Since the lever lift is no longer available and never was for the Gen2, I am still looking for a no-hands way of opening my bed.
I came across a member on an F150 forum that had installed solenoids, actuators, etc. but didn't really have a project put together.
I did some searching and found a very similar mod on a Tundra and luckily he had thrown together a DIY (link below).
Obviously this DIY is tailored to a Tundra and won't work for the Sport Trac, but at least it covers the overall strategy & approach.
This project combined with the simple install of a product like dee zee tailgate assist should give me a 100% hands-free option.
Has anyone on this site attempted this mod, specifically on a Gen2?
Any help is appreciated.
