Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate with Open Design for Dodge Trucks
The gate is very easy to install although the directions are pretty vague. My husband is very good at these things so it went well.
Got it installed today. Looks great. To dark to take pictures but really love it

It was difficult to attach the passenger side cover! The left latch doesn’t latch on easily needs to be slammed in! Overall it looks good and I think it get the job done!
This was a great option for the old tail gate.

Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock for GM Trucks
Tailgate word perfectly for my needs, I live in northwestern New Mexico and use it spring to fall for 5 th wheel convenience during hookup and dropping trailer. The light weight and v shape eliminates much of the fear of baking normal tailgate into trailer. I don’t have to drop tailgate to hook up. Was difficult to sand rubber inserts to fit on initial install but I got it done, also doesn’t provide theft deterrent from bed as the v opens enough for hand to reach latch on by backflip tonneau cover however I knew that would be the case before I purchased. I am totally satisfied with my tailgate.
Worked great! A few times it was difficult to get latched. It would latch after four attempts or less. I checked to make sure it was properly aligned. It was. I would suggest this product to others. Have sold the truck now! Upgraded to a newer one. Thanks

TrailSeal Tailgate Gasket- A Tight Tailgate Seal
After removing an old seal which hadn't fully filled the gap around the tailgate, I installed the new Trailseal Gasket on my 2017 F150 in 15 minutes or so. The only potential problem area is at the lower corner of the tailgate where the metal is curved near the hinge. I added small piece of gasket directly on the tailgate to better seal the gap. I had also done this with the old gasket and it seems to stay in place OK. I live in Western Colorado which has plenty of dirt or gravel roads. The day after installing the new Trailseal gasket I was on one of those gravel roads and it appears that very little if any dust got sucked into the bed. The truck also has a tonneau cover, so if the seal is good, the interior stays reasonably dust free. This proved to be an excellent product and did what it was advertised to do.

Louvered Tailgate Insert for Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate
Very nice add to the tail gate part. Easy to put on. I like the fact it covers the area that would be left open with just the 5th wheel gate.
Great addition to the tailgate. It really brings out the look of your Stromberg Carlson 4000 Tailgate. I have never been one to stand on my tailgate. I always use a step ladder so this will last me a lifetime. Very happy with this purchase.

Extang MaxSeal Tailgate Seal - 10' Long
work good
The product is doing a reasonable job of keeping dust out of the covered bed interior but is starting to loosen and correspondingly allowing more dust into the bed due to the adhesive starting to fail. I will reset the seal with some automotive trim adhesive.

I was told this tailgate cannot be painted,well yes it can be just use a flex agent in base and clear.
It works fine. Sometimes it gets stuck and doesn't want to unlock but I finally get it. Other than that it's fine. I wish it had a place for the backup camera. I was able to drill a hole and make it work. Other than that I'm happy with it. I would buy another one.

Fast shipping w/tailgate arriving well packaged. Easy install, okay instructions but product came with no bolts for mounting bottom brackets that allow you to attach tailgate to truck. Per spec sheet, none were to be included which I find odd. Also, just an FYI, it also does not include the tailgate support cables (not supposed to). So just be aware that if you don't want to take the ones off your current tailgate you will need to order a set of these. Overall pleased with purchase and would recommend.
Easy to install. Perfect fit. No regrets!

Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock for GM Trucks
Previously opened and re-stapled box. Part had minor scratches like it was previously installed and sent back then sent to me as new. Had no drivers side cup welded to the frame for hinge. Hopefully the replacement is better quality than this one and not used and returned and performs as designed.
This tail gate is very good. It fit perfectly on my 2016 Silverado 3500. The only issue I have is the locking mechanism does not always release. That can be easily resolved with a screw driver or keys. It is an annoyance but other than that it is a good value for the product.

Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock for GM Trucks
Hello etrailer staff! My tailgate arrived in a timely fashion but the journey was hard on the box and packing inside the box. UPS beat up on the box to the point of some of the contents are still in a truck or warehouse. I called etrailer and spoke with Noah. He assured me that he would get the missing parts in the mail and I would have all I needed to mount my tailgate. Noah was good to his word. Parts arrived today and the tailgate is mounted. The tailgate should be fine. Thank you Noah and all etrailer Staff. You did a fine job for me and my old 2001 Duramax Chevy.
The fifth wheel tail gate is excellent tail gate that makes my truck even better than it already does. I will be using it all the time as my everyday tail gate, it lets me have a tail gate on my truck even when trailer is attached to my truck

The cutout for the gooseneck needs to be lower. We really have to crank up our trailer to clear the tail gate.
Not only was the item delivered on time at a lower price than anther place I ordered and then cancelled after almost two months of waiting it is a very nice tail gate

This tailgate looks great and works great. The instructions are easy to follow for the installation. It took me about 20 minutes to complete the installation process. I recommend the Carlson Stromberg 4000 series tailgate.
Tailgate shipped quickly and was packaged well. However, due to the thin metal and spot welds on the corner, it required a small amount of straightening and welding on the corner. The lock is also not high quality, it broke when I was checking to see if it was locked. But for the price, it looks great and works well for its intended purpose. Visibility is better when backing and I've had many compliments on its looks.

I've been very please with this tailgate!
One year ago I purchased this model tailgate for my 2003 Silverado. I found immediately that delivery of it as without exception the fastest. This tailgate made the act of hooking and unhooking from my 5th wheel trailer was simplified tremendously. The visual of the Pin lining up with the hitch was very clear. The Tailgate did require some minor assembly by me however minimal tools were all that was needed for the assembly. This took a mere 30 minutes for me to perform and the tailgate fit perfectly. It still looks great to this day and performs excellently. I recommend this product without reservation.

I really like the tailgate but installation was harder than expected. 2 suggestions: 1. Make the flanges at the bottom of the edge covers "clip in" instead of screw in. The screws are very hard to access without taking the tailgate off -which is really hard to impossible. 2. Add a node for installing back-up camera. Tailgate looks great and opens/closes perfectly.
etrailer was great to work with. My package got hung up at UPS hub in CO. They worked diligently to find my package through theirs and UPS' systems and get the package to me timely! I highly recommend their team!

TruXedo Universal Tailgate TruxSeal - 10 ft
Seal installed easily With exception of sidewall seal on my 2019 Ford Ranger Lariat. Big gap between sidewall and tailgate, Resorted to putting seal next to the taillight assembly as shown in pictures, no gaps between tailgate and seal.
worked great for about 10 opening and closings of the tail gate, then the large "bottom" piece started coming off. now a year later, the bottom piece is off and I have a dusty truck bed. yay gravel road life....

This tailgate has made hooking up and dropping our fifth wheel so much easier and saved a little time
We are extremely pleased with the purchase of our 5th Wheel tailgate. Took only 20 minutes from the box to completely installed, including removal of solid tailgate. We will be recommending etrailer to family and friends.

Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate with Open Design for Ford Trucks
Hello, I purchased the 2015 Ford F-150 Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate and followed the directions. Everything worked correctly until I reached Step 11 - Reattach your factory tailgate cables to your new 100 Series tailgate.. The nuts are built into the tailgate. You need to either include (2) 1/2-inch nuts or state in the documentation the customer must purchase (2) 1/2-inch nuts to complete Step 11. I attached a picture showing the Ford tailgate and cable and the finished install. The install went faster than expected less than 30 minutes and looks great on my truck.
I ordered the wrong gate, but was able to make it work. I love the product, great service

Tailgate is absolutely awesome. Works perfectly and looks great.
One of the pin clips to hold the tailgate up had fallen off but otherwise it is solid enough to walk on!!
Stromberg Carlson Tailgate Installation - 2015 Ram 2500
Speaker 1: Today on our 2015 Ram 2500, we're gonna be installing Stromberg-Carlson's 100 series fifth wheel tailgate, part number VGD-10-100.Now this is what your tailgate's gonna look like when it's installed. As you can see it still matches the curves of the body of your vehicle. It will allow you to use a goose neck and still keep all of your cargo secure in the back of the bed of your truck. And when you're ready to load up the back of your truck, you'll want to push in on the tailgate to release some of the pressure, pull out on the release lever, and do the same on the other side. You can now lower it down and load up your cargo. Solid steel construction will make sure all of your cargo's nice and safe and it's got a black powder coat finish on it that will help prevent rust and corrosion.

"Easy place to shop. Fast delivery and great products. Very happy with my purchase."
