About this item

  • This tailgate assist fits 2019-Current Ford Ranger.
  • NEW and IMPROVED – We have improved the hardware. You no longer have the little bottle of blue thread lock to mess with. The hardware comes with thread lock on it and ready to be installed. You do not have to worry about applying the thread lock and getting it on your fingers, clothes, or your vehicle.
  • Easy to use. The Dee Zee tailgate assist makes the use of your tailgate an ease. By simply installing this on your truck will give you the ability to release the tailgate with one hand and not have to worry about that loud bang when it comes down. The smooth controlled drop allows your children to safely lower the tailgate.
  • By adding the heavy-duty tailgate assist to your truck will ease the strain on the cables and hinge point by not free falling. You also will no longer draw attention to yourself when everyone hears the bang as your tailgate slams down.
  • Installation is a breeze NO DRILLING required and the parts are all specific to the year, make, and model truck.
  • Feel assured, we have tested the tailgate assist for the use and abuse it will receive as it assists you for years.

    Customers find the tailgate assist easy to install with three bolts and appreciate its perfect fit, particularly for the 2021 Ford Ranger model. Moreover, the product makes the tailgate open smoothly with one hand, and customers consider it a great addition to their trucks, with one noting it's better than generic versions. However, the build quality receives positive feedback, and customers consider it well-worth the money. The noise level is a concern, with multiple customers reporting terrible noise and squealing issues.

    Great product! Operated as advertised. All hardware included. Super easy installation I did at night in the cold. Only hiccup was that the top bolt on my 2022 Ranger Lariat Tremor needed a 7/16 Allen wrench for removal/installation. The torx 50 did not fit the top bolt on my truck. Ended my video at the bolt in question and took pics for reference. Still only took about 10 minutes to install and works great.

      Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2024

      So this tailgate assist is very easy to install and works a little too well. Because the ranger tailgate is so light the tailgate lowers so slow it's almost a hindrance. If you have something heavy you'll be waiting for it to lower itself. It also appears to slightly interfere with the cable on the driver side that supports the tailgate but haven't had any trouble with that yet. All in all worth it and maybe as it gets some more time on it it will lower a little faster.

      Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2024

      I bought the Dee Zee because it's the one that I've seen Ford put on the Ranger if you order this feature from the factory. So you could almost call it the OEM part... I bought a "used like new" and true to Amazon's word it was complete and in perfect shape, someone had sliced open the plastic and decided to not install it for some reason. Unlike some of the reviews of competitive items I didn't have any trouble with the piston conflicting with the cable. Mine works perfectly and starts the controlled drop almost from the point at which the gate opens. Highly recommended. Further comments: my truck is a 2002. You need a pretty stout Torx 50 bit, also an M-6 hex wrench. Those weren't included. That's about it...literally took 10 minutes.

      This was my fault as the brochure says 2019 and newer. My build is 11/18, so I thought it was PX3 and that the 2019 accessory would fit - WRONG. Let's see how easy (or otherwise) it is to return and get the correct one.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Easy Install
      Reviewed in Canada on March 25, 2023
      Verified Purchase
      In addition to the instructions I watched a helpful You Tube video. The video wasn't really necessary but never hurts to have too much information.
      The installation was easy although taking the original bolts out of the tailgate took some effort. Using a T50 bit with a ratchet would be easiest but I didn't have the bit and didn't want to buy one if I didn't have to so ended up using a Torx wrench.
      Also note that the instructions included with the kit did not mention in the "required tools" that you need an M6 allen wrench.
      Again, the install was easy and the damper works well. A bit slow dropping (but I guess that's the point) however I suspect that will loosen up over time.
