Will Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate # VGM-99-4000 Fit Future Models

Question:

Im contemplating the louvered tailgate for my 2004 Chevy Silverado Z71. Wondering if this will be interchangeable with the newer duramax Z71 as I will be replacing my truck with in the next two years. Thank you in advance.

The Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate # VGM-99-4000 fits your 2004 Silverado (as long as it is not a step side bed) and it also fits later model years 2005, 2006 and 2007 Classic body trucks. It does not fit 2008 and later Silverados.

I cannot predict whether future model years will be compatible with this louvered 5th wheel tailgate. But if you care to check for a tailgate compatible with a particular model year you can do so on our site.
