Tuff Terrain’s tailgate assist kit takes the weight out of the Nissan Navara NP300 MY19 tailgate, which means you can drop and lift the tray with more control. One strut slows the way the tailgate falls, while the other helps you pull it back up without that heavy final heave. The kit hooks into the Navara’s tailgate layout, to keep the usual latch action you already know.

The gas struts run a sealed gas charge that supports the tailgate through the arc, which stops harsh shock loads into the hinges. Steel brackets and plates spread the load around the mounting points, meaning the drilled spots do not cop all the strain. Supplied hardware pulls the whole setup tight, ready to handle weekend trips from the bush to the beach. Terms and conditions apply.

Q: Does this tailgate assist kit fit the 2020-onwards new-shape Nissan Navara?

A: No, this kit does not fit the 2020-onwards new-shape Navara. The later model uses shorter tailgate cables and a different layout, which means the supplied components will not align correctly. Using this kit on the wrong model can stress the hinges and brackets. Always match your vehicle build year and shape before ordering.

Q: Is drilling into the tailgate mandatory for installation?

A: Yes, drilling is required to fit this kit. The supplied template marks out the correct hole positions on the tailgate skin, so the brackets line up with the internal structure. Drilling creates proper mounting points for the plates and bolts. Skipping this step can lead to misalignment or poor support.

Q: Are any extra tools needed apart from those supplied in the kit?

A: Yes, some special tools may be required to remove existing tailgate hardware. Many Navaras run factory bolts or clips that need the correct sockets or trim tools, which avoids damage to the tailgate. The kit supplies new mounting bolts but not hand tools. Check your current fittings before you start the job.

Q: Can I keep using the factory tailgate cables with this kit?

A: Yes, the kit works alongside the existing tailgate cable setup on compatible NP300 models. The new cables and brackets integrate at the hinge area, which keeps the standard drop angle and latch behaviour. Correct routing prevents rubbing on the tray edges. Always follow the included instructions when swapping or adjusting cables.

Q: Is this kit suitable for heavy daily work use?

A: Yes, the twin-strut layout supports repeated opening and closing in normal work or touring use. The gas struts control motion rather than carry cargo weight, which keeps loads primarily on the tray floor as intended. Brackets and plates distribute forces to reduce stress hot spots. Regular inspection and cleaning help the setup go the distance.
