Thank, you that helped me make up my mind to order one of these now that you've shown how to do it. The fact that its inside rather than outside like the Dee Zee's have been makes it even better.

Thanks for the video. I bought this for my 2016 F150, followed your lead and it was as simple as you show to install. Instantly changed the use of my tailgate and made it much safer for my 8 year daughter to open. Thanks!

Definitely appreciate the video. I just bought it today not knowing that the tailgate needed to be removed. I was not going to install, until I saw you single handedly lift out and re-install the tailgate by yourself. I didn't realize that it was that light. Thanks to you, I installed it in about 15 minutes!

That was a great video. Thanks. I got tools and parts set up and it LITERALLY took me 15 min. max. Only problem I had was the torx bolts on the original hinge were really tight on mine. So just to be safe I took my time loosening, one then the other, back & forth until they were free. Install after that was 2 minutes. Thanks again. It works great!

Used your video for the installation on a 2016 XLT - thanks! Few additional comments I can add, hopefully it helps someone else: easy job, as easy as the video makes it look. Do not begin without the T50 torx driver. They used some kind of lock-tite on the two bolts on my copy. Friggin tough to get them out, had to work them slowly. My buddy just bought a 2017 Ram, the tailgate has a tg assist piston on each hinge - thought that was cool. C'MON FORD!!!

HINTS: T50 adaptor found at Autozone for $4.95. When you reinstall the new part, make sure it is setting exactly where the old one was, you can tell by the paint. It has lots of play, and if you don't seat it just right, your tailgate won't latch properly.

Matthew Fant ~2019 ( maybe or AMAZON AFTERMARKET AT $750.00? ) personally: if I DIY I'll replace the bulb(s) with LED BULBS. PLURSL BECAUSE IS WILL LOOK STRANGE WIT A BRIGHTER PASSENGER TAIL LIGHT WITH A DIFFRENT LIGHT FREQUENCY THAN THE DRIVER SIDE? DON'T FORGET THW DEALER "SYRFACE RESTORATION" AND/IR "SPRAY IN LINER RESTORATION" KIT @ $ 480.00 2015 DOLLARS , 2017 IS: ("I DON'T WANNA KNOW AND 12 CENTS?) OR IT WILL Void YOUR WARRANTEE? OR start an non-engineered or an un authorized modification that will let the insurance company's, their lawyers and the court PERSONEL something to do if any thing happens? I'm going to do it myself anyway! What the people behind me can't see they can't hit by early braking, 64% of the time? PS "Good question" Check with RV stores for the bulb conversions, they worked great on my travel trailer and extra marker lights most people don't tail gate as close as they used to! 😉 Not to mention a third or less of the battery drain/load!

Does your tailgate still have the automatic lock. When you arm the truck? I have a 2016 cult and when I arm my truck the tailgate automatically locks. I want to add the tailgate assist but I don't want to lose the automatic lock when arming.

Just installed mine but all I needed to do was put the piston part in. The other part was already in the truck so I did not have to remove the tailgate. Mine is a 2015 XLT. Wonder why Ford doesn't just sell the piston for those that have the other part already on their truck. Better yet, why only include part of it on the truck already without the complete assembly - one isn't any good without the other. Oh well.

Great video, hope it will go as smoothly as this for mine? Ford is pregnant with a 2017 F-150 XLT but was told this was not a" factory add on or order" at this time? Service said, I paraphrases that :" no part or "kit" # exists for the 2017 ,yet or a shop time element? Shop time is: $148.00 hr rounded to the 0.5 hr for customer in excess of one hr (which the 2016 kit is) but as of yet; the Detroit LOTTERY haven't released the winning #. "IF" I DECIDE TO ORDER THE 2016 KIT AND IT DOESN'T FIT I MAY GET "STUCK" WITH IT#1 AND MAY NOT FIT OR BE WARANTEED#2 AND if a spray in liner is or is not a"surface Restoration kit (2016 $ $102.xx " plus drying time" and labor @$148.09 waiting? if a Spray in factory liner applied ($ 157.00 +/- and labor time; rounded to one hr.) or parts, body and liner warrantee will be void? I've got a call into :"HENRY'S P.R. CENTER" but nothing yet? If it "might fit 2017 or will fit 2017" I may DO it myself and use "after market" Acme "SPIT" UNIVERSAL protection and black Rust-Oleum base coat with blue touch up paint part # I DON'T CARE" UNDER A PHONY NAME AND VIN# SO IF MY TRUCK BREAKS I HALF, MY WARRANTEE MAY REMAIN INTACT UNTIL; Detroit's forensic investigation unit testifies before the SCOTUS that they didn't do it? I guess the trick is not to leave fingerprints or DNA behind until the warrantee runs out or you run out of broken fingers, carpal tunnel surgery, othroscopic shoulder procedures or HENRY'S DETROIT R&D RELENTS ON THE OPTION WITH A 2018 TRADE IN? MEANWHILE I'LL PRACTICE OPENING THE GATE FROM ON TOP OF AND INSIDE THE BED USING A SAFETY HARNESS CONNECTED TO THE 302A package locking tie down mounts and using the LED BED LIGHTS BEFORE I INSTALL THE BED CAP FOR MY PET AND LOSS OF CURRANT VAN DRY CARGO SPACE? I'M STILL CALCULATING THE HELIUM FILLED BALLOON ALLEGORICAL THEORY AND WIND VELOCITY KITE VARIABLES? SURE DO WISH IT WERE A"FACTORY OPTION" ADD ON TO THE $53,762.XX MSRP? MAYBE I CAN RECOUP SOME OF THE EXPENSES BY SELLING THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ON EBAY ; for someone who has never had a hydraulic tail gate or hasn't broken any fingers or other arm injuries or can't wait to replace the $1237.00 plus labor back up camera? I also must consider the trailer assist @ $ I have no idea plus labor replacement and or recalibration. PROGRESS? Thanks for the video it was linked from a comment on an AMAZON retrofit 2015 MODEL Aftermarket kit; FOR $49.00, FREE PRIME SHIPPING that didn't fit? 😨
