Ford Tourneo Rear Tailgate Replacement Parts

The Ford Tourneo Connect has been sold in two clear generations in the UK: the first generation ran from 2002 to 2013, and the second generation ran from 2013 onwards, with a facelift arriving around 2018. Tailgates are generation-specific, so a first-gen tailgate will not fit a second-gen vehicle and vice versa. Always tell the breaker your exact year and registration so they can match the correct generation.

The 2015 and 2019 Tourneo Connect are both second-generation vehicles, but 2019 falls after the 2018 facelift which may have introduced pressing or panel changes to the tailgate. You should name both years to the breaker and ask them to confirm the part number matches before buying, as fitment across that facelift boundary is not guaranteed.

Yes, this is one of the most important things to get right — barn doors (the twin side-hinged doors) and a single top-hinged tailgate are completely different parts and will not interchange. When contacting a breaker, confirm which configuration your vehicle has, as both options were available on the Tourneo Connect range.

Trim level does not affect tailgate fitment on the Ford Tourneo Connect — the panel itself is the same across Ambiente, Zetec, and Titanium grades within the same generation. However, you should expect cosmetic differences such as badge positions or the presence of a rear wiper and washer depending on the donor vehicle's specification, so check the used part matches your existing setup.

For the rear tailgate specifically, wheelbase is less likely to be a direct factor than it would be for side panels or roof sections, but roof height variants can affect the tailgate shape and size. Confirm your vehicle's exact body variant with the breaker against your registration to make sure the tailgate profile matches before purchasing.

No — the Tourneo Custom and Tourneo Connect are built on entirely different platforms and are different sizes, so their tailgates are not interchangeable. Always source a tailgate that specifically matches your model, generation, and body configuration, and give the breaker your registration to avoid any mismatch.
