  • The bolt removal tool furnished with kit may not work.
Model: 43207
I got the tail gate kit. Everything was in the box for installing. It was easy to install with one small problem. The tool for removing the cable bolt did not fit very well to remove the bolt. I got my adjustable wrench out, within a minute l had the bolt out. Everything was smooth after that and got the tailgate lowering hookup completed. It works great and no dropping of the tailgate. It was lowering slow and easy.8 ... show more

  • Perfect fit
Model: 43206
Easy to install and works great! Comes with required torx bit but not Allen key, luckily I had one that fit in my toolbox.

  • Easy install
Model: 43205
Easy install and works great at slowly lowering the tailgate. Doesn’t rub or hit on anything. Instructions were easy to follow. You’ll most likely need a star socket on a 3/8” ratchet to remove top bolt as the tool they provided will not give you enough leverage. Took me about 15 minutes to install.

  • Slow and easy
Model: 43200
The system works great, exactly as stated and exactly what I wanted. Installation was quick and simple. The reason it got 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the star wrench. Before attempting to install i seen It was nowhere near the right size to remove the existing bolt on my 2004 F150. It fit the supplied bolt very loosely. Not many people have a key this size in there tool box, I ended up buying a set at harbor freight for 9$ instead of a single for 4 at local auto parts but I figured I would be likely to use the smaller pics in the set eventually. Once I had what I needed Installation was a breeze and no further issues. ... show more

  • For 2022-2024 only, listing was incorrect. Quality product aside from that. (Fixed)
Model: 43207
Product was well packaged, thick steel, decent strut. However, it did not come with a star head wrench for the smaller screws for installation. That didn't matter, it does NOT fit the 2025 Model Year Ford Maverick. EDIT : Decided to take the bracket to work, got a smaller T-Nut to fit the hole and formed the round edge that goes around the hinge down a bit. Added some 1/32" padding behind the bottom bracket and tried it again. Works better now that the nut fits the hole, the bracket isn't riding on the hinge, and the unit swings freely between the tailgate and bedside. I was just going to return it, but my "I can make it work" side took over. I will say the brackets aren't low quality steel, they are decent quality and rather hard to grind. Side note, you may be able to have this work just fine in the packaging if you force the T-nut into the hole and allow the bracket to be wedge against the hinge. I'm rather particular about my installations so, it didn't fit in my eyes. Once modified, it works excellent! ... show more

  • Easy to install and works great.
Model: 43207
This is easy to install and works perfectly. Others listed here cost more but this one works fine and is well worth the money. Though the tailgate of the Maverick is fairly small and lightweight it is fairly easy to let it BANG(!) down. This keeps that from happening. Using Locktite on the bolts when installing will help keep them tight and everything secure and lined up correctly. ... show more

  • Works great easy install !
Model: 43207
Easy install. Top mounting bracket was very tight but the included torx tool got it off. Bottom bracket easy install with the included allen tool, just be sure to put the bolt on the screw enough before you put the bolt in, so it doesn't fall off into the bed! Also use locktite or nail polish or something on the bolt to keep it tight. Bottle opener / tie down removal tool not included so you'll need a different size torx. Shock install at the end simple, but push the ends on don't hammer them in! Bed drops a little bit before the shock takes over. Open slowly as designed no noise or bang. Cheaper alternative to DeeZee and some others, and I don't like that Ford Accessories ship to the dealer for pick up! ... show more

  • Works alright. Instructions meh.
Model: 43207
Works. Requires removal of tailgate tiedown bracket. The instructions set you up for failure when installing the bracket to the tailgate. Don't try to hold the square nut inside of the tailgate, just put the bolt, washer, bracket, then square nut together with the nut only threaded on a few turns. Then you can put the entire assembly in at once and take up most of the slack of the bolt. Slide it all the way in, then pull out on the bracket to apply tension to it once it's turned appropriately. Tighten down from there. ... show more
