Ford Maverick-DeeZee Tailgate Assist Install

Yet another tailgate assist install video for the 2022 Ford Maverick!

I needed a 5 mm Allen key for the bracket on the tail gate--thanks for mentioning those clips the are not in the parts list and I had no idea what they were for

[@robdisner]

Of course. Thanks for watching!

[@dennisporter753]

Best install of them so far.. thanks for sharing the information..

[@johnhoppe3798]

Thanks for this! The instruction sheet is very vague on the oval nut installation, and this helped tremendously.

[@robdisner]

Glad it helped!

[@travisshannon8562]

Thanks for this! Especially helpful with the bottom mount bit!

[@robdisner]

Glad it was helpful!

Nice video, very helpful. My only reservation with this is losing the "bottle opener" tie down, any concern with not using a strap across the tailgate when hauling or moving something longer than the bed? Is a tie down in the back of the bed enough? I only recently got my maverick so I have not had to use the tie downs in the bed or on the gate.

[@robdisner]

There are two more tie downs about six inches away in the back of each side of the bed. Doubt I’ll ever need to tie anything down as I have the tonneau cover.

You can replace it with a simple D-ring style anchor

@@clavicus then you would have to drill holes on the tailgate right? Still waiting for my mav

[@clavicus]

@@hermanchan6260 no drilling; you use the existing screw and threaded hole that the bottle opener was using

Shock is on upside down

[@robdisner]

Probably! Still works fine!

According to the DeeZee website he did it right. Why do you think it's not done right?

[@nycmaverick]

Good video. How much was the damper?

Free! It was a Valentines Day present from my wife! But she paid around $50
