Open and close your tailgate with less effort

When you have a bag in one hand, a heavy tailgate is an everyday nuisance. ARB Tailgate Assist gives your Ford Ranger Mk8 Double Cab with an ARB Ascent canopy a more controlled opening movement and help with lifting it closed, making those frequent stops at the load bed easier.

SKU: 820TRMFORA8

A smoother opening and an easier lift

Developed with Stabilus, the system combines a damper that controls the tailgate as it lowers with a gas-assisted mechanism that helps as you raise it. You get the benefit at both ends of the movement: less effort to close it and a more controlled descent when you open it.

It is a useful convenience for work gear, shopping and camping equipment, especially when you return to the tailgate several times during the day.

Made for the correct Double Cab application

This kit is for the Ford Ranger Mk8 Double Cab, 2023 onwards, with an ARB Ascent canopy. Use the vehicle-specific components and instructions for this version; kits for different pickups are separate products.

The installation involves minor drilling. Correct bracket placement and alignment let the assistance work through the tailgate's full movement. Check the fittings and tailgate operation after installation, keeping the area clear of dirt and loose cargo.

Frequently asked questions

Does it help to close the tailgate as well as open it?

Yes. Damping controls the opening movement, while the gas-assisted mechanism helps you lift the tailgate closed.

Can I use it without an Ascent canopy?

This 820TRMFORA8 version is listed only for the Ranger Mk8 Double Cab with an ARB Ascent canopy.

Is it an electric tailgate?

It assists the manual movement. You still open and close the tailgate yourself, with the mechanisms reducing effort and controlling the descent.
