This strong-as-steel plastic tailgate features a cutout that makes it perfect for towing a 5th-wheel or gooseneck trailer. The locking tailgate has built-in louvers that reduce drag, and it mounts securely with rotary latches and coated cables.Delivery was quick even though there was a weather delay. The Stromberg-Carlson tailgate was as described and looks great. The instructions say not to set on the tailgate because the cables won't support the weight. Even though I used the cables from the Chevy tailgate, I won't be setting on it because the gate itself appears a tad bit flimsy. 175890
Vance P - 02/27/2016Received the tailgate within 3 business days, all in good condition. Installed within 20 minutes. I did view the installation video on You Tube before I purchased which was very helpful. The printed installation instructions were not all that clear, and without the video may have been quite frustrating. With the knowledge from the video, installation was a breeze. The product works well, but could use one small improvement. The latch handle does not "spring return" so you have to remember to turn it back after unlatching or the tailgate does not latch again. Over all though, great product. 343963

Great design. Ready to install. Easy to install. This is a great fifth wheel tailgate. It saves my factory tailgate from damage that I have seen others incur. 737545
Good looking lite weight well crafed 733984
ordering was super easy; shipping was exactly as expected; product was well packaged; super easy to install; downside for me...my horse trailer gooseneck will not clear cut out when hitching and unhitching. realize I should have checked measurements more carefully before ordering but...no returns once installed so it really doesn't serve my purpose. otherwise really great product and I loved how easy it was to install. 718272
Good fit. Everything was fine. 710756
Shipping was quick. Trimming involved in putting caps and lower screws on. Alignment is not the greatest. Although it will serve it's purpose, you get what you pay for. 692773

Was so easy to install. Love the looks of it 671541
was disappointed that gate could not be painted, had purchased $75. 00 worth of automotive paint and clear before gate arrived, and now cannot return it or use it.... should have mentioned that in the ad for the gate !!!! also the passenger side does not fit tight, have tried to loosen and adjust but won't work, guess I will have to put a bungi on it to pull it tight, and that is ashamed, for the amount of money paid to purchase.. I will say install was easy other than the problems trying to get it from rattling. Just have to live with it now. I dare you to post this review. 669916
Mike L - 07/25/2019It's a good tailgate, you just have to remember that it cannot hold any substantial weight like a normal tailgate. 657537
Thank you so much! We love your company 591681
Product arrived timely and was what was advertised. No instructions were included in the box, but installation was easy to figure out. 587887
I gave it four stars because the original was damaged in delivery. When I contacted the company they were VERY gracious! I sent them a picture of the damage and that day a new product was shipped! Upon receiving the new shipment it was double boxed to ensure no damage! Great customer service! Thanks. Oh, and UPS picked up the return product at no cost to me! 585273
It’s plastic, don’t step on it, remove it before you try to load anything with marginal weight to it. The metal edges are riveted to the plastic center piece, those rivets will tear out. Looks ok, just no strength. 573928
I have to say easy to install. Looks nice Only problem is it is a little loose but I am sure I will figure out how to tighten it up. 529630

Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock for GM Trucks Was everything it is said to be. Company was great, shipping was fast. Thank You. 509598
I wish I would have went with one of the metal ones. I believe the metal ones have a high rating on the tailgate load.(load bearing weight in the open position) 490466
I got exactly what I ordered & could see progress of shipping. Fit was great. No worries. Thank you! 488548
Easy to assemble and very light weight 480272
