Stop the Slam. Enjoy a Smoother Tailgate Drop.
Opening your truck bed shouldn’t mean catching a heavy tailgate as it falls. The Fantan Tailgate Assist slows the downward motion, giving you a smoother, more controlled opening every time you load your truck.
Without Tailgate Assist
An unassisted tailgate can drop quickly once released. You need to guide it down by hand to avoid an abrupt stop — inconvenient when you’re carrying tools, groceries, or weekend gear.
With Tailgate Assist
The damper controls the opening speed, allowing the tailgate to lower gradually after you release it. Less sudden dropping, less jolting, and a more convenient way to access your truck bed.
Demonstration shown on a Ford F-150. Lowering speed may vary with tailgate weight, temperature, and vehicle configuration.
Installation Guide
Watch the video below for step-by-step installation instructions.
A Practical Upgrade for Everyday Use
• Controlled lowering: Helps prevent the tailgate from dropping abruptly.
• Reduced jolting: Softens the stop at the end of the opening motion.
• Convenient access: Reduces the need to support the tailgate by hand throughout its descent.
Select the Correct Version for Your Truck
Choose the option that matches your truck’s model and model year:
• Ford F-150 — 2015–2026
• Ford RANGER — 2017–2026
Each option is a separate fitment version, not one universal kit. Please select the correct option before adding to cart.
Already have a factory-installed tailgate damper or a powered tailgate? Contact us to check compatibility before ordering.
Please note: This assist slows the tailgate when opening. It does not help lift the tailgate closed or provide powered operation. Always ensure the area below the tailgate is clear before opening.
