Give your truck the ultimate upgrade in lighting technology with the Putco Freedom Blade. This high-power LED light bar is designed and manufactured in the USA. 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.

Customer Reviews

  1. So far its working great. I just had it installed on 10/25/24.

    – Robert Wyatt
  2. Love the programmable options for startup, braking, and turn signals.
    Generally easy to install. The biggest challenge was installing spacers behind the mounting clips to keep the light bar from having a “hump” due to the horizontal stabilizer bracket bolts along the rail below the tailgate.
    Encountered a small problem in getting the remote programming unit to work. “Will” in customer support was very helpful in getting it resolved. Very happy with this product.

    – Steve
  3. Bought this light for 2022 Silverado installation very easy hooked up. Wow just one amazing piece of equipment.

    – Adrian Albert
  4. If you wire the ignition relay correctly*** as the first step! you will save yourself lots of troubleshooting. My taillamp turned off because I had a bad connection and start-up sequence was not working too ( I would recommend to test it). Otherwise a fantastic light bar!, upgraded from the original Blade and it was worth it imo.

    – TK C.
  5. I purchased the Freedom Blade tail light bar and remote for my husband’s 2019 Chevy Silverado. Not only was he super happy but once installed by S&R I was super surprised of the quality all the features and super bright reverse lighting. He said this was one of the best birthday gifts ever. Thanks Putco you guys really put this product together. Worth every dollar and package was superb.

  6. Once all the correct parts were received and installation directions were clarified, the Freedom Blade was installed and works as described but your instructions need to be adjusted when installing on a Ford Maverick Hybrid. Additionally I received no intructions for the programable wireless remote and the colored wires did not connect to the same colored wired on the blade module which seemed a little convoluted.

    – Tom Heutel
  7. Installed the freedom blade on my 2021 F 150. Install was easy. Most difficult part was getting the bar exactly where it needed to be for tailgate clearance in the down position. If you also install the remote control with the bar, make a splitter (Y shape) wire to run power to both the bar and remote box from the wire ran from the fuse box. Install is easier if you remove the spare tire to route all the wiring at the back of the bed.

    Q Signal lights are reversed answer now
    A

    The wire coming out of the lightbar should be on the drivers side, if this is not the case then you may have the harness flipped.

  4. How do you install the light bar on a 2023 F-150 Platinum? It has some small bracket right in the path of where the light bar would go.
