For the money compared to a brand new factory part this replacement is absolutely worth it. The weight of the unit is comparable to the factory part and based on pulling measurements off of the factory part the fit is right on. The hinges cups were right on and needed no adjustment. The latches and hardware all seemed of pretty good quality and finish and needed very minor adjustment. I made the effort to check all the fasteners for tight although maybe only one of them needed any additional torque. The paint color was dead on and of good quality beyond a few very minor runs at the lowest edges of the tailgate and a few inclusions in the paint. There was a minor scuffing from the shipping packaging on the highest face of the tailgate but it appears that it will buff out quite easily. The only problems were a SLIGHTLY ill-fitting handle assembly due to the fixed bracket position inside the tailgate. This was MINOR on my unit and I adjusted half of the discrepancy out very easily in 5 min. Also, the tailgate cables were of different lengths enough that only one is carrying the weight of the tailgate when down. All things considered, I’m totally happy with the purchase. The order process was easy and the turnaround time given that it was painted to match my vehicle was surprisingly fast (I would have been happy if it had taken 2-3 days longer if the paint had cured a little longer to avoid scuffing in transport).Read full review

I purchased this tailgate knowing it was a lesser quality than factory, BUT did not think it was as light duty as it is. When I received it had shipping marks on the paint and the latch was mounted crooked. I was going to return it but then it slid of my saw horse and scratched it so i fixed that and buffed out the paint also fixed the latch. Installed it think all was good but you could feel how flimsy it is when you step on it (I'am 275lbs so I know a bit more than the average). a short while later i was loading some cut logs (big ones) and it bent a little. It later bent again but i don't know what I was doing when it happen. It looks nice but for someone who uses there truck i wouldn't recommend, should have spent the extra money for a factory tailgate.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of after market tailgate and the matching of the paint was amazing. I provided the paint code and they matched it perfectly. The clear coat was applied properly. It was package appropriately and was double boxed with styrofoam in between. It arrived unscathed. It took about 3 hours to remove my old tailgate and transfer the latching mechanisms and emblems from the old tailgate to the new tailgate. It was an exact fit. And the price was right!

Very good quality, easy to install, looks brand new, got to me before projected time. 10 out of 10 would recommend. Just needs a good wash and wax when received (has a scratch prevent powder).

Received my pre-painted tailgate for my F250 and it came protected in sturdy packaging and in a timely manner. Ordered the cap separately and needed new emblems as well. This would be a good option for consumers who would like a 100% complete tailgate. But even with that, I would give these guys 10 🌟 stars!
