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.

Works well except the "donut" that fits on the driver's side post keeps falling off and the one on the passenger side almost makes it impossible to remove the 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.

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.

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.

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..
Wasn't very happy with it. Looks good. But no where for a backup camera. I'm also not happy with the plastic.

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!!!!

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.

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!
