I have seen lots of talk of these on this forum. I'm not trying to offend anyone, but what's the point? I truly don't see the point of this and I'm looking for an explanation. Maybe I need it and don't know...

You're not very imaginative are you? Not meaning to be offensive, but your comment is lacking any sense of irony.

Aluminum? Thought all the panels were steel, at least what I was told.

You were told WRONG!

The hood, front fenders and tailgate are all aluminum. The rest is steel.

Because I don't want it slamming down when my wife goes to get groceries in or out of it, and she cannot be trained. Plus If I'm carrying something heavy, I might be able to work the latch, but I can't stop the tailgate from falling on me, or whatever I'm carrying. It's somewhat convenient to be able to pop it and step back, then load whatever in.

By no means necessary, just "more" convenient than without it.

Exactly! Wife can't be trained

The fenders have some iron in them. At least that's what the magnet test I just did tells me.

In my case, I want it just because my Colorado has it. I don't really want a whoopsie trying to remember which does and doesn't have it.

My Tacoma was the first truck to have one. After having it for almost 4 years it's a hard habit trying not to just let tailgate drop freely now.

does anyone think the Gen 6 will have soft close cab doors?
I'm tired of my passengers slamming the doors.
anyone want to fab up some soft close struts for the cab doors???

I ask my passenger(s) to not slam my doors...if they do, last ride...

My girlfriends famous for doing this. Last time she did it she immediately looked at me with those "oops I'm sorry eyes". You're right,they're untrainable!

Not touching the untrainable wife comments.....

Lol...As much as I joke around she's very easy going. Me on the other hand, I'm the stubborn one!

Thank God my family has been trained over the years...they understand Dad's OCD and treat my rides differently than Mom's

I just found the install video for the F 150 but the install should be the same for the Ranger. Very clean look.

Who's going to be the first member to break their $1,200 taillight while installing a $50 damper?

Lol...Not me. I'm going to wait for @TheMarkP damper. At least I know it's been proven to work.

We will see if my order gets cancelled too.
