Does Stromberg/ Carlson Fifth Wheel Tailgate # VGD-10-100 Open Like OEM Tailgate
Question:
vehicle: 2011 Ram 3500 I have some questions about the 100 series tailgate for my 2011 Dodge Ram 3500. Does it open and close like a factory tailgate? How does it latch? When you open it all the way does the cable hook to it? Please email me back. I need to know more about the tailgate.

Expert Reply:
The Stromberg/ Carlson Fifth Wheel Tailgate you referenced # VGD-10-100 does not have a handle, and therefore would not open and close like an OEM tailgate. To open the tailgate, the large cotter pins are removed which allows the tailgate to swing open. The tailgate uses the OEM cables from your original tailgate to hold it open.
