how does it attach to a tailgate?

It comes with some adjustable clip straps... which are cheap... I did not use them... went and bought some "small size" high quality ratchet straps. The existing holes for mount straps to ramp were too small, had to drill larger holes for ratchet straps... I just hook over inside top of bumper and new drilled hole.... ratchet tight, works great. Ramp is high quality. I would recommend this product.

It has a lip which should rest on the edge of the bed and mounting points on the bottom to use with the supplied straps to secure it to a hitch or bumper. I use my own personal cargo straps instead though.

The ramps come with a large, curved, lip (about 3" long and the full width of each ramp) that would rest on the tail gate. I use mine every day for getting my equipment out of my construction trailer and the ramps never move. Depending on the height of your truck and the amount of force/momentum of what you are loading, there shouldn't be much movement there either.

Has about a three inch lip that sits on the tailgate. I've used it to load a motorcycle, four wheeler, pressure sprayer amongst other things. Works great cause it's wide! Drawback is that it's more bulky than the fold up ones and the angle of load is steeper due to its length. Hope that helps.

You know im not sure. Depends on the rear window. The rear window must have like a hard plastic small diameter tube like stick that runs the bottom length of the window. This tube slides into the tailgate bar . The tail gate bar comes with the brackets you need to mount to the tub on each side of the window. .

This has an adhesive backing. In order to place it there must be a flat surface for it to adhere to. If you had a "grill medallion" base, you could stick this to it, but that would be the only way. It was designed to stick to a flat area on the stock grill or on a relatively flat body surface like a tailgate.

My pickup truck cap rear window has 2 positions, closed or near-vertical (which doesn't work with the tent attached). So I can only open the tailgate when the tent is attached.

It makes it easier to open the tailgate. The tailgate doesn't drop. This one does not lift it at all.

You need to install both so as to get even distribution to lift or close tailgate

I have a 2001 GMC and the tailgate seems to me to be an integral part to the set up. The back section loops around and over the gate to secure the rear 1/4th of the tent.

It will serve as additional protection should you forget to lock your tailgate. If this is on then the tailgate is locked to the extend that it can be opened but not removed easily.

It does. The emblems come prepped for both front and back. Tailgate logo area has holes for the prongs and is held in place with the preinstalled adhesive. All that needs to be done on the tailgate install is peal off the plastic, align the prongs into the holes, and press firmly.

It is not a tailgate. It is an attachment to mount to both sides of your trailer (with springs inside) to attach to your tailgate with cables which make it real easy to lift the tailgate. We love ours.

There is a cable that releases the latches on both sides. The cable runs through a square tube that runs along the edge of the cover except for about two or three inches on both the left and right side which is where you pull on the cable. I like this method because I just need to unlock my tailgate and I don't need a second key to open the cover.

Yes, It stays in place the whole time. Real ez install. You can lock it or leave it unlocked and it stays attached. Great product to keep people from stealing your tailgate or if you have a tonneau cover etc.

It attaches via pressure applied between the top and bottom of the truck bed. There is bolt in the center of the rack that turns to apply the pressure to the opposing sides. Works well, especially for the price.

I have it mounted on the top of the receiver hitch pointed at the trailer ball. That way I can use it to align the ball with the hitch. When the trailer isn't on the truck I can see behind the truck without any obstruction.It's velcrow'd to the ball and I used a couple of heavy duty tie wraps.2 years+ and 40,000 miles later and it hasn't moved.Hope this helps.

when a person takes the tailgate off of a truck he has to slide it over to one side and lift it out. the lock prevents a person from sliding the tailgate over to one side so it can't be lifted out.

I installed mine just behind the cab. It can also be attached just behind the tailgate. I have a bed cover so those are the only two options.

Anywhere you like. I mounted mine behind the tailgate. I drilled a small hole through the tailgate skin and sealed it with clear silicone
