Most Popular Fifth Wheel Tailgate for 2021 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!

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.

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.

Tailgate fits perfectly for our 2002 Dodge 3500. Written instructions were a bit confusing for a visual learner. But found a great YouTube video that was perfect. Great value and price. Nice heavy gate

The powder coat paint is holding up great. Easy to install, looks good. I like to lay my tailgate down and stand on it while offloading one ton of pellets. I can't do that with this tailgate because it's not strong enough for me to stand on, or put several bags of pellets on it like I could on my orginal tailgate. Overall it's been good though and holding up well.

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.

The cutout for the gooseneck needs to be lower. We really have to crank up our trailer to clear the tail gate.

Perfect fit. Good quality. Zero issues.

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.

This was a gift for my husband. The measurements weren't looking correct for the tailgate. Called customer support and Kelly was most helpful about which one to order. It was a perfect fit and easy to install. Shipping was quick.

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

PLASTIC…. What ever happened to metal! I live in desert southwest, let’s see how this piece of plastic holds up to 100+ degree Fahrenheit heat for days on end. Having mounted it, it feels flimsy and unreliable. It seems $450 for a piece of plastic is a bit much. Maybe I’ll just use the hardware and make a metal one in my shop.

I didn't put it on yet. Because I dont want to lose my back up camera

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.

Tailgate is absolutely awesome. Works perfectly and looks great.

The tailgate I ordered was very easy to put together and made very durable.i Will definitely use this company again.
