Install Difficulty Level
Installation is straightforward and approachable. Factory users report about 30 minutes needed for full installation, without cutting or splicing wires using the plug‑and‑play harness. As one owner described:

“The blade install is truly as easy as people say, 100% plug and play. Have someone to help remove the gate, have many zip ties on hand…”

Another DIY user noted:

“Installed the Freedom Blade on my 2022 Sierra … the brake lights and reverse light color matched perfectly. The reverse light makes a big difference…” 

Overall, installation is user-friendly: remove the tailgate (a helper is recommended), align and adhere the bar using supplied clips and adhesive, plug in the harness, secure with zip ties, and no complicated wiring required.
