Excellent value and ease of installation...
The media could not be loaded. Nice addition to my F150 for under $20 (March 2025). My driver side hinge cup broke off the tailgate due to rust. I welded the cup back on, but figured one of these assists would help soften the landing and prevent future shock/breakage at the hinge. Installation was relatively easy for an experienced mechanic. The tailgate ball/stud uses an existing hole so no drilling or guessing if you have in the right location. The included setting tool is actually one of the nicer I've used, the bearing disc sandwiched between the tool and insert is genius (I'll be using it again on another application). Function of the assist is as expected, with the tailgate open about 40-50% the assist slows the drop and softens the landing. For $20 it does very well.

makes easy opening
it was very easy to install and to open and close the tailgate, durability seems decent but nothing you would want to beat on very much where the ball hooks into the shock. it looks and functionating great when properly installed though.

Worth the money
Works great!! Tail gate now opens slow on its own. No more slamming tailgate!! I bought two of these and put one on each side of tailgate. Bought these after wife accidentally slammed opened my tailgate while my trailer was connected. The jack crank on my trailer lines up perfectly with the tailgate camera. Luckily the camera didn't shatter. This is a small investment for a costly camera. Thanks Ford for not putting these on at the factory on a $100,000 truck!!

Works great, easy install.
Easy to install, all needed tools are included except the torx bit to remove the bottle opener/tiedown from the side of the tailgate. It works great to nicely dampen the tailgate as it drops down

Works Great
It does a great job making opening tailgate easy to open on our 2025 Ford Maverick. Very easy to install.

Almost works too well
Install was easy and straightforward, it does the job perfectly - the light maverick tailgate is almost too light for this shock - it lowers VERY slowly. I mean it just works a bit too well. Good problem to have I guess.
