I definitely installed the tailgate assist for the sake of my 4 year old coming up and opening the tailgate and not having it fall on him.

This FITS cupholder for the rear seat:
FITS cup holder

Overpriced? Sure is! But it was the only one I could find with a slot to fit the handle of my knockoff Yeti mugs, which of course, do not fit in the front cupholders.

5 year old daughter and no tailgate assist. As a parent, I can't possibly protect all doors. I'd rather teach her then directly protect one tailgate. Stand to the side of all doors, gates and tailgates. Especially in public bathrooms. Especially Dad's tailgate. Worst case, I'll call it lesson learned but it hasn't been an issue.

I feel like this is something Ive seen so many people looking for but this is the first Ive heard of it. Would you be cool with making a thread about it and how it works?
I agree a lot of people have been searching for this and I think Cuban redneck did a video on a DIY for this but I have not seen it commercially available.

I grew up on a farm in a rural area. None of the pickups had tailgate assist. None of the kids every got hurt from tailgates.

It's like the stove. Or firearms. Or *driving*.

Teach your kids valuable lessons vs shelter them from life.

It's not about the kids it's about the ease of carrying something in one hand and being able to lift the handle step back and watch the awesomeness LOL. I am older now and like the extra luxuries in life. ( I grew up Lobster fishing and pulling lobster traps from morning to dusk so what I grew up doing has nothing to do with what I do now.)

A feather? Do we have the same truck?

A 2-year-old standing under that thing would be a painful death... After much neurosurgery
It's best not to open the tailgate while a 2-year-old is standing under it.

Agreed.

It's bester to protect the 2-year-olds brains the one time that best doesn't happen.

It would be a complete no brainer if it didn't involve removing your bottle cap remover from the left side...

Read the rest of the comments, people are/were concerned about head smashes.

Did the cab spoiler effect your MPG ? I like the looks of them.
I don’t think so. I notice more wind on my tonneau with it, but my numbers are unchanged. My normal drive to work this morning was legit.

Bump step. 100% best sub-$100 purchase for the truck. That and my cargo net.

It has been reported that the step rattles - does it?
I've never heard it rattle? The one I have isn't metal, so maybe that makes a difference.
