    Does anyone know of a tailgate assist kit manufacturer name or part number that will fit on a 2019. Everyone I have seen only seems to fit the Gen 1's and 2's.

    When I think of tailgate assist kits, I think of dampers that prevent the gate from slamming down when opened. Our trucks have that already. Are you looking for something that will help you close it?

    Assists with opening and closing. I broke my wrist a few months ago and although the tailgate is not that heavy, its one of the motions I have difficulty with. I installed one on a Nissan Frontier i had (before I wised up to Tacoma)
