Question:

Will part number 74211 fit my truck and how many opens and close can it withstand before it wears out? Thanks

The Hopkins EasyLift is not a fit for your 2010 F-150, according to Hopkins.

We offer the DeeZee # DZ43200 that would be compatible with your truck. This solution would require no drilling, and you would not need to worry about it breaking. While the Hopkins unit is basically a torsion spring that helps raise and lower the tailgate, the DeeZee item will take up some of the weight as the tailgate is lowered, but not when raising it.
