What are you waiting for? 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.

Must-Have Upgrade for F-150 Owners – Smooth, Safe Tailgate Operation!
I recently installed the Orion Motor Tech Tailgate Assist on my 2015 F-150, and I’m absolutely thrilled with how it’s improved the tailgate operation. As an F-150 owner, I love the truck, but the tailgate always made it a bit of a hassle when I was opening or closing it. This Tailgate Assist kit has solved that issue perfectly. Here’s why: Easy Installation: The installation was straightforward and didn’t require any special tools or professional help. I followed the included instructions, and within 15 minutes, the tailgate assist was installed. It fits perfectly on my 2015F-150, and the whole process was very simple. Smooth Operation: This tailgate assist makes opening and closing the tailgate feel effortless. No more worrying about the heavy tailgate slamming down or having to lift it with extra effort. The assist ensures that it opens slowly and closes gently, making it a lot safer and more convenient, especially when my hands are full. Sturdy and Reliable: The quality of the materials is excellent. The gas strut feels very sturdy and well-made, and I have no doubt it will last for years. It’s designed to handle the weight of the tailgate without any issues, and the strut has a strong, smooth action every time I use it.

Perfect to save kids fingers from being pinched
Bought this for my truck to keep the kids safe when they are opening and closing the tailgate every day. I put one on my truck and haven’t had to worry about the kids pinching or slamming their fingers since. If you have kids or if you have friends or family who treat your truck tailgate like it’s a game to slam open then this will solve the problem and stop them from beating on your truck!
