Most Popular Composite Plastic for 2019 Ram 2500

Really nice tailgate to hold me over until I get the OEM fixed. Installed in less than 30 minutes. Was packed very securely. 5 years towing a fifth wheel and got distracted and damaged it when I forgot to lower it. Must have for me going forward and camping. Thanks etrailer.

Very disappointed with this product. First, unhappy with the fit. Leaves a good size gap between the bumper and bottom of tailgate. Secondly, the gate I received with the lock will not stay in the closed position unless it is locked each time. The latch falls to the open position and at the first bump in the road the tailgate falls open. We lost a table top barrel cooker and luckily it did not greatly damage our Fifth Wheel we were towing after the gate dropped. Finally, our last trip the lock failed and remained locked. After returning, I disassembled the locking mechanism(only way to get it open) and removed the tail gate for good. I am done with it.

I give it a four just because I feel it can be more durable there is gap from one end to the other that can fit a metal pipe.....hint hint. I weigh like 210 and afraid to enter with the tailgate down. I do like the amount of space between my fifth wheel and the gate. Another suggestion etrailer maybe make a quick release pin for the tailgate insert? So I can take the insert of quick when I need too.

Very Nice! The installation instructions were clear and easy to follow. The tailgate itself took a little time to loosen up and start moving freely but did. I’m very happy with the purchase!

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.

Excellent item. Fits perfectly. Just like our old one. Thank you!

I was told this tailgate cannot be painted,well yes it can be just use a flex agent in base and clear.

Quite straight forward to install. Good bang for the buck if you don't need much weight loaded on the tailgate. Used with the Husky Backup Camera Relocation Kit on my 2013 F-150. Simple mod to the camera kit (cut off lower wire cover and use longer screws to attach to gate where you want it.) Camera is wide angle enough that placement isn't that critical.

Tail gate is ok the Curt plate and A20 fifth wheel hitch are amazing! Lori in customer service is awesome!!!!

I really like the product, seems well build and easy to install, the directions that came with are of not much value but some common sense and the tailgate is fairly simple to install with very little adjustments needed.

This tailgate is very high quality, better than I hoped for. Installation was easy and no parts missing. Looks great on my truck!

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.

One of the drawbacks is finding out that you can't retain the camera from your Ford tailgate. (I suspect this will work on other non-Ford tailgates also.) I simply removed the camera and wiring harness from the original tailgate, stuffed the cable back through the frame's exit hole and then trimmed the left side of the grommet as depicted in the photo to make room for the 90 degree electrical connection to the camera (left side). The camera is then a press fit into the plastic grommet and doesn't require any other mounting screws or glue. As you can see from the photo, the field of view is excellent. This is a free and easy fix for customers who might want to retain their camera without an expensive accessory kit.

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.

I had to cut out my sewer hose bumper. The receiver hitch would not lower enough to clear it.

Thank you Amy for getting me to the right tailgate. Love the design!
