Tailgate Central Locking for Ford Ranger NextGen 2023+
The Ford Ranger NextGen 2023+ is one of Australia's best-selling utes, built for work and off-road use. This tailgate central locking kit adds the one security feature it's missing out of the factory — an integrated tailgate lock that operates from your existing key fob. Every time you lock your doors, the tailgate locks with them. Every time you unlock, it releases. There's nothing extra to carry, remember, or install on top.
Features:
Integrates directly with the Ranger NextGen's factory central locking system
Vehicle-specific actuator and mounting bracket — no modification required
Automatic lock and unlock with door operation
No drilling into body panels or tailgate skin
Suits dual cab and extra cab variants
Fitment:
This kit fits the Ford Ranger NextGen (P703) 2023 model year and above, including XL, XLS, XLT, Sport, Wildtrak and Raptor variants. It does not suit the previous-generation Ranger (PX1–PX3). Check your build year before ordering.

A tailgate central locking kit connects your ute’s tailgate to the vehicle’s factory central locking system. It locks and unlocks automatically with your car remote, improving security and convenience.
Is the UniUte tailgate locking kit compatible with my ute?
Yes — UniUte kits are vehicle-specific and designed to suit popular utes such as Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux, Isuzu D-Max, Nissan Navara, and Mitsubishi Triton. Choose the correct model for a plug-and-play fit.
Is installation difficult?
Installation is straightforward. Each kit includes pre-wired harnesses, brackets, and full instructions. For most models, it’s a direct plug-in to factory wiring with no cutting or soldering required.
Does the kit work with aftermarket roller shutters or canopies?
Yes — the system works perfectly alongside roller shutters, hard lids, and canopies, ensuring your entire tub locks together with your vehicle doors. Just confirm your accessory wiring is compatible.
Is the kit waterproof and durable?
Absolutely. All actuators and connectors are weather-sealed to withstand water, dust, and vibration. They’re built for long-term reliability in tough Australian conditions.
Pretty straightforward wiring probably won’t be easy if someone doesn’t have the wiring knowledge but works well and no issues very happy with the product
Nice and easy to fit although the wire diagram was misleading as it states specific colours which do not match in the 24 model dmax and the instructions were unclear
From a few google posts I figured out the wires were the 2 end ones in the plug which were yellow and salmon colours and slightly bigger diameter than the others
Once connected everything worked as it should 😀
Now looking at the mirror folding module for the next upgrade
Overall it’s a great product, the instructions need to be redone as the images are not very helpful. But once you get your head around it the instillation was quite easy
Easy to fit, joining the wires need some thought (wrong colour’s in instructions) worked fine.
I did modify mine to move lock arm instead of lock latch. See how it last’s. Delivery was fast & packaged well.
Got the tailgate central locker, Great product , easy to install instructions were clear in b&w except the most important photo of the wiring at the end pic was grainy and needed to be colour. But jumped on google 100s of similar products people had installed so it wasn't hard to sort in the end.
But really happy with it.
It would have been better to have a note that the wiring harness is in the centre pillar passenger side.
This would make the job a lot easier. Otherwise very good system
I've had the remote tailgate lock installed for over a year now. Works well, no issues.
The installation instructions were hard to follow and took me a while to figure out but once I realised what was going on it was fine.
Easy to install, works a treat, only down side is if unlock the tray & not the doors the car doesnt sense me near a door it then locks the doors causing the tray to lock while open which i then need to unlock the car to get it to close. Otherwise its great
