  • Recommended 5th Wheel Tailgate for a 2006 Ford F-250
  • I do have a 5th wheel tailgate for you but the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock part # VG-15-4000 will not fit.

  • Fifth Wheel Tailgate Recommendation for a 2014 Ford F-150 Short Bed and Slider Hitch
  • A 5th wheel tailgate will provide better turning clearance than the standard tailgate on your 2014 Ford F-150 but it is still possible that, while turning, the pin box could make contact with the tailgate. Another option is a tailgate net, # TR-03. It will be easy to take down and put back up so as to avoid any contact with the trailer pin box. Fifth wheel tailgates such as # VG-04-4000 work best with long bed trucks since the hitches for them don't slide.

  • The 2011 and 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500 series trucks do not use the same 5th wheel tailgates. The dimensions of the trucks are different so they require different tailgate designs.

  • Providing Pin Box Clearance and Turning Clearance for 2014 Ford F-150
  • I have some solutions to help your towing set-up, but there is no way to extend the pin box out an additional 8 inches to increase the distance between the back of the truck tailgate and the trailer.

  • Louvered 5th Wheel Tailgate for a 2017 Ford F-350
  • I do have a 5th wheel tailgate for your 2017 Ford F-350 but a 5th wheel tailgate from a 2012 Ford F-350 will not work for you nor is there a kit to convert one to the other. Your best option is to purchase the tailgate specifically designed for your truck and sell the old one to recoup some of your money.

  • Can a Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate be Painted to Match Color of Truck
  • Stromberg Carlson 100 series 5th wheel tailgate # VGM-88-100 is the only option for your 1998 Chevy K2500. It will not fit models that have a stepside bed. You can paint the 100 series tailgate since it is powder coated steel. If you are going to use the 5th wheel tailgate often or exclusively then painting it to match the truck would be a good idea.
