Thank you for a GREAT product . My order was processed , shipped and delivered with precision . I have an older but reliable 1999 Ford 350 DWD Super Duty and your 5th tailgate fits like a custom made glove . The workmanship is excellent and the finish compliments the overall look of my truck.

No problems . The tailgate is performing just as advertised . It makes hooking up to our 6th wheel camper a breeze.



by:

So the tailgate instructions are lacking for starters. There’s a few dings on the tailgate where the paint is gone. Looking at the back of the truck, on the bottom where it connects, none of the spacers worked. So the top connections are snug but my bottom connections have play in them. I ordered the right one for my truck year make and model so I’m not sure what that’s about. It looks good, but I wish it fit properly and did not have chipped paint. Shipping was fast.

2007 FordF-250 Super Duty

Great tailgate for the price. We needed one that could handle the weight of a person standing on it, something some of the fancier lovered ones can't handle. Tailgate fit on F250 perfectly. Stromberg could do a better job with directions and packaging as some paint had worn off from the cardboard shipping box. The entire tailgate should be wrapped in plastic, not just the ends. Service was great from etrailer. Order was received in four days.

Tailgate width is the same between F-250 and F-350 in this generation. We have 4 different tailgates designed to fit your truck. Check out the links below.

This tailgate was a Christmas present for my sons truck, that was his granfathers. The shipping was fast!!! It traveled to Idaho. This has been an excellent product for him. He is a lineman and his truck takes a beating. It is sturdy and made well. Never had any issues with it. Wish we had another truck so we could purchase from you again.



by:
2005 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty

Fits perfectly and matches my F350 bed design nicely. Install was simple and fast. Great replacement to a tailgate that was rotting away, plus I notice the lack of drag with this new tailgate. Just like advertised, my view when backing up to hitch up is much more clearer. Awesome product.

After a year Ive still had no issues with my tailgate, I can remove it easily when I dont need it and it has held up exceptionally well, Ive scratched it a few times but a little touch up paint and its back to new. Has never rusted or let me down yet, plus I always recognize a difference in fuel mileage.



by:

I cannot believe my experience with your company and the product. I purchased a 5th wheel truck tailgate and the speed that it was delivered to me was fantastic !!! I also found the instructions very helpful and installation was very quick and easy. I would recommend this product to anyone needing a replacement tailgate !

easy install and will do the job well. looks good too.

Roger

This still works and looks great after a year of abuse. Im very pleased with this tailgate. Im glad I bought it.



by:

Fits on a 2008 F450 Lariat! The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because a part of the tailgate was bent when it came in, along with a couple other bends. Wasn't a big issue, because I just bent it back and it was alright. Instructions are easy, and installation of the new tailgate was SUPER easy, even a caveman can do it. Just be sure to list ACCURATELY what make and model vehicle you have, as etrailer will ship only the appropriate items and hardware.



by:
2013 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty

The product was easy to assemble and install. The tailgate is a nice replacement for our damaged tailgate and adds safety to hooking up our fifth wheel with great visibility to the king pin on the coach and the fifth hitch from the side.

I love the tailgate ! Very easy to symbol and I love your delivery was fast.

Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Great product, great service. I bought one of these 5th Wheel Tailgates for my GMC 1500 and loved it, but I traded the 1500 for a F250 so I bought another. It came today and I had it on in 20 minutes. Here is a picture of the GMC. The Ford looks just as good. This tailgate makes hooking up much easier and is about a quarter of the weight of the factory tailgate.



by:
2003 Ford F-150

excellent service , nice product, took about an hour to install , hardest thing was adjusting latches , fits like a glove now



by:

Perfect! Works well with our 5th wheel.



by:

Very simple to install. One spot was bent where to screw one of the latches in but just bent it back by hand. Would be nice if that whole piece was welded to the face plate instead of just one spot.



by:

I received my 5th wheel gate very fast, coming up to Alaska,and was easy to install took about 30 min's
Thanks



by:

The inserts for the connections were useless. Had to salvage the ones from my old tailgate then cy to fit, Littke extra time to fit. Have to salvage the support wire from the old one to support gate when down. Unit looks good.



by:
2006 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty

Decent product. It does have several flaws that I wasn't happy about. It is going on a work truck so not to worried, get what you pay for as they say. Shipping was fast as normal. Still would refer people to etrailer.com



by:

The tailgate arrived in a well packed carton. The tailgate was perfect and fairly easy to install. Did have to call Stromberg for so fine details but it installed easily! Nicole at Etrailer.com was instrumental in getting me to the right place to get the right tailgate. I highly recommend the Stromberg 100 tailgate and etrailer.com!

