• Description:

  This is the genuine Ford tailgate support cable the check strap and cable assembly that connects the tailgate to the pickup box on 2015 through 2020 F-150 trucks and limits the tailgate travel to the horizontal position when it is lowered. Ford catalog naming is Cable Assembly Tailgate Support. Working as one of a left and right pair the cable carries the weight of the open tailgate holds it level for loading and prevents it from swinging down against the bumper. This part covers the driver or left hand side. Owners replace a support cable when the outer jacket is frayed the cable is rusted or stretched an end fitting or hook is bent or broken or the tailgate drops too far or sits unevenly because one cable has failed which can also let the tailgate rack and stress the hinges. Because the length and end fittings are specific to the truck this genuine Ford cable is a direct replacement that hooks into the original tailgate and bedside anchors without modification and restores correct level support. Installation is straightforward with the tailgate supported remove the old cable from its anchor points and attach the new cable at both ends verifying the hooks or pins are fully seated and the tailgate rests level. It is good practice to inspect and replace the opposite side cable at the same time if it shows similar wear so both sides share the load evenly. Confirm the side before ordering. This genuine Ford support cable restores safe level tailgate operation and eliminates the sagging drooping or dropping tailgate caused by a worn or broken cable.
