Video Transcript for Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate Installation - 2008 Toyota Tundra

Today on our 2008 Toyota Tundra Crew Max, we're going to show you part number VGT-70-100. This is a 100 series fifth wheel tailgate from Stromberg Carlson products. We'll go ahead and check it out to see how the overall look of the tailgate is. As you can see, it has a big opening here for the fifth wheel or your gooseneck trailer, so you don't have to lower your tailgate when you hook up to your trailer. Pretty simple and effective construction, square tube stock top and on the bottom on this row here. As you work your way down towards the bottom of the tailgate, you'll have round tube stock and some more square and angle iron on the bottom. It looks like it has a nice gloss finish to it, it's actually a powder coat finish.

Now if you look at the curve of the tailgate, it actually matches the body work of the truck and taillight lens as well and it goes all the way down towards the bottom of the bed here. Now if you ever need to lower your tailgate, simply pull up on the latch here, one on each side and lower our tailgate. If you need to, it'll rest on the bumper. Now our tailgate has latches that you do have to install, which is pretty simple. Just two bolts holds it in place. You can see how it goes into the factory catch right here.

Only a few tools are needed to install it, basically it's just to put the latch onto the tailgate. You'll need a 7/16ths wrench and the other side of the bolt uses an Allen tool, or an Allen key, and that uses a 4 millimeter size tool. Then if you need to make an adjustment to the catch on your truck, now this will use a T40 torques bit. First you need to go ahead and have the factory tailgate removed from the truck so we can install our new tailgate. To install our tailgate is pretty simple, line up the one hinge on the driver's side. Okay and with that, that will finish it for part number VGT-70-100, the 100 series fifth wheel tailgate on our 2008 Toyota Tundra Max Crew Cab.

@RaymondM Awesome, we're glad to hear that!

This tail gate is 1of3 we have purchased over the years and is a gift to a friend who put us up as a safe place when we evacuated because of a forest fire. The gift is given with out reservation and with pride because of the proven quality of the materials, workmanship and professional business conduct of the maker Stromberg Carlson and the retailer etrailer.

Easy to instill and it fits my 2018 Toyota Tundra

Thanks

Welds don't hold up. Thin metal. Latches constantly need adjusted.

Nice product for the price. I went ahead and sprayed the gate with a couple of cans of gloss black spray paint since one of the videos said that the black powder coat was really just a primer and can be painted. Not sure if that was necessary, and it was kind of a hassle. We do love how a 5th wheel tailgate makes hitching and unhitching so much easier!

2007ToyotaTundra

only problem I have had was the rust on the opening latches... a good rust removal and a heavy dose of WD-40 solved that. and I do keep it on all the time. like the view when backing up.

taken out of service. I had to stop RV travels due to medical problems. due to broken back & neck operation I am unable to set-up 5th wheel RV. I am looking for a new home for the tailgate.

It's a nice light duty tail gate. However, you have to " work " with it at times because it doesn't line up precisely with the bed. Not a problem if you keep a hammer with you as I do.
It has considerably improved my gas mileage, so the occasions that it refuses to work are made up by the savings at the pump. All in all, I would recommend it as long as you're not worried about breaking your fingernails closing it. ( and if that's a worry, what the hell are you driving a Tundra for!!??? )

I bought this tailgate to replace the one that came with my truck a year ago and it is working well , it has improved my rear vision when backing , I drive on some washboard roads and it latches as well today as it did on the first day ,my only negative thing is it arrived with damage to the top corners so a little more padding would help .

I ordered the Stromberg Carlson 5th wheel tailgate for my 2007 Tundra on a Sunday evening. It was shipped Monday morning and I received it by Friday. I finally got around to taking it out of the box and was able to quickly attach the latches supplied. Thank you! It looks and works great.



by:

Bought to replace my smashed factory tailgate on 2008 Tundra (never back a trailer with the tailgate down ;)
Sturdy and lightweight. Latches could be a bit easier, but certainly not a deal-breaker.
Would buy again.



by:

Upper right corner bent, very minor. Box was in rough condition though. Square tubing at top does not extend to the ends, both sides. creating weak upper corners. Tubing stops at vertical partition, extending to ends may complicate fabrication. Overall, good product for the cost. Tailgate is on the light side no doubt to keep cost down. Submitted by professional engineer with significant design experience.

I have never been disappointed when buying from etrailer and have recommended it to several of my RV aquaintances. The product is always as advertised and a bargain with free shipping and fast delivery.
The tailgate fit perfectly and was powder coated.
Thanks etrailer.

See what our Experts say about this Stromberg Carlson Tailgate

  • 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Towing Tailgate Options for a 2011 Toyota Tundra
    The biggest difference between the Stromberg Carlson Tailgates # VGT-70-100 and part # VGT-70-4000 is the material the tailgates are made of. The # VGT-70-100 is made of a heavy duty steel, powdered coated black to resist corrosion. The # VGT-70-4000 is made of a plastic that has been engineered to be just as strong as the steel tailgates, since it is plastic it will never corrode, and it is much lighter weight. Both tailgates are confirmed to fit your 2011 Toyota Tundra.

  • Fifth Wheel Tailgate that Fits 2020 Toyota Tundra that is Weight Bearing
    The Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate # VGT-70-4000 that fits your 2020 Toyota Tundra is not weight bearing but we do have the Stromberg Carlson part # VGT-70-100 that fits your vehicle that is rated for 100 lbs. Obviously this wouldn't handle the weight of two adults though.

  • How Does the Stromberg Carlson 100 Series Fifth Wheel Tailgate for 2012 Toyota Tundra Open
    To open the Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate # VGT-70-100 you will pull on the rings that are attached to the latch system. This will release the latch so that the tailgate can open. Check out the picture I attached that shows what the latch system looks like. I also attached a video for a similar Stromberg Carlson Tailgate to show you how the latch system works.

  • What Size are the Latches of the Replacement Latch Kit # 1085
    The latches in the Replacement Latch Kit, # 1085, are 3-5/8 inches long x 1-1/2 inches wide x 3/4 inch deep. These latches were designed to replace the latches that come with the Stromberg Carlson 100 Series Fifth Wheel Tailgate, # VGT-70-100. The hook with the pull ring sticks out 1-5/8 inches. I have attached an installation video of the tailgate that shows how the latches install on the tailgate.

  • Recommended Tailgate for 2014 Toyota Tundra with Integrated Lock
    For your 2014 Toyota Tundra, I recommend the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock for Toyota Trucks # VGT-70-4000. This is a great quality item that is confirmed to fit your truck. There is also the Louvered Tailgate Insert for Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate # VI-4000 you can add to this model. There is not an option for a camera but there is an integrated lock on this one. You can get creative to add a camera, but you'd need...

  • Availability of Replacement Latches for Tailgate on 2003 Ford F-250
    The Replacement Latch Kit # 1085 that you referenced is designed specifically for the Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate # VGT-70-100. Unless this is what you have installed on your Ford F-250 this latch kit won't work. We do not have any OEM replacement latches available for your truck but if you are considering replacing the tailgate altogether with a 5th wheel model like the above-mentioned unit I recommend the Stromberg Carlson # VG-97-4000. This is an extremely nice...
