You can trust the Dee Zee Tailgate Assist because it works with your factory cables, not in place of them, and has been specifically designed for heavy-duty use. Easy to hook up, with no drilling required, install yours on your truck and keep your rig in good health.

Don't jeopardize your truck's long-term effectiveness. Use a Dee Zee Tailgate Assist and never again worry about opening your tailgate. Backed by a 3-Year Warranty.

This is not good for a 2022 Ford F150. They added two tie-downs on the tailgate. I use them to tie down 4x8 sheets of plywood. I called the Dee Zee company and was told that you have to remove the left one. It never said that anywhere. I would not have purchased that if I knew that. I exchanged it for one for my 2019 Ford Ranger. Good product made well, easy to install, looks good.
