Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock for Toyota Trucks
I bought this because I had a damaged OEM tailgate. It arrive with the packaging intact, but one of the mounting points tweaked. It only took a minor quick bend of the metal for this to go on and it looks great. Installed on an 07 Tundra that I use to tow a Reflection 230RL fifth wheel. I’m a little disappointed that the locking/latching mechanism doesn’t have the spring tension to reset itself (you have to manual turn the latch nob for the tailgate to latch close after it’s been opened). But otherwise very happy with both the product and the customer service at etrailer! Would buy again and would buy from etrailer.
Very nice looking product. Fairly easy to install but package was missing the two bolts (MS-125) that hold the tailgate straps to the tailgate. Required a quick trip to Ace Hardware to complete. Also one of the side panel receiver clips (where the screw attaches) stripped out and the left side latch had about a quarter inch free play that allows the gate to rattle. Even after adjusting the truck bed post and the gate lock as far in as possible.

Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate - Open Design - Toyota
I bought this tailgate to replace the one that came with my truck a year ago and it is working well , it has improved my rear vision when backing , I drive on some washboard roads and it latches as well today as it did on the first day ,my only negative thing is it arrived with damage to the top corners so a little more padding would help .
only problem I have had was the rust on the opening latches... a good rust removal and a heavy dose of WD-40 solved that. and I do keep it on all the time. like the view when backing up.

Louvered Tailgate Insert for Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate
Easy install, fast shipping.
Great addition to the tailgate. It really brings out the look of your Stromberg Carlson 4000 Tailgate. I have never been one to stand on my tailgate. I always use a step ladder so this will last me a lifetime. Very happy with this purchase.

TrailSeal Tailgate Gasket- A Tight Tailgate Seal
Overall the product works and is nice. But it doesn't seal the upper sides of my tailgate at all-a 2006 Toyota Tundra. The top 3-4 inches of bed curve, so there is nowhere to put the seal. I wish they made a part to compensate for this-as I doubt my truck is the only one made like this.
Followed the instructions when I received the product a year ago. The seal has stayed secured, even after heavy usage. Am very pleased with the quality and durability of the product.

Tailgate word perfectly for my needs, I live in northwestern New Mexico and use it spring to fall for 5 th wheel convenience during hookup and dropping trailer. The light weight and v shape eliminates much of the fear of baking normal tailgate into trailer. I don’t have to drop tailgate to hook up. Was difficult to sand rubber inserts to fit on initial install but I got it done, also doesn’t provide theft deterrent from bed as the v opens enough for hand to reach latch on by backflip tonneau cover however I knew that would be the case before I purchased. I am totally satisfied with my tailgate.
Excellent item. Fits perfectly. Just like our old one. Thank you!

TruXedo Universal Tailgate TruxSeal - 10 ft
Seal installed easily With exception of sidewall seal on my 2019 Ford Ranger Lariat. Big gap between sidewall and tailgate, Resorted to putting seal next to the taillight assembly as shown in pictures, no gaps between tailgate and seal.
worked great for about 10 opening and closings of the tail gate, then the large "bottom" piece started coming off. now a year later, the bottom piece is off and I have a dusty truck bed. yay gravel road life....

Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock for Ford Trucks
One of the drawbacks is finding out that you can't retain the camera from your Ford tailgate. (I suspect this will work on other non-Ford tailgates also.) I simply removed the camera and wiring harness from the original tailgate, stuffed the cable back through the frame's exit hole and then trimmed the left side of the grommet as depicted in the photo to make room for the 90 degree electrical connection to the camera (left side). The camera is then a press fit into the plastic grommet and doesn't require any other mounting screws or glue. As you can see from the photo, the field of view is excellent. This is a free and easy fix for customers who might want to retain their camera without an expensive accessory kit.
This tailgate looks great and works great. The instructions are easy to follow for the installation. It took me about 20 minutes to complete the installation process. I recommend the Carlson Stromberg 4000 series tailgate.

I was told this tailgate cannot be painted,well yes it can be just use a flex agent in base and clear.
Quite straight forward to install. Good bang for the buck if you don't need much weight loaded on the tailgate. Used with the Husky Backup Camera Relocation Kit on my 2013 F-150. Simple mod to the camera kit (cut off lower wire cover and use longer screws to attach to gate where you want it.) Camera is wide angle enough that placement isn't that critical.

The cutout for the gooseneck needs to be lower. We really have to crank up our trailer to clear the tail gate.
Perfect fit. Good quality. Zero issues.

TrailSeal Full Bed Protection for 2007 to 2019 Chevy and GMC Pickups
After reading instructions twice we installed lower seat for tailgate to 19 1/2 in. mark. Then installed right upright seal(see pic). After checking fit we installed left seal putting it on radius. Much better fitting seal. Had to put seal(excess from upright) on tailgate near latch(zee pic) to try to fill gaps at top of tailgate. Installed on 2018 Chevy silverado. Hope pic go through.
Very disappointed, at first it worked great then the lower seal fell off and hanging within 8 months. I installed this per instructions on a brand new from the dealer truck with a tonue cover.

This was a gift for my husband. The measurements weren't looking correct for the tailgate. Called customer support and Kelly was most helpful about which one to order. It was a perfect fit and easy to install. Shipping was quick.
One year ago I purchased this model tailgate for my 2003 Silverado. I found immediately that delivery of it as without exception the fastest. This tailgate made the act of hooking and unhooking from my 5th wheel trailer was simplified tremendously. The visual of the Pin lining up with the hitch was very clear. The Tailgate did require some minor assembly by me however minimal tools were all that was needed for the assembly. This took a mere 30 minutes for me to perform and the tailgate fit perfectly. It still looks great to this day and performs excellently. I recommend this product without reservation.

Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock for Dodge Trucks
After I installed this tailgate, I can never go back to the original! The photo speaks for itself. East assembly with no adjustment for proper fit. Installed on 11-1 more than 10 compliments on 11-2. A must have even if you don’t have a 5th wheel..
For the price this is a decent tailgate. It is a good looking tailgate, has a lock which is important to me install while not difficult, could have been made easier with better instructions. Closing is not as crisp as I would like and a far cry from the OEM tailgate. Still in all it should serve my needs to allow easy hookup with my 5th wheel and to keep gear in the truck bed while traveling. For those looking for an inexpensive but decent tailgate this is a good choice.

Tail gate is ok the Curt plate and A20 fifth wheel hitch are amazing! Lori in customer service is awesome!!!!
I really like the product, seems well build and easy to install, the directions that came with are of not much value but some common sense and the tailgate is fairly simple to install with very little adjustments needed.

I had to cut out my sewer hose bumper. The receiver hitch would not lower enough to clear it.
Thank you Amy for getting me to the right tailgate. Love the design!

This tailgate is very high quality, better than I hoped for. Installation was easy and no parts missing. Looks great on my truck!
Hello etrailer staff! My tailgate arrived in a timely fashion but the journey was hard on the box and packing inside the box. UPS beat up on the box to the point of some of the contents are still in a truck or warehouse. I called etrailer and spoke with Noah. He assured me that he would get the missing parts in the mail and I would have all I needed to mount my tailgate. Noah was good to his word. Parts arrived today and the tailgate is mounted. The tailgate should be fine. Thank you Noah and all etrailer Staff. You did a fine job for me and my old 2001 Duramax Chevy.
