Does The Stromberg Carlson 5th Wheel Tailgate Come With Support Cables

Question:

Good morning Who it may concern: . I have a question or two. Dose your tail gate come with cable to hold it on while open? My last question is. Can a person get it painted to match my truck?

The Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate # VGM-88-100 does not come with any kind of cable or strap to hold it, it just has hinges to allow you to lift and lower it. These tailgates are not designed to bear weight so you shouldn't climb on them or load them up with anything.

You certainly can have someone paint it, but it only comes in black so you would have to find someone locally to paint it.

You have a 2007 Ford F-250 listed as your vehicle, if this is the vehicle you plan on putting the tailgate on then you'll want the # VG-97-100 instead.

I've attached a short video below where Colin will go over how this tailgate works.
