Also...Make sure you buy from a trusted supply. I wonder who that might be? ??

It says " This part does not fit your 2021 Ford Ranger " Is this a mistake or is there another damper for 2021?

It's a mistake, it's the exact same part number as I have. The Ford damper is from DeeZee.

But you have a 2019, no?

But you have a 2019, no?

There are many parts that still don't list 2021 for some reason. Nothing has changed on the Ranger, same body and drivetrain from 2019-2021.

Wow, sure is an awful lot of damNper stress here.

A damNper free life is often a stress free life… ?

I have a 2020, and that's the one I used. 19-21 should all the be the same gate. Check out the mod thread to help prevent the cable getting pinched, there are a couple versions posted.

I bought this one last year and have had zero problems with it. Just took a chance.

Month One - Worked Fine
Month Two - Squeaking like crazy
Month Two and a half - Puked oil all over my tailgate and bumper, no longer works, and hardware is rusted.

Lesson: Should have spent the extra few bucks and got the DEE ZEE damper

Better yet should have saved your money and not buy it? I am one of the rare few that doesnt have a tailgate damper and it does just fine believe it or not!!!

I've found this same problem with a TON of Amazon listings that basically don't realize the 2021 exists. Amazon now thinks my truck is a 2019 for the time being.

It’s a Chinese knockoff.

Chinese SHIT I think you meant to say.

Or the lesson is no damper at all and avoid this drama altogether.

Blasphemy!
