In order to determine if the Rackem Double Barrel Trailer Tailgate Assist, part # RA-27C, will work with your trailer, you will need to measure the height and length of the trailer side rails. This unit will work on trailer side rails that are 10 to 15 inches tall, and the tailgate has to be at least 44 inches tall in the upright position.
I spoke with my contact at Rackem and he said the maximum weight the tailgate assist can be used on is 200 lbs, and he said there was not a maximum... view full answer...
The Gorilla-Lift Utility Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist part # GL1 is designed for tailgates no more than 300 lbs. There is not an option to upgrade the weight capacity nor is there a lift assist for a heavier tailgate. This would be he limit for a tailgate assist. If used on a heavier tailgate, it would still provide some assistance but the tailgate would likely still drop when let go of. view full answer...
Like you mentioned, the Westin Truck-Pal Fold-Up Bed Ladder # 10-3000 is designed to be used on trucks with a tailgate height up to 38 inches. This is the measurement from the mounting surface on the tailgate where the ladder attaches to the ground with the tailgate open. I included a picture that shows this. view full answer...
The Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series Tailgate, part # VG-97-4000, features a glass-filled, black composite plastic frame that is blow molded to create a lightweight yet strong-as-steel tailgate.
I spoke with my contact at Stromberg Carlson and they said that do not give the tailgate a weight rating because it is not designed to hold any large quantity of weight. They said in the open position, the tailgate will hold a small toolbox, but it is not designed to hold two or three adults at the... view full answer...
We have a couple of options for a tailgate mat that'll fit your 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel. One is carpeted and the other is rubber. I have listed both below:
Rubber - Westin Custom Fit Tailgate Mat item # W75ZV
Carpet - BedRug Custom Truck Tailgate Mat item # BMT19TG view full answer...
The 5th wheel tailgate # VG-100 has a 100 pound capacity. The cables on the truck that hold the tailgate might be rated differently so you would need to speak with a Ford technician for a specific weight capacity on the cables. Stromberg-Carlson warns not to stand on the tailgate. view full answer...
I contacted the manufacturer about the weight capacity for the MORryde Heavy Duty Tailgate Hinges for Jeep Wrangler JL # MR97UR. They were not able to give me a weight capacity. They said this is because the hinges are not the limiting factor, the tailgate will be damaged before the hinges. But, they cannot say where that is.
They also said that they are working on a tailgate reinforcement product that would help with that issue. view full answer...
The Kuat NV 2.0 bike rack # NV22G measures 11-7/8 inches tall from the center of the hitch receiver opening to the top of the rack closest to the vehicle when the arms are folded down. Lower your tailgate and measure from the center of the hitch opening to the bottom of the tailgate. If that measurement is more than 11-7/8 inches then you can lower the tailgate on your 2014 Ram.
I will include a picture to this page showing many of the key measurements of the bike rack. view full answer...
The Stromberg-Carlson 4000 series tailgates including # VGM-99-4000 are not rated to carry any weight so they do not have a capacity. Specifically they say "This gate is not designed for weight bearing applications. DO NOT stand on this gate."
The 100 series, # VGM-99-100 for a 2006 GMC Sierra, has a 100 pound capacity. view full answer...
The Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate # VGD-10-100 referenced in your question, which is confirmed to fit your 2012 Ram 1500, weighs just 37 pounds. I was not able to locate the exact weight of the OEM tailgate on your Ram, but this will certainly be a lighter option.
As you mentioned, this is also going to improve your field of vision when driving and reduce drag for better gas mileage when compared to the standard tailgate on your truck. I have attached an installation... view full answer...
With the longer Equal-i-zer shank part # EQ90-02-4600 that you referenced you can fold down your tailgate and hitch up to your trailer. I attached a picture that shows typical clearance with this relative to a folded down tailgate for you to check out. view full answer...
Since I do not have your truck here to install the tailgate onto for measuring purposes, I will give you the distance from the top of the high ends of the tailgate down to the level of the cutout opening in the center. The higher ends of the tailgate will be at the same height as the bed rails or the top of the OEM tailgate. You can measure down 10-5/8 inches from either location, which will show you where the top of the cutout opening will be located once the tailgate is installed. view full answer...
I measured the Hollywood Racks bike rack # HR1400Z for you. The part that would most likely make contact with a tailgate is the bracket that holds the arm closest to the back of the truck. From the top of the receiver opening to the top of that bracket measures 10-7/8 inches (see picture). On your 2002 Ford F-250 lower the tailgate and measure from the top of the receiver opening on your hitch to the lowered tailgate. If less than 10-7/8 inches there won't be any interference. view full answer...
The Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack, # C18085, is designed to tilt away from the vehicle to gain access to the rear cargo area. The rack usually will clear the rear tailgate that swing upward on SUVs. However, on the rear of pickup, the tailgate may not clear the bikes since the tailgate is folding down toward the rack.
I recommend the RockyMounts BackStage 2 bike Platform Rack, # RKY10002. This bike rack is both a tilting and swinging bike rack. The RockyMounts BackStage will allow you to fully... view full answer...
The WeatherTech TechLiner Custom Tailgate Liner - Black # WT3TG05 is approximately 62" wide and 22-1/2" tall. I do want to note that this tailgate liner is a fit for 2007 - 2021 Toyota Tundra's and not for a 1992 Chevy C/K Series Pickup. If you wanted a confirmed fit for a 1992 Chevy C/K Series Pickup then I recommend the DeeZee Tailgate Mat # DZ86700 for a 6-1/2' or 8' bed. view full answer...
The cutout measurements on Stromberg Carlson 4000 Louvered Tailgate # VGM-07-4000 are 34" wide at the top and 24" at the bottom of the cutout. I also confirmed with the manufacturer the 100lb weight capacity. They did not recommend using the tailgate as described since that capacity could be exceeded with a portion of the golf cart's weight. view full answer...
I can help you determine how much of the Pro Series Cargo Carrier part # 63153 the tailgate of a Honda Ridgeline would cover. You will need to lower the tailgate of your vehicle and measure from the center of the hitch pin hole out to the furthest point on the tailgate. The # 63153 has a distance of 12-3/4 inches from the pin hole to the nearest portion of the carrier.
You will need to take the measurement you took and subtract 12.75 from that figure and that is how much the tailgate would... view full answer...
Yes, the tailgate of your 2014 Ford F-150 will fold down with the mast of the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider # HR1450Z folded down. I attached a review video on a similar Chevy truck and the tailgate could fold down with the rack folded as well as tilted back. view full answer...
