Each light bar is designed to work perfectly with the year, make, and model of your truck. Unlike other rear light bars, the Freedom Blade is fully encapsulated in tinted polycarbonate resin that keeps moisture, dirt, and dust out ensuring a long life. Also, the polycarbonate makes the blade flexible so it forms to the lines of your truck, unlike other light bars on the market.

Putco Freedom Blade is named this not just because it was made in the USA but also because you can choose your turn signal color between Amber or Red. In addition, the Freedom Blade has an industry-exclusive startup sequence and scanning turn signal. Depending on your make and model this is available in two sizes 60″ and 48″. Each light bar is manufactured with up to 1,296 LEDs (60″version) rated at 60 Watts of power running at 2,000 Hz, producing a solid beam of light that is visible miles away!

If you are looking for an American-made tailgate light bar then the Freedom Blade is for you. This blade installation and setup only takes about 30 minutes with no cutting or splicing of wires. Each blade is compliant with the SAE 2022 IRSE19 DOT Compliant.

Sounds like this is meant to hook up with the trailer wiring, possibly with a Y harness? I did this with another light bar and it made the truck think there was a trailer attached and disables all the rear safety features. Does this product avoid that?

I had read that it’s not possible to plug into the trailer light plug without creating problems like you described. I have a Pro, so no brake light bar on the tailgate. Since I only want to spend about $50 on a 12” third brake like for a diy camper ($500 is out of my budget), I’m wondering if it’s possible to connect into the empty plug under the bed that’s used for the brake light tailgate bar on the higher trims?

It would just be solid red. The tailgate light bar doesn't light up brighter with the brakes.

I did not realize that. Thought it was a third brake light.

Weird I was not getting notifications of responses here...

No it does not connect via the trailer. On the newer trucks (2021+) it plugs in-line with the tail light connectors on each side

Cool, if you ever make just the wiring for that available, I'd be interested.
