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.
2016 Chevrolet SilveradoThis 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 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate with Open Design for GM Trucks
Tailgate is absolutely awesome. Works perfectly and looks great.
Nice tail gate. I put 3/8 all thread rod in each end and put between 2 stands for I could turn it to paint it. I took the rings off latch and put a washer on each one they closed a lot easier

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

DeeZee Tailgate Assist Custom Tailgate-Lowering System for Pickup Trucks
Deezee Tailgate Assist Tailgate : still doing its job. Has lost a little of its zing, so I'll have to see if there's adjustment for that. Installation was easy enough and functioned just as desired (no more tailgate slamming by girlfriend while I'm holding her plants...)
Works awesome it's a great product

Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate with Open Design for GM Trucks
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.

TrailSeal Full Bed Protection for 2007 to 2019 Chevy and GMC Pickups
After reading instructions twice we installed lower seat for tailgate to 19 1/2 in. mark. Then installed right upright seal(see pic). After checking fit we installed left seal putting it on radius. Much better fitting seal. Had to put seal(excess from upright) on tailgate near latch(zee pic) to try to fill gaps at top of tailgate. Installed on 2018 Chevy silverado. Hope pic go through.
Very disappointed, at first it worked great then the lower seal fell off and hanging within 8 months. I installed this per instructions on a brand new from the dealer truck with a tonue cover.

Gorilla-Lift Utility Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist w/ Cable - 300 lbs
Easy Install - Easy to lift now!! The gate was extremely heavy PJ TRAILER -U8 model gate I can now lift with one hand — very little effort THANKYOU!!
We have owned our Gorilla Lift for a year now and absolutely love it!! It was a two person job to install. It makes lifting the heavy ramp a breeze to do with just one hand. We painted the bold yellow square bars black to match our trailer. I would definitely purchase the Gorilla Lift again if we get another Doolittle trailer.

Rack'Em Double Barrel Utility Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist w/ Chain - 200 lbs
Received the product. Thanks for the speedy shipping. I have installed the product and am very pleased with it's operation. It was very easy to install . Since it was placed on my trailer's side gate, I only had to make one small change. I drilled two mounting holes into the gate bracket and mounted it with the adjustment holes on the outside in order to keep the lift chain straight on it's sprockets. (shown in picture). I had to purchase nothing extra for the double barrel lifter and it works great. Friends are already commenting on it and getting the order info from me. More will come when the snow and ice clears.
I am very pleased with this product. I have installed this on my split tailgate and it works flawlessly. I have another trailer with the gorilla tailgate assists on both sides. I would pick the RA-27C double barrel over the gorilla springs, hands down. I have included some pics to help anyone else with a split tailgate. This is what I came up with and it works great!

TrailSeal Tailgate Gasket- A Tight Tailgate Seal
I ordered the TrailSeal Tailgate Gasket for my 2022 Ford F-150 Platinum which has a power tailgate. The install took about 15 minutes and appears that it will do a good job of sealing out dust and snow. The kit had good instructions and contained more than enough material. After installation the tailgate closed and locked with a push of the button. When installing make sure you have everything lined up the way you want as the adhesive will not let you reposition the gasket.
I used this to seal around my Ridgeline dual action tailgate. I already had installed a backflip hard folding cover. The seal works great. I now get a very small amount of water in the bed in a hard rain

Extang MaxSeal Tailgate Seal - 10' Long
The seal works very well on my 2018 Silverado, with the exception of the area near the top of the tailgate, where there is just not a good way to seal it. Not the fault of Extang tape, so I sealed almost all the way to the top and I never have any issues with dirt or rain getting in. I would buy this product again.
Got it installed on my 2019 Chev. Silverado and everyone wants to know where I got the light bar ! Good 2 face tape application and nice and bright too. Fast delivery and they answered all of my concerns. Nice doing business with a company that appreciates customers.

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....

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.
Not happy with the quality of this gate. All plastic. Latch broke within the 1st week. etrailer did a great job getting me a new latch. Customer support was outstanding.

Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate with Open Design for GM Trucks
2003 Chevrolet SilveradoOne 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 received and attempted to install the tailgate. The pins and the receivers on the tailgate are of different size. The pins are 1.25 inch diameter and the receivers internal dims on the tailgate 1.125 or even slightly less. It looks to me as though the tailgate receivers where designed for a 1" pin

Louvered Tailgate Insert for Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate
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.
Make quick release pins thanks. A little bit to pricey by itself, maybe include it with the tailgate?

Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock for Dodge Trucks
The product went together without any problems and it was pretty much set explanatory. Fit is great and the tailgate shuts very easily. This was installed on my 2017 Ram 3500. The truck is brown and the black tailgate blends in very well.
After I installed this tailgate, I can never go back to the original! The photo speaks for itself. East assembly with no adjustment for proper fit. Installed on 11-1 more than 10 compliments on 11-2. A must have even if you don’t have a 5th wheel..

Gate King Adjustable Truck Bed Extender
It's expensive for hinges, but they work great. Have utilized them a lot. It really helps when you have a tonneau cover but still want something to hang out like pvc pipe but do not want to open the cover.
For the price I expected less slop in the action as it opens, slaps against the tailgate. However, once extended or locked it is good. Remember to also use the spacer from your original cables (2019 Silverado) you will need them on the top bolts. The retaining clips (spring steel) were not tight enough so every third or forth closing/opening the ratchet would engage on one of the support bars. Simply squeezed them both with pliers to create a firmer fit. See one of the photos submitted showing the clip.

DeeZee Tailgate Assist Custom Tailgate-Lowering System for Pickup Trucks
Now I can drop the tailgate and it won’t drop like a sack of rice! Installation is easy until I cut off the washer on the cable bolt only to realize that I don’t need to cut it. Got a replacement washer from O’Reillys. Read and understand the instructions, do not rush it.
Great product very easy to install. You can install in about 30 minutes!!!! No more losing control of tailgate falling fast and out of control.

Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock for Ford Trucks
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 tailgate is the ultimate "plug and play" item. In total it took me less than 30 minutes to open the box and install it. It was so quick and easy I triple checked it fearing I messed up. Light weight yet sturdy.

This'll be ideal if you still want the functionality of a tailgate, but you want to use your gooseneck or fifth wheel trailer. It'll also save you a bunch of time 'cause you won't have to take that tailgate off when using those trailers. You can just leave this in place all the time.It's made of a durable steel construction, so it's going to be able to withstand any loads in the back of your truck, and it's going to last a long time. It's got a black powder coat finish on it to help resist rust and corrosion, and while this is designed to prevent corrosion, it isn't a finishing coat, and it's still recommended by the manufacturer to apply a finishing coat on it to match your vehicle and provide that extra layer of protection.There'll be one latch located on each side.
