This strong-as-steel plastic tailgate features a cutout that makes it perfect for towing a 5th-wheel or gooseneck trailer. The locking tailgate has built-in louvers that reduce drag, and it mounts securely with rotary latches and coated cables.I was wanting a 5th wheel tailgate for my Tundra since I pull a 5th wheel camper and I’m glad I chose the stromberg tailgate, it was easy to install and looks awesome and now I don’t have to worry about ruining my tailgate. I recommend this tailgate to everyone. Thank you etrailer for the great transaction and very fast shipping!
Love these gates...just purchased my 3rd for my newest '21 Tundra...all fit great, look great and are a breeze to install
Will be a customer for life
Wanted one of these for years.
Best one I've ever seen.
Beyond pleased......
It was easy to put on, but there is about a 4 inch gap between the bottom of the tailgate and the top of the bumper that looks pretty chinsey. Might have to spray paint it to look better.
Fits like a glove...Good value too

No good!
Wire length is different and Bad side cover
Than it looks cheap
There is no provision for the back-up camera from the original tailgate. The tailgate won't take any weight at all. I think it would make sense to reinforce it enough to hold a toolbox.

So far, so good. Stroberg needs to accommodate rear back-up cameras for those embedded in tailgates.
This tailgate went on my Tundra, the fit was great and it does the job. It's a nice change to order an item and have it work as advertised. thanks

product is working better than I could imagine, best buy for the bucks
I am pleased with the fit, look and how it suits my needs. It was straight forward to install, and took just a few minutes. It beats the pants off the cost of a new tailgate, even after market.
However, it is plastic, and can't support much weight. I worry someone may sit, or place cargo on it.
Final verdict, I would purchase etrailers products again. The VGT-70-4000 works as an alternative tailgate option. And, it is a beauty for a fifth wheel.

I bought this because I had a damaged OEM tailgate. It arrive with the packaging intact, but one of the mounting points tweaked. It only took a minor quick bend of the metal for this to go on and it looks great. Installed on an 07 Tundra that I use to tow a Reflection 230RL fifth wheel. I’m a little disappointed that the locking/latching mechanism doesn’t have the spring tension to reset itself (you have to manual turn the latch nob for the tailgate to latch close after it’s been opened). But otherwise very happy with both the product and the customer service at etrailer! Would buy again and would buy from etrailer.
We needed an RV tailgate to tow our 5th wheel on our vacation. The tailgate looks great, but IT WAS THE SERVICE THAT I RATED EXCELLENT!! I had to have the tailgate by a certain day. I was constantly apprised of the status and I received it well before the deadline. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!!
Very nice looking product. Fairly easy to install but package was missing the two bolts (MS-125) that hold the tailgate straps to the tailgate. Required a quick trip to Ace Hardware to complete. Also one of the side panel receiver clips (where the screw attaches) stripped out and the left side latch had about a quarter inch free play that allows the gate to rattle. Even after adjusting the truck bed post and the gate lock as far in as possible.
My louvered tailgate arrived quickly and installation was easy (with a little help w/ my wife). It looks very sporty and I don't need to worry anymore about my fifth wheeler and my Tundra crashing against each other anymore--my stock tailgate is ruined anyway! Thanks etrailer. I'll be recommending your site to fellow fifth wheeler campers.

The tailgate is very well made. It has been on our Tundra since December 2019 when we hauled our fifth wheel to Texas from Maine. Absolutely would recommend this tailgate.
I miss my backup camera in the v-gate. someone needs to come up a camera that’s on the back of the cab so we can see the fifth wheel plate and king pin
When I install it, it is difficult to install both sides plastic covers. The cutting of the both plastic covers are not perfect to fit it. Because of that, it may break the bottom plastic when install the bottom screws.
After I finished the installation, I found that the key cannot turn to the lock position. It only can turn to open the lock. I have contacted the customer services department. They said they will send parts to me to fix that. Right now , the tailgate is good and work perfectly but it cannot lock.
As usual excellent shipping and service. Tailgate came damaged from being dropped by the shipping company, Luckily I could bend back the metal and any damage was covered by the plastic covers.
It's a flimsy plastic tailgate. The fitment isn't the best and the side panels are weak.
Very easy to install! Packaged well! Doesn’t use a latch to secure, so it’s very loose, and the cables don’t function like OEM when opening and closing. Also the center insert is made out of metal, so it doesn’t match the plastic tailgate very well. If you have kids who climb in and out the bed of the truck I would not use this product.
I am very pleased with the look of the Stromberg 4000 tailgate and it was easy to install. I only had a little problem with setting the screw and the metal clip on the bottom left of the tailgate, because of the spacing between a metal reinforcement strip and the bottom of the pivot post was almost too close to allow me to tighten the screw. Minor problem, worked just fine.
installed tailgate everything ok except gate won`t hit rubber stops so it rattles not seeing anyway to adjust
Haven't installed it yet , but it is better than expected,very strong, sturdy and good looking,plan to keep it on all summer and switch back after camping season.
I am overall happy the the product so far. There was some minor damage to the unit but nothing I couldn’t fix with a screw driver or needle nose pliers.
Good product it it light and it came with all the parts. Overall I’m happy.
So easy to install. Looks great! Fit great on our 2010 Toyota Tundra.
I like it and I have had several compli ments.
