Q: Does this tailgate assist kit fit all 2022–2024 Ford Rangers?
A: No, it suits WILDTRAK, RAPTOR and XLT models built from 2022 to 2024. Other grades may run different tailgate hardware and mounting points that do not match this kit. Always cross-check your variant against the vehicle handbook. If you are unsure, our crew is here to help confirm fitment.
Q: Can I still close the tailgate normally with the gas strut fitted?
A: Yes, the tailgate still closes by hand as normal. The gas strut mainly manages the opening motion and final part of the drop. You still latch the tailgate using the factory catch. Normal closing force and latch operation remain under your direct control.
Q: Will I need to drill any new holes in the tailgate?
A: No, the supplied hardware mounts to existing Ranger points. The brackets sit on factory threads that already support the tailgate. This approach keeps the structure intact and helps avoid rust points. Always follow the instruction sheet to align everything correctly.
Q: What tools might be required to remove the factory hardware?
A: The vehicle may use specialised bolts that need matching removal tools. Some tailgates use Torx or other drive patterns that are not in basic kits. You should check the heads on your existing bolts before starting. Having the correct tools on hand prevents damage to fasteners and paint.
Q: Is the tailgate assist kit covered by a warranty?
A: Yes, Tuff Terrain lists a 2-year warranty on these tailgate assist kits. The warranty covers faults in materials or workmanship under normal use. You should retain your proof of purchase for any future claim. Standard supplier terms and conditions apply.
