  • Are Locks Available for Stromberg Carlson VGD-10-100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate
  • I spoke with my contact at Stromberg Carlson to see if they had any advice about how to lock their # VGD-10-100 tailgate. I was told that other than using a cable or chain lock to tether the tailgate to a tie-down point in the truck bed, they really didn't have any specific advice regarding how to lock the tailgate to prevent theft. For a locking tailgate, I'd recommend going with the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series tailgate, part # VGD-10-4000 which features an integrated lock.

  • What Fifth-Wheel Tailgate do You Recommend for My 2021 Ram 3500?
  • I have a tailgate solution for your 2021 Ram 3500. Unfortunately, I confirmed with Stromberg-Carlson that they do not make a 4000-Series fifth-wheel tailgate for your vehicle (or any other tailgate that is compatible). However, we do carry the Pilot Truck Tailgate Net - Full Size # TR-03 that will avoid damage to your truck's factory tailgate once installed. I went ahead and attached a review video that walks you through some of the features.

  • What Do You Recommend to Close the Gap between the Tailgate and the Truck Bed of my 2021 Ford Ranger
  • If you are looking for protection from rocks between your bed liner and where the tailgate begins, there needs to be a balance between functionality and protection. The reason why something like a bed cover like the Access Custom Truck Bed Mat - Snap-In Bed Floor Cover # A67SJ is because the cover does not extend over to the tailgate; it simply ends at the rear of your bed without covering the gap. Also, any bed floor cover that covers the gap will impact the functionality of the rear tailgate...
