Not only that, but this tailgate cap also looks stylish and adds a bit of flair to your truck’s rear end.

Look great and work even better!
I was looking for a good tie down method for camping and dump runs etc. I bought a heavy duty spider web type net. These are PERFECT for accepting a caribener. Job of tying down is so much easier and I have gotten many compliments with and without a load. I am a very happy camper!

Easy-Peasy Install
Very simple install. After you remove the drivers side tail light it snaps right in. It works as it should.

At first I was excited until I received the product and at first thought I had ordered the wrong product cause I thought I was missing parts. I then read the instructions and followed the steps and when I took out the driver's side taillight then I realized that the missing parts already was installed on the truck. Difficult part was removing the 2 plastic retainer clips that help hold the taillight assembly. Overall, super happy and glad I went with this easy addition to the truck. Makes lowering the tailgate with easy when your hands are full and don't have to worry about the tale gate slamming open!

This product was easy to install. The pictures in the instructions are very clear and easy to understand. I’d rate it a about a 3 in technical skills an mechanical skills to install it as you have to take the tail light off to install it. Other than that. Works great. Recommend it.

Easy installation, works as intended. I haven’t noticed any difference in the tailgate dropping any faster than when it was initially installed a year ago.
