Tailgate / Liftgate compatibility

[Prospect62]

I messed up big time yesterday and backed into my garage wall with my truck. I dented the tailgate up badly. I am looking for a replacement and finding a lot of "power liftgate" ones. My truck came with a manual liftgate.

Will a power liftgate bolt in assuming I retain my manual lift struts or is there some wierd and odd difference between the two where I couldn't make it work? Anybody know?

Thanks!

I would love to know also?

I can not say for certain but i can not think of a single reason why not.
I would however stay away from Escalade's. Some body parts are different.
