It is a nice tail-gate...go to their website and either use their dealer locator or call them.I carry Go-Indus. at my shop but I'm in Va. Good luck

IIRC I read years back that the louvers don't help mileage any if that is your goal.

There is another thread with discussion on the louvered tailgate/mileage issue here:
Link
I have a question however (sorry if this isn't quite on topic) I would quite like to install a notched tailgate but I have a Roll-n-lock tonneau and would like to be able to keep the bed secure when not towing. Does anyone know if there is a notched tailgate available which has a "door" or drop in for the notch, firstly, and secondly anyone know if this would still be compatible with the Roll-n-lock?
Thank you, Craig

I have answered my own question. I found one manufacturer who has inserts for the notch:

I have the custom-flow v-gate I thinks it's a great setup. They did not make the insert panel for my truck so I made one . I have a tryfold but when not towing I can cover and lock my gate.

That is where I bought mine. Very happy with it. I think, not sure but it is a Husky brand. Let me know and I'll send you a pic if you want.

I suggest you get one with a lock, rumor has it that these are easy to steal and there is always a market for V gates.

Handy Industries, I have had several, they are well built, strong as heck. They look great when painted.
