Tuff Terrain’s Tailgate Assist Kit takes the grunt out of the Mazda BT-50 2020-On tailgate, as the down-assist gas strut slows the drop and stops that harsh slam every time you open up. The up-assist strut then helps lift the weight back up, meaning you can latch the tray with one hand while you juggle gear or tools. The cable setup replaces the factory metal straps to give the struts clean room to move.

Stainless steel hardware shrugs off wet roads and salt spray, which keeps everything moving smoothly trip after trip. The gas struts are valved for the BT-50 tailgate mass to keep the swing predictable from closed to fully open. Low-profile cables and brackets tuck in tight near the hinges, preventing snags on cargo in the tub. Factory mounting points line up with the kit, making this a smart buy for tourers and tradies who load up daily.

Q: Does the Tailgate Assist Kit affect maximum tailgate opening angle?

A: No, the tailgate still reaches the standard horizontal position. The gas struts control the path of movement without shortening the travel arc. You can still use the tailgate as a bench or loading platform. The cables and brackets sit within the hinge zone, so they do not interfere with the open angle.

Q: Can I still remove the tailgate after fitting this kit?

A: Yes, the tailgate can still be removed. The gas struts and cables detach from their ball studs and mounting points when required. You may need basic hand tools to disconnect brackets. Once removed, the factory style removal method applies to the BT-50 tailgate.

Q: Is the Tuff Terrain Tailgate Assist Kit compatible with tub liners or tray mats?

A: In most cases it suits factory-style tub liners. The brackets bolt to factory mounting points on the body and tailgate, which usually sit outside liner interference areas. If you use an aftermarket liner, you may need to trim around the bracket locations.

Q: Does the kit need regular maintenance?

A: Only light maintenance is recommended. Keep the gas strut shafts clean from mud and grit, as contamination can damage shaft seals over time. Check mounting hardware periodically for tightness. Lubricate pivot points lightly if they show signs of noise or stiffness.

Q: Can the gas struts be replaced in future?

A: Yes, the gas struts can be replaced if they lose charge. Replacement struts must match the original length and force rating for the Mazda BT-50 2020-On. Using matched parts keeps the descent and lift characteristics consistent. Your installer or supplier can advise on the correct units.
