QIUMATIC Tailgate Lock Actuator for Ford F-150 / Super Duty 2015-2023 — Passive Entry, High-Torque Motor

QIUMATIC Tailgate Lock Actuator restores passive-entry tailgate locking and unlocking for compatible Ford F-Series trucks (2015–2023).

This direct-replacement actuator is engineered to match factory fit and function for Ford F-150, F-150 Lightning, and Super Duty models that use passive (smart keyless) entry. It replaces OE part numbers GC3Z-9943170-E / A / B / C / D and FL3Z-9943170-C and is built with a reinforced motor and impact-resistant housing to address common latch failures without rewiring.
