Product Description
2009-2014 Ford F-150 King Ranch Stainless Tailgate Insert Trim, 0.875", 6 Pieces (TGI49309)
TGI49309 is a six-piece polished stainless steel tailgate insert set for the 2009 through 2014 Ford F-150, and its fitment carries one firm condition: "King Ranch Model only." Each strip is 0.875" wide, per the note, and the included line matches: QAA's 6 piece stainless steel tailgate insert trim, 0.875" width.
King Ranch only
If your F-150 isn't a King Ranch, this set isn't listed for it. QAA's linked TGI49308 is the same count and width with no trim restriction. The record doesn't say what makes the King Ranch version different, so let the photos of both guide you, and call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 if you're unsure.
Specs at a glance
- Six pieces
- 0.875" width
- F-150 King Ranch, 2-door and 4-door, 2009 through 2014

About the tape
QAA states the 3M tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. The strips go directly over the existing surface; nothing comes off the tailgate.
Before cleaning, plan
Lay out the six strips and match each to the photos. Write a number on each liner. Planning first means you won't be handling cleaned surfaces while sorting parts.
Cleaning
Soapy water, a rinse, a full dry, then isopropyl alcohol along each insert area. Wax buildup along edges is the usual culprit when tape won't grip.
Laying slim strips straight
A strip under an inch wide shows any wander. Anchor one end, sight down the length, then lower the rest while pressing. Place a central piece first and line up the others against it.
Afterward
Leave the tailgate closed for a few hours and keep it dry for a full day. Don't run the truck through a wash until then, and avoid pressure-washing the strip edges up close afterward.
Other F-150 parts in the record
GC49308 gas door cover; MC49307 top-half mirror covers; MC49310 full mirror covers (hybrid kit, removable piece for the turn signal cut out where applicable); PP49307 pillars; side accent kits AT49305 through AT49316; and molding insert and rocker kits sorted by cab, bed and flares. Check each listing for its finish and fit.
Upkeep
Rinse grit off the tailgate before wiping so it doesn't scratch the steel. Mild soap, a soft brush, microfiber, and a gentle non-abrasive polish when needed.
Confirm your trim
The trim name is usually on the vehicle's paperwork. If you can't confirm it's a King Ranch, call before ordering.
Checking your work
Stand directly behind the truck after the first two strips and again at the end. Every strip should run parallel with the lines around it, with no end lifting. Corrections are easiest in the first minute.
Supplies and weather
Mild soap, water, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloths, painter's tape and a marker for the liners. Work on a dry, mild day; warm surfaces bond best.

Installation tips: Tailgate Insert Trim
- Unpack all 6 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
