Excellent at what it does
Effective and affordable for what it does, which is providing lift assist for the tailgate and a slow close so the tailgate does not slam down. Probably about 50% easier to lift the tailgate of my F-150 Lightning and you can let go of the tailgate and it will slowly lower. Took about 45 minutes to install. If you have the Pro Workspace on the tailgate with the dual bottle openers... on each side of the tailgate, you'll have to remove one to install this. If you don't remove one bottle opener, it'll hit the side of the lift and prevent the tailgate from closing.

Very effective at slowing tailgate drop
Excellent product and less than 10 minutes to install. Works great on my F-150. Would definitely recommend and especially if you have smaller kids.

Soft Open Tailgate
This is actually my second one — the first one broke for no obvious reason, probably my fault. Setup was easy, the instructions were clear, and all the hardware was included as described. Overall, quality seems good and it does what it’s supposed to.

Must-Have Upgrade for F-150 Owners – Smooth, Safe Tailgate Operation!
I recently installed the Orion Motor Tech Tailgate Assist on my 2015 F-150, and I’m absolutely thrilled with how it’s improved the tailgate operation. As an F-150 owner, I love the truck, but the tailgate always made it a bit of a hassle when I was opening or closing it. This Tailgate Assist kit has solved that issue perfectly. Here’s why: Easy Installation: The installation was straightforward and didn’t require any special tools or professional help. I followed the included instructions, and within 15 minutes, the tailgate assist was installed. It fits perfectly on my 2015F-150, and the whole process was very simple. Smooth Operation: This tailgate assist makes opening and closing the tailgate feel effortless. No more worrying about the heavy tailgate slamming down or having to lift it with extra effort. The assist ensures that it opens slowly and closes gently, making it a lot safer and more convenient, especially when my hands are full. Sturdy and Reliable: The quality of the materials is excellent. The gas strut feels very sturdy and well-made, and I have no doubt it will last for years. It’s designed to handle the weight of the tailgate without any issues, and the strut has a strong, smooth action every time I use it.

Very easy setup. I did this for my husband after the trunk door on F150 broke.. only issue is, it's very heavy to put up but the drop down is smooth.
