Get one! - So why I didn’t purchase this years ago for my ‘20 F-150 is beyond me. My wife’s ‘23 F-150 has had it from the get go and I liked it so much that it was a no brainer. Same brand, same parts, straight forward, no hassle, works great! Instructions were clear and I know when searching that there anre plenty of instructional videos available. I did this with a shattered ball socket and broken humerus on my non dominant arm (basically useless), install taking about 10-15 minutes. Comes with everything needed and the tool but I cheated as I had the star/allen head sockets with a wrench handy as I was not at the time. I can attest that it’s been wonderful not having to assist the tailgate from slamming down or risk injuring the arm in doing so. Probably one of the cheapest and satisfying upgrades you can do for your truck. Review: Great quality, fits 2018 F150 XLT perfectly - I instated this on my 2018 F150 XLT tailgate and it fits and works perfect. It comes with grease in the connections and pops on easy. Very great quality and build and improves your tailgate to a true soft drop. ## Features - Easy on Your Hands: Even hands-free, Orion Motor Tech's tailgate assist safely and smoothly controls the drop rate of your pickup's tailgate, making it safer and easier to use; it also acts as a tailgate lift and makes your tailgate easier to close - Gentle Tailgate Control: Say goodbye to strain and shock from free-fall tailgates! Our tailgate damper minimizes stress on cables and hinge points, extending the life of your truck's back end - Built to Last: This tailgate assist is constructed of structural-grade 45 steel electroplated for outstanding strength, durability, and corrosion resistance - Wide Compatibility: Our tailgate assist is specially designed for compatibility with Ford F-150 models from 2015 to 2025.
