Replacing tailgate questions

[BigNorm4Life]

Hey guys.. Just bought a loaded 2019 Power Wagon Level 2 with only 16,277 on the dash from New Hampshire. drove her back to Pennsylvania last night

I would say the truck is 90% mint.... there's a great deal of surface rust.. they salt the NH roads pretty good up there and I'm looking for a professional in Pennsylvania that can clean it up and treat everything. I just don't have the time to do it myself. the other thing is the tailgate is a bit worn and needs to be replaced. Great thing about buying a White truck... I have some real inexpensive options to replacing it but I wanted to confirm with the resident forum experts on buying a new one from Mopar

Link 1 has one direct from Mopar.. is the the correct part number? because from what I understand.. there's 2 versions of the tailgate. 1 with the Indent for the ram logo and one for the higher end models for the "R-A-M" logos, and is the tailgate from Mopar painted white or is it primer?

Link 2 looks like a painted direct replacement for what I need.. I just need to transfer the everything from the old one right?

The tailgates are a bare shell just in case you didn't know. But you should be able to reuse all the original mechanical parts.
I just replaced one on a 2500 and the cost was $1900 which included painting and reusing the mechanical parts.

So yeah that’s what I was trying to find out… are tailgates OEM white or Primer White?

When I F-ed mine up I found one local on https://www.car-part.com/mobile/index.htm check it out, see if there’s any local.

I believe all the tailgates are the same from 2014+

When you buy a brand new tailgate from a mopar parts supplier, it will be dark gray primed.
The one in your link, someone bought it brand new, then had it painted white (PW7).

No, they are not.
