by:

Great addition to the tailgate. It really brings out the look of your Stromberg Carlson 4000 Tailgate. I have never been one to stand on my tailgate. I always use a step ladder so this will last me a lifetime.
Very happy with this purchase.



by:

Make quick release pins thanks. A little bit to pricey by itself, maybe include it with the tailgate?



by:

Quick installation. All components fit perfectly, making fit-up easy. Really happy with the overall look and functionality.



by:

Fit was very good on tailgate.looks good on truck



by:

Good for center security, but space between cover gives access to cover lock



by:

I originally purchased this tailgate to put on when I tow my Fifth Wheel trailer, but I like it and have left it on the pickup. I did order the part to cover the V opening in the tailgated so things I haul are more secure.



by:

I have not yet installed this, because it almost seems like it would be too much work to keep removing the hardware in order to use the tailgate for my 5th wheel...then reattaching it afterwards.



by:

It looks good on the 5th wheel tailgate. I don't haul a 5th wheel trailer. I put the insert on so it would look more like a regular tailgate.



by:

Fits into the tailgate ok but screwing down defeats the use of the tailgate. I plan on installing a U channel around the tailgate so that I can just drop it in place. Then put two or three snap in rivets to keep it in place. Making it easy to take in and out.



by:

Easy to install by following the instructions. I replaced the mounting screws with thumb screws so I do not need a screwdriver to remove it when hooking and unhooking from the trailer.



by:

Very nice add to the tail gate part. Easy to put on. I like the fact it covers the area that would be left open with just the 5th wheel gate.



by:

Early delivery; fits. Only minus is it installed with 12 bolts. A piano hinge, 2 barrel bolts and minor drilling modified it to work better (I need to not have to remove 12 bolts every time I hook and drop; sometimes every day.). Looks great; secures bed.



by:

Love the tailgate. On my black f350 it looks like a factory tailgate.



by:

This was the only part of the tailgate that was descent.



by:

Tailgate is what we wanted



by:

looks great on the truck with the tailgate i purchased with it



by:

Just as advertised. Good replacement for my bowed tail gate!



by:

like it for when I haul things in my truck when I do not have hitch in



by:

Ordered And recieved my vi400 in 4 days, installation took 15 min, looks great



by:

Easy installation... looks good!!



by:

Looks and fits well. I slotted the screw holes so I will not have to remove all the screws to remove and install. Quick install and remove with the slots installed. Fills the gap and looks good.



by:

Holes didn’t lineup correctly, slight modification and it works



by:

The V1 fits as advertied and was a 15 min. Install. Shipping was immediate and pricing is excellant. Thx.



by:

Great company, I ordered mu item and was processed and sent right away.



by:

looks great.

  • Recommended Tonneau Cover to Use with Louvered Tailgate on 2015 Ford F-350
    The Louvered Tailgate Insert # VI-4000 that you referenced will work perfectly to provide a finished look for the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Louvered Tailgate # VG-97-4000 on your 2015 Ford F-350 when you aren't towing. For a tonneau cover that will work great on your F-350 to further secure the bed and protect your cargo from the elements I recommend the Extang Trifecta Signature 2.0 Soft Folding Tonneau Cover # EX94720 if you have the 6-3/4 foot bed and # EX94725 if you have the 8 foot bed....

  • Recommended Louvered Tailgate For 2017 Ford F-250
    Not having room to open your tailgate fully when you are towing your fifth wheel hitch is not uncommon. What a lot of people do is remove the factory tailgate and replace it with a fifth wheel tailgate that has a cutout for the king pin. For your 2017 F-250 I recommend the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series Louvered Tailgate # VG-15-4000. This custom tailgate has louvers that help reduce drag. I have attached a link to an installation video for this tailgate you can check out. You can also...

  • Dimensions of Cut Out Portion of Fifth Wheel Tailge for 2017 Ford F-250
    For a 5th wheel style tailgate confirmed as a fit for your 2017 Ford F-250 you'd want the part # VG-15-4000 which is a confirmed fit. The notched out portion of the tailgate in the center is 12 inches tall. We have a way to replace the notched out portion of the tailgate too if ever needed with part # VI-4000.

  • 5th Wheel Tailgate with Lock Compatiblity with 2018 Ram 2500 Big Horn
    The Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock for Dodge Trucks # VGD-10-4000 is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Ram 2500 Big Horn truck. The cab size and bed size you mentioned will work fine. You may also be interested in the Louvered Tailgate Insert # VI-4000 or the Louver Insert Kit # 4000-V. These both are made specifically for this tailgate and provide a different appearance as well as additional security when not towing your 5th wheel trailer.