Arrived with minor damage to 2 corners. Works ok, hard to latch. Using on 2016 F250.

Ford Transit Connect

Fit is excellent, installed with only one minor problem. Tailgate arrived with a small hole in one end of the box. Upon inspection the plastic zip lock bag containing all the hardware had torn open in transit. Only one 1/4-20 screw and one 1/4-20 nylock insert nut remained in the box, all other hardware required was enclosed but loose inside the box. Minor problem considering the distance traveled for delivery. Digging through my hardware drawer in my shop produced the needed screws and nuts. Overall very pleased wit the products, good value for the money. Would recommend it to others.

Tailgate looks like the day I installed it. Very satisfied with thus product, good quality product.



by:

We were quite impressed when the fifth wheel tailgate we ordered arrived in 3 or 4 days after we ordered it. It was easy to install on our pickup and two days later we went camping and used the pickup with the new tailgate to haul our RV.

We couldn't be happier with the service we received or the quality and price of the tailgate. We'd order other parts from etrailer without hesitation and would highly recommend this company.

We were especially happy with the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff person who took our order and assisted us in deciding on the exact part we needed.



Dennis T.

A year after installing the tailgate on our pickup, its still working and looking great and were happy with it.



by:
2002 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty

Easy to install. Arrived promptly and with all the hardware.



by:

This tailgate works great for me. It helps me to be able the back up and get my 5th wheel hitch centered w with my in bed hitch. The only thing I would like is to open the tailgate with one lever instead of individuals levers.

Ken H.

7/19/2021

After 1 year, this tailgate is still working find. It serves the purpose I brought it for.i would recommend this product to anyone with a 5th wheel.



by:

When it came it was bent on one side where the latch fit also was missing one screw and nut had to drive 20 miles to a hardware store to get one

  • 5th Wheel Tailgate And License Plate Back Up Camera For A 2010 Ford F-350
    Yes, the Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate # VG-97-100 is a confirmed fit for your 2010 Ford F-350 and comes with all necessary hardware. As for the back up camera, I recommend the Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System # HM50002. This camera is super simple to install but the wiring could be just a bit short if you have a long bed so you may also need to pick up an extension cable # HM3100504060 to complete your connections. I've attached some videos...

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Tailgate for a 2015 Ford F-350
    Yes, we do have a 5th wheel tailgate for your 2015 Ford F-350. It is the Stromberg Carlson 100 Series item # VG-97-100. This tailgate is custom fit and has a vented design. This not only improves your vision but also helps you aerodynamically. This tailgate weighs 36 lbs, is made in the USA, and can be painted to match your truck. I have linked a review video below along with a picture that will show you what it looks like when installed.

  • Does the Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate # VG-97-100 Require Paint Prior to Install
    If the paint looks good as-is on the Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate # VG-97-100 I wouldn't bother adding additional paint to it. The tailgate is powdercoated which would be stronger than any standard paint you would spray it. The only time I would recommend painting the tailgate would be if there were flakes or scratches in the powdercoat that go down to bare metal. This may happen in the future from use. But for right now you would be fine without it.

  • Lowered Tailgate Very Close to 5th Wheel Trailer when Hitching Up with a 2011 Ford F-250 Long Bed
    What I recommend is to install a 5th wheel tailgate on your 2011 Ford F-250 so that you will not have to lower it and will have clearance when hitch up to the trailer. A 5th wheel tailgate will also cost much less than any replacement pin box. The most cost-effective option that will fit your truck is # VG-97-100. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. For something with a little more style we have the 4000 series, # VG-97-4000. The Lippert 1621 pin box you have...

These tailgates are not designed to bear weight so you shouldn't climb on them or load them up with anything.

  • Replacement 5th Wheel Pin Box to Provide More Turning Clearance
    5th wheel pin boxes do come in different lengths. In some cases substituting a longer pin box can provide more clearance but affect a trailer's frame warranty since extending a pin box increases the amount of leverage applied to the frame. We suggest checking with your trailer manufacturer (you'll need the trailer's VIN when you call) to get their take on the idea of changing out pin boxes on your particular trailer.
