DEE ZEE DZ43206 Tailgate Assist Fits 19-Current Ford Ranger

It works fine, but you can get it for $20 less on Amazon, and it's only $35 on Dee Zee's website.

It took me about ten minutes to install this and it works perfectly. THE ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO ADVISE YOU ON IS TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A TORX DRIVE, ESPECIALLY A T-DRIVE. 50 to remove the bolts supplied by the manufacturer. I noticed that other model truck kits included one (at least it appeared to), but I assumed this one would as well. Fortunately, Amazon sells them as well, and I bought a set for $10 (they're now $13 and change), and they arrived quickly. In any case, I can't speak to the long-term viability of this, but it appears to be functional and simple to set up. The torx key set can be found at this link:

On an F-150, I've installed one similar to this. I've never had a 150 before, and even though the Ranger tailgate isn't particularly heavy, I think it's a good idea to have one in case you slip while lowering it. I did find a helpful video online that walks you through the installation process, which I believe is superior to the instructions that came with the damper. With the addition of a Ford part number sticker on the back of the packaging, it also clearly states that this is the exact product you'll get if you order it from Ford. I'd rather save the extra $20 Ford was going to charge me, and this was already in stock. br>br>Overall, it took me 15 minutes to install the new bracket last night, and that was with me taking my time. The instructions state to remove both bolts from the tailgate hinge before installing the new bracket - which I did. However, the video suggests mounting the plate one at a time, which I believe is a better option because you won't have to worry about realigning the tailgate to the hinge while doing so. In my opinion, it simply facilitates the process. I used a T-shaped socket in any case. To remove the tailgate cable, you'll need a 50 socket (which you can get at any hardware store) and a small flat blade screwdriver. It's that easy. I simply lifted the tailgate slightly and clipped it on the side bracket to make attaching the piston easier. The gate is now coming down slowly and steadily - no slams.

I had a minor injury from my tailgate slamming into my leg, so I knew I needed something, and this product was the ideal solution to my problem. This small kit came with fairly detailed instructions and was very simple to put together. Most importantly, the product catches the tailgate just as it starts to fall and easily slows it down without any banging or interference with the operation. If you have a Ford (2019-2020 model year), 20) Ranger, you really should have this product, especially if you have children who might be near the arc of the tailgate's fall.

The issue is that when the box is closed, the cable catches on the lower mount plate and is pushed into the box. To direct the tailgate cable past the plate as the tailgate closes, I placed a piece of gorilla tape over the plate at the top. I'm thinking of removing it and grinding the upper end on a slope to get rid of the tape that's stuck to my tailgate. When installing the gas shock, it was a little challenging to extend it by hand. I've put two of these on other trucks and haven't had any issues. I initially believed I had a faulty gas shock, but when I reefed on it, it exploded. Now it's working like a charm!.

This item isn't necessary on the Ranger because the tailgate is fairly light, but it does make it a little nicer. You simply open it and let it slowly come down, which is one of the features I liked about the GMC I almost purchased. It simply improves the situation. The two bolts on the tailgate hinge are removed one at a time, so I keep them in a small bag in the truck behind the seat in case I ever want to remove it or it breaks. This is a great little truck that can be upgraded for a reasonable price.

) Don't get me wrong: I'm a big believer in the power of positive thinking This is a fantastic addition to my truck (and one that I wish came standard). But, after all these years, you'd think they'd have figured out how to make a shock assist that works in sub-zero temperatures. My own was set up in the garage at work. Easy. It was an excellent solution. In 14 degrees, I left to return home. weather. When I returned home, I demonstrated how well it worked for my wife. Ha. To fully extend down, it took nearly a minute. The wife, on the other hand, was not pleased. It's been working better now that the temperature has risen above freezing. I remember seeing this issue a long time ago, but it's now 2021. Oh, I completely forgot about that. By this time, we were supposed to all have jetpacks. Overall, having it on the truck when the temperature is above freezing is still convenient. However, a full range temperature might be a good idea. It's possible that lubricant will assist. Switching to it would be worth the extra 30 cents to me.

Los huecos en la tapa trasera son perfectos y se encuentran bien, pero en cuanto al hueco que debe ir en la parte superior (detras del faro trasero), los huecos de la version americana no son iguales a los de la version latinoamericana, en teoria tiene marcado donde debe ir, pero justo all.
