EZDown Tailgate Shock Absorber Kit for Toyota Hilux Revo/Invincible

Optimize your Toyota Hilux Revo with the EZDown Tailgate Damper

Driving a Toyota Hilux Revo pickup truck on rough terrain or using it for demanding commercial work requires robust and extremely reliable equipment. The tailgate of your 4x4 vehicle is a heavy, bulky, and often difficult-to-handle component. Opening it with one hand while carrying camping gear, heavy tools, or luggage can be complex and sometimes dangerous. The EZDown tailgate strut is designed to solve this problem. Specifically designed for Toyota Hilux Revo models manufactured from 2016 onwards, this shock absorber system literally revolutionizes the daily use of your truck bed. By completely absorbing the tailgate's downward speed, it prevents the violent impacts that, over time, irreparably damage the hinges and support brackets of your pickup. In the demanding world of off-road and professional use, worn equipment inevitably means vehicle downtime and costly repairs. Thanks to the EZDown damper, the tailgate now lowers smoothly, fluidly, and in a controlled manner, preventing violent impacts with loading ramps, trailers, or any vulnerable objects placed nearby. This guarantees maximum safety for the operator and is a surefire way to extend the life of your truck body. You no longer need to hold the heavy tailgate; simply unlock the handle and let the hydraulic system do the work for you.

Technology at the Service of Your Pick-Up Truck: Torsion Bars and Variants

The engineering and design of the Toyota Hilux have naturally evolved over the years, and the EZDown system has been meticulously developed to perfectly adapt to these various mechanical changes. It is therefore crucial to correctly identify your vehicle's technical configuration to select the right version of our kit. Some Hilux models come from the factory with torsion bars integrated directly into the tailgate mechanism. These metal bars already provide a form of mechanical assistance to support and balance the weight of the tailgate. Thus, for Toyota Hilux models manufactured between 2016 and 2021 that are equipped with these torsion bars, the specific EZDown kit requires the installation of only one damper. This single damper will work in perfect harmony with the existing torsion bar to slow the tailgate's descent. However, for newer versions of the Toyota Hilux produced from 2021 onwards, most of which lack these factory-installed torsion bars, the tailgate's total weight rests solely on the manual opening mechanism. For these specific vehicles, the EZDown kit has been redesigned and includes two heavy-duty shock absorbers. These two Gas Struts They are absolutely essential to absorb the entire weight and ensure a safe descent. Regardless of the year of your pickup, the end result remains the same: a smooth, effortless, and safe opening.
