+5 hp! Sweet!So after starting this thread last week....
I finally got around to installing my damper.
When I opened the package; to my complete amazement....
The damper is CARBON-FRICKEN-FIBER!
Apparently the folks at DeeZee & FOMOCO got together to commemorate the 1 BILLIONTH damper made! (Who knew they made THAT many of these damn things?)
How lucky am I?
The operation of the tailgate is now like a Swiss watch! The weight savings and performance enhancement is immeasurably beyond expectations!
Get your damper ASAP! Who knows, you might get the 2 BILLIONTH one made!
Cheers!

I've picked up heavier beers than this tailgate. Really? It needs to be dampened? LOL. To each, their own.People that install a tailgate damper also need a driver side grab handle to get in their truck.

OMG! A commemorative damper....You need to carefully remove, put back in its original box and put in your Safety Deposit Box at your local bank and then have your attorney update your trust to ensure this valuable asset is allocated to who ever you wish to share the value! A rare find!So after starting this thread last week....

Yep, can't deny it! And I have yet to seen a reasonable excuse for it....it's not like it is a mouse trap to begin with?I just fell out of my chair laughing!! That sh!t is pure gold! ???
Tailgate dampers will be classics like John Hughes movies. Someday we all will reminisce about our tailgate dampers and the good times we had with them. Just like our glory days watching Whitesnake videos on MTV.thankfully though, much like the fads of the 80's this too will pass.

Cow methane!Listen, to all you damper denier heathens, the tailgate is really not that light. There are plenty of things that are LIGHTER than a Ford Ranger Tailgate;
- Ostrich Feathers
- Helium Balloons
- Rice Cakes
- Angel Hair pasta
- Packing peanuts
- Balsa wood airplanes
- Both my newborn baby boys
- The air in our tires
- My paycheck during covid
I mean I could go on and on. The tailgate is really heavier than a lot of other things.

i was on the fence before install. After install I hate it. it just gets in the way but it does add MPG and HP or that could be the 83 stickers I have on the truck..... I do love my dampened toilet at 3am and sloppy drunk. Maybe I just need to drink and drive...??????‍It ISN'T about how HEAVY or LIGHT the Range Tailgate is! It's about the CONVENIENCE of a one pull on the release and your hands are free to deal with the load you're going to put in the bed! All I can say to the Deniers is: TRY IT You'll LOVE IT!
This truck can be locked three different ways easily....problem solved.I'm thinking about getting one, for two reasons. The first is my kid keeps dropping the tailgate, the second is I hear it's harder to steal the tailgate if it's installed.
