This was super easy to install, it makes opening the tailgate super easy and it doesn't have any noise. It makes the tailgate come down slow so it doesn't just slam down and I will be buying another one for my other truck! It fits perfect!

Made this work in my 2005 Cadillac Escalade EXT... modification required to tail gate bracket..had to make bracket flat and then installed nut until head was flush with top of bolt and grind both down to about half the nut. Cleared tail gate and works as intended.

Este producto sirve para toyota hilux modelo 2023. Solo se utilizó el gato, el resto de accesorios no fueron necesarios. Se usaron los accesorios del gato viejo. La puerta baja muy suave.

Update 11/16/2023: The seller has reached out to me and issued a full refund. I am updating this review just to include this information. Due to the good customer service, I am changing my rating from 1 star to 4 stars. Keep in mind, they did not ask me to change my review, nor was it a condition of my refund to do so. All they did was reach out and ask if I wanted a refund or a new product, I opted for the refund since I had already purchased a new tailgate assist of a different brand for my truck. The original review remains unedited below. Obviously, I was pretty angry when I wrote it, but I'm happy everything worked out in the end.I bought one of these a few months ago for my 2004 GMC Sierra 1500. It worked alright for a while, until it didn't. Several weeks ago, it completely stopped working. I opened my tailgate and let it fall, as I had grown accustomed to doing, and the tailgate slammed down with zero resistance. After returning to this page and noticing some of the absolutely ridiculous claims this company is making, I decided to make a review on it. 1) Despite what they're telling you, it's not going to make it easier to close your tailgate, it only slows the tailgate down when you open it and helps prevent it from slamming (Until it breaks, that is).2) Claiming it (and I quote) "extend(s) the service life of the entire back end of your vehicle" is such an insanely outrageous claim that it's almost humorous. I don't think I need to elaborate on that.3) "Rest Easy: This will be the only tailgate shock your truck will ever need. Tested and durable" How much testing did it take to make a product that completely fails after a few months?4) "Orion Motor Tech backs it with a lifetime warranty and after-sales service." Conveniently, there doesn't seem to be any contact information listed where I could take advantage of this "lifetime warranty" and get a replacement for my faulty product. And with a $20 price tag, they're clearly bluffing anyway. Surely if you backed your product and did that much testing to ensure your product was extremely durable, you'd provide contact information or some kind of instruction to talk to customer service, right? Because if you have a superior product, you know not many people will need it, but out of the few that would, it's all about customer feedback. But if you make claims like this and don't back it up, obviously it's because your product is trash.Overall, ignoring the fact that it didn't last very long at all, I actually liked this product a lot. Initially when I installed it, the support cable on the tailgate would get pushed out of the gap, to where it was sticking outside, as some others have mentioned. Turns out it was just because I tightened one of the bolts when it was supposed to be left loose, and loosening the bolt fixed the problem.As tempted as I am to buy another one of these for only $20, I don't see the point in waiting for it to break. If I have to cradle my tailgate every time I open it, anticipating that inevitable moment it stops working, then what's the point in using this product in the first place?Overall, I would not recommend this product. If you do buy it, buy it as a gift for someone you don't like, and in a few months they'll slam their tailgate when the product fails.

Works great makes it easy to open my tail gate.

The media could not be loaded. This video was taken after two weeks of the product being installed. My boyfriend purposely bought this since he works out of his truck. I contacted customer service about the defect and they promised to send a replacement. It is going on almost a month since I contacted them and still no replacement part! I have followed up three separate times now with zero response. Poor quality products and even worse customer service. I would avoid these products/company!

Love it opening my tailgate is very easy now

Eventually your tailgate will become crookedly uneven, and won’t look quite closed on the side that doesn’t have the shock. After 2 -3 years of having it, now I need a new tail gate
