD is weight capacity and how many bolts is required to mount it. The 1621 uses 4 bolts for mounting. The 1621SHD requires all 6 bolts to be used.

To answer your question, the 2 inch difference is not a problem as you are going to be towing your trailer 2 inches further away from the cab of your pickup with the MoRryde pin box as opposed to the Lippert. So you are actually gaining 2 additional…

Answer 8

They really are very similar and interchangeable but the #MR84VR is for replacing a Lippert 1621 pin box whereas the part #MR94VR is for replacing a Trailair setup that also was for the 1621SHD.

The best way to determine if your Explorer is equipped with the tow package is to check with your Ford dealer. They should be able to run the VIN and be able to tell you exactly how the vehicle was equipped. I'm assuming you're needing the…
