It does create secure storage for your valuables when used with a Tano cover, or camper shell. The power lock will work with your factory power lock system, so it does lock and unlock using your remote keyless entry.

Stromberg Carlson Tailgate Installation - 2018 Ram 3500

Speaker 1: Today on this 2018 Ram 3500 we'll be having a look at and showing you how to install the Stromberg Carlson 100-series fifth wheel tailgate with open design, part number VGD-10-100. Here's what our tailgate looks like installed. Now the reason you're gonna want a tailgate such as this one is that the open design that it offers allows you to back up to your fifth wheel or your gooseneck trailer with your tailgate in the upright position without having to lower it and you can still get coupled to it. One thing that our customers like about this is that the primed powder coat finish that we have on here is paintable, so you can have it painted to match the color of your truck. The steel construction of your tailgate means that it's a very sturdy piece, and it'll last a very long time. The vented open design that we have on the tailgate offers superior visibility so when we're backing up to our trailer, we can see it a lot easier to ensure that our coupler is lined up with our fifth wheel or the ball on our gooseneck.To open our tailgate is super easy.

This is going to be an economical solution for someone who uses their fifth wheel all the time. This way you've got full access to your fifth wheel while your trailer's hooked up, and you don't need to worry about coming into contact with your tailgate.Now, there are releases for the latches here, so you can still open your tailgate if you need to. Pull each one individually, and it will lay down and rest on your bumper. Now, if you want, you can drill a hole and reattach your original cable. It comes with a black primed finish, which already looks great with our black truck here but can be painted to match any color truck.The large opening at the top of your tailgate is going to measure about 34 inches, and the opening at the middle of the tailgate is going to be about 14-1/4 inches.

Tailgate Questions and Answers

How to Determine the Difference Between the New and Classic Body Styles for a 2007 Chevy Silverado
The easiest way to tell the difference between the 2007 Chevy Silverado Classic and New Body Style is the tail gate or the tail lights. The new body style will have a large Chevy bow tie emblem in the center of the tail gate. It will also have red tail light assemblies. Take a look at the parts I have linked that show the new body style and the classic body style. If you have a classic model, you will need to use # VGM-99-4000. I do not believe the new body applied to the 2500 and 3500...

Recommended Trailer Ramp/Gate Lift Assist For Utility Trailer with Custom Solid Gate/Ramp
For a trailer gate that weighs more than 300 lbs, I recommend using two of the Rack'Em Double Barrel Utility Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist w/ Chain - 200 lbs # RA-27C. If it is right at 300 lbs, I recommend the Gorilla-Lift Utility Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist w/ Cable - 300 lbs # GL1 as a more economical alternative for your custom made gate/ramp.

How to Tell the Difference Between 2007 Chevy or GMC Silverado or Sierra Old and New Body Styles
To determine if your 2007 GMC Sierra is the old or the new body style all you have to do is look at the back of the truck. If it is the old body style (Classic) then it will have amber turn signal lenses at the rear tail lights. New body style models will not have amber lenses and will also have a large logo in the center of the tailgate. I have included a picture showing old and new body styles side by side. The trucks are Silverados but the same differences apply to the Sierras. If...

Could the DeeZee Tailgate Assist # DZ43301 be Removed Easily for Tailgate Removal
Once installed the DeeZee Tailgate Assist # DZ43301 could be pretty easily removed so that you could take your tailgate off for your camper.

Trailer Tailgate Latch Recommendations For Trailer Pulled by a Dodge Ram Pickup
While the Gorilla Lift Utility Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist # GL1 is a sturdy product that reduces the lift force needed to close the gate as well as slows the gates opening, I must recommend that you always have a latch or lock on your trailer. The Gorilla Lift by itself is not enough to keep the gate to your trailer closed while traveling. If you need a tailgate latch for your trailer, I recommend the Redline Bolt-On Stainless Steel Spring Latch # SL716SS. It features a stainless steel...
