Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock for Ford Trucks
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 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.

Plastic but durable. Unless you open and close it a lot. Then the closing mechanisms break. No parts can be found and the warranty says I have to ship the whole thing back to get replaced and I have to cover all shipping.
I purchased same a few years back from etrailer and didn't hesitate to again. The improvements since ,to now are great ,stronger ,trim end pieces,and lock are a great improvement.Love it and etrailer for always what I need. All the videos help so much.

Thank you for a GREAT product . My order was processed , shipped and delivered with precision . I have an older but reliable 1999 Ford 350 DWD Super Duty and your 5th tailgate fits like a custom made glove . The workmanship is excellent and the finish compliments the overall look of my truck.
So the tailgate instructions are lacking for starters. There’s a few dings on the tailgate where the paint is gone. Looking at the back of the truck, on the bottom where it connects, none of the spacers worked. So the top connections are snug but my bottom connections have play in them. I ordered the right one for my truck year make and model so I’m not sure what that’s about. It looks good, but I wish it fit properly and did not have chipped paint. Shipping was fast.

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.
I just love this product for it replaced my rusty tailgate. My truck has an updated look and a lighter tailgate for me to manage. Less bending and reaching to get things out of cargo area. I made some modifications which improve the cargo area security. The seller of this product was great.

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.
I ordered the wrong gate, but was able to make it work. I love the product, great service

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.
Great product. Only problem I encountered was installing bottom screw on the end covers.

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?

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

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..
I didn’t realize how flimsy and plastic this tailgate was when I bought it, but that’s on me for not reading the the entire description I suppose. I don’t think it was worth the purchase but it did save me some cost over a replacement oem tailgate that would have to be painted to match. I hate that it only has a 100lb capacity. Also closing it is a 2 part process, you have to slam one side then push hard on the other side to ensure both sides are latched, this is due to it’s flimsy plastic construction. My kids are constantly jumping oin and off the tailgate at the ranch before, so now I can only be worried that it will break. If they made a steel version with ORM camera mount this would be a great product. As for now time will tell but I’m not convinced it will hold up over time.

Not only was the item delivered on time at a lower price than anther place I ordered and then cancelled after almost two months of waiting it is a very nice tail gate
It fit! A 1999 Chevy 1 ton. 2 holes need to be drilled for the cables, other than that it's perfect, my husband is very pleased! It was fast delivery. Thank you!

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

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.
Fast and easy install, makes hooking up the trailer a breeze

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.

Love the tailgate sturdy and strong,the only thing that should be in the package and isn't for a 2013 F-150 Ford the passenger side bushing is not included in the kit. U have to buy it from other sources.
I love this tailgate!!! It was a snap to install. It fit perfectly without any adjustments. It is very snug around the striker bolts, does not wiggle at all!! very impressed. Thank you!!

I thought it was a metal tailgate not plastic. the insert on right side pivot point broke immediately. request new part and explanation of how it is inserted.
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!

After 1 year of use with our small 5th wheel RV, the Stromberg Carlson tailgate remains solid and looks great. Pleased with the purchase.
This gate is a great replacement for the original gate which I have in storage. I do quite a bit of trailering and like the convenience and better visibility. I am searching for aa backup camera that would plug into wiring harness. Do not want to disassemble original gate to get the camera.

Love the look. East to install. Needed to use my old cables and had to buy some fasteners and washers to attach the cables and also had to buy the hinge bushings. But for the price and the quality I am very happy.
Pro: 1:fit and finish (excellent) 2:shipping arrived 2 days early (awesome) 3:packaging good (everything arrived intact) Con: (nitpicking) 1: latch bolts should not be slothead (replaced with something not so prone to stripping) 2: could have used more of the rubber spacers (sandwiched steel washers). Summary: Used on 05 dodge 3500, would buy again. Very pleased with product.
