Tailgates on full-size trucks drop fast and drop hard, and the Ranger is no exception. Rough Country's Tailgate Assist installs on the driver side of your 2019-2023 Ranger and uses your factory cables to slow and control the descent, so the gate lowers smoothly every time you pull the handle. No more bracing for impact, no two-handed wrestling, no slammed fingers.
Controlled drop, every time. The assist mechanism works in tandem with the existing factory cable setup, adding progressive resistance that eases the tailgate down at a safe, consistent rate. The result is a one-handed, controlled open that makes loading and unloading noticeably more convenient.
Built from A1018 plate steel. The bracket and components are stamped from A1018 plate steel for durability that holds up to regular truck use. A powder coat finish resists corrosion so the hardware stays clean under the tailgate where it lives.
No drilling, no fabrication. The tailgate assist mounts directly to the driver side using factory attachment points. All necessary hardware is included in the box, and the entire install wraps up in roughly 30 minutes with basic hand tools. One assist per truck is all that is required.