  • Will Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate VGD-02-4000 Fit a 2010 Dodge Ram 3500
    You would need the # VGD-10-4000 Stromberg Carlson 5th wheel tailgate for your 2010 Dodge Ram 3500. The # VGD-02-4000 tailgate you referenced will only fit Dodge Ram models up to 2009. If you would like to fill the cutout on the tailgate while you are not towing, we offer an insert, part # VI-4000. An insert kit, part # 4000-V, is also available if you would like to fill in the gaps between the louvers.

  • Covering the Open Parts of a 5th Wheel Tail Gate on a 2008 Dodge Ram
    If you have the Stromberg-Carlson 4000 series 5th wheel tail gate for your 2008 Dodge Ram, # VGD-02-4000, then you could use insert # VI-4000 and louver insert kit # 4000-V. This will be the best option for closing up the 4000 series 5th wheel tail gates. If you have a different 5th wheel tail gate there are no options.

  • 2001 Ford F-250 Super Duty Locking Louvered Tailgate
    The Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate # VG-97-100 doesn't have provisions for a lock on your 2001 Ford F-250 Super Duty but you can use the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate # VG-97-4000 instead which does have the lock. The 4000 uses a glass-filled, black composite plastic frame as opposed to the steel frame of the 100, but in addition to the lock on this louvered tailgate you can add the inserts # VI-4000 and # 4000-V to help protect the privacy...

    The Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock # VG-15-4000 is confirmed to work with your 2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty. It is not designed to have the backup camera attached, however. This is the only fifth wheel tailgate available for your truck, though it is a great option. It is made of powerfully strong composite plastic, will resist theft due to it's locking feature and is also made right here in the United States of America. Additionally, there is the option...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Tailgate For A 2005 Ford F-550 Lariat Crew Cab
    I spoke with Stromberg Carlson and they recommend the # VG-97-4000 that you were already looking at. There's also an insert # VI-4000 available if you want to have a full tailgate for hauling other items in the bed of your truck.

  • Can Stromberg Carlson VGD-02-4000 5th Wheel Tailgate Be Painted
    The Stromberg Carlson # VGD-02-4000 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate would be the correct fit for your truck. The tailgate itself isn't paintable, but the available louver insert kit, part # 4000-V can be painted, which would give a pretty cool look. There is also an upper insert, part # VI-4000 that can be painted as well. You can see the tailgate being installed on a 2003 Ram 3500 by clicking the provided link.

  • Can the Stromberg Carlson 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate for a 2014 Ford F-250/350 Be Painted
    The Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate part # VG-97-4000 which is a fit for a 2014 Ford F-250/F-350 can be paint matched to the vehicle. That said, if done so I would add the Louver Insert Kit part # 4000-V and the Louvered Tailgate Insert part # VI-4000 and have these painted as well for a very nice and clean finished install look. The finish of the product will all come down to proper prep work which is why this part would be best left to a professional.

  • Can Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch be Taller Than Max Height Settings for 2019 Chevy Silverado
    If you have the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # RP30890 set to max height and you are still needing some extra clearance when backing into your driveway then you either need to adjust the height settings of your pin box, install a 5th wheel tailgate like part # VGM-14-4000 for your 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500, raise the overall height of your trailer, or a combination of all 3 options. There is no way to make your M5 5th wheel hitch taller. I honestly like the louvered tailgate option...

  • How to Find Height of Cutout for Stromberg Carlson 4000 Tailgate on 2003 Dodge Ram 2500
    The Louvered Tailgate Insert # VI-4000 for the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock for Dodge Trucks # VGD-02-4000 is about 9-3/4" tall so if you measure down about 10" from the top of your bed rails on your 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 that will be how tall you'll want to go with a tool box. I don't have a way to get a measurement from the bottom of the tailgate to the top of the cutout which is why you'll need to measure down about 10". Attached is an installation...

  • Tonneau Cover to Fit 2014 Ford F-250 Short Bed that Has Tool Box in Bed
    We have two tonneau covers that will fit with your tool box installed in your bed. We have the Access part # 834532008453 which is a roll up cover and we have the Extang Trifecta part # EX93720 which is folding. These are designed for fitting with truck bed tool boxes and won't interfere with the tailgate either. You should make sure the handle of your fifth wheel hitch sits lower than the top of your bed rails though.

  • Will Hitch Extension Help with Chevy 2500 Tailgate Clearance with Trailer A-Frame Jack
    If you have a 2-1/2" trailer hitch on your Chevy 2500 then you can potentially use the Curt Hitch Extension and Reducer # C45048 but the weight is reduced to 6,000 lb towing/600 lb tongue and 8,000 lb towing/800 lb tongue with weight distribution. Any other extension will be about the same. What may be a better solution for you is to use a louvered tailgate like the part # VGM-07-4000 which fits a variety of GM trucks.
