  • Huge improvement on how the tailgate operates
Easy Installation, totally changes the way I now use my tailgate this is a great product at a low price!

  • Excellent product to save you from dropping the gate
Easy to install and works perfectly. The tailgate now opens smoothly and steadily. Very nice addition to the tailgate. You have to remove the tailgate anchor point because it won’t allow it to close, so you lose that feature. But you seldomly use those anyways.

  • Works well
It seems to be holding up well. Very easy to install. The only issue was there was a clip attached to my tailgate from the factory that I had to remove that wasn’t in the instructions.

  • Works as expected.
Helps hold your tailgate from dropping down to fast. Was easy to install and worked as expected. So happy with the purchase.

  • Works as promised Works as promised
Easy to instal, basically common sense and takes less than 5 min. You need 10mm socket or wrench and a 5mm Allen. It lowers the tailgate quickly and gently, and raising takes no more effort than before. Came with thread lock too. There is some noise at the bottom end of the stroke on but nothing crazy at all. Will update if I have any issues ... show more

  • Easy install
I like the product and even though the cable is wrapped in a form of plastic it still rubs. It was easy to install. It works great. I just don’t like the cable ripping the strut.

  • 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. ... show more
