2026 2027 New Hands-free Power Tailgate Conversion Kit Electric Tailgate Retrofit for Ford Tourneo Custom MK2

This hands-free power tailgate conversion kit upgrades the manual rear door of the Ford Tourneo Custom MK2 van into a fully automatic electric tailgate system. Built as a complete plug-and-play retrofit, the kit raises and lowers the rear door from the factory remote key, a dashboard switch, the tailgate handle or a optional foot sensor, using a high-torque brushless motor and vehicle-specific mounting brackets. The wiring harness follows the original loom, so workshops can complete the install without cutting the body or disturbing factory electronics. Fleet operators running Tourneo Custom and Transit Custom MK2 vans will find the loading cycle noticeably faster, especially during courier, airport-transfer and cargo work.

Key Selling Points

• Hands-Free Power Tailgate: Wave a foot under the rear bumper sensor to open or close the door while your hands stay full of parcels or tools.
• Electric Tailgate Retrofit: Converts the manual back door to a motorised lift using OEM-style brackets and a plug-and-play harness.
• Power Tailgate Conversion Kit: Ships as one complete set with motor, drive unit, control module, struts, brackets, wiring and hardware.
• Four Control Channels: Remote key, cabin button, tailgate handle and kick sensor work together with no conflicting commands.
• Anti-Pinch Safety: Hall-sensor obstacle detection reverses the door instantly if resistance is felt, and operation is locked unless the van is in P gear.
• Programmable Opening Height: Limit the lift angle for low-clearance car parks and covered loading bays.

Technical Specifications

Fitment & Applications

Delivered for the Ford Tourneo Custom MK2 passenger and crew vans that share the Transit Custom MK2 platform. The kit is aimed at shuttle companies, camper converters, dealers and fleet maintenance workshops that want hands-free loading without ordering a factory power door. Because the original latch and central locking stay untouched, the vehicle keeps its anti-theft level and can still be locked centrally from the key.

Packing & Quality

Each set is packed in a foam-lined export carton with labelled fastener bags, and every unit is function-tested before shipment, including motor load, wiring continuity and sensor calibration checks. We back the kit with a 2-year warranty and offer installation guidance and troubleshooting support for overseas workshops.
