If you mean that the tailgate opens slowly my 07 has it, as to others.

Re: 2008 Easygate Tailgate
I assume hes talking about tailgate damping?? If so all 05 and newer have it. Tailgate damping cushions on the way down and assists on the way up.
My tailgate is so light that I can lift it with two fingers, try that with a undamped tailgate it wont work unless your really strong lol |

We compared trucks w/ and w/o at the Jersey meet. Doesn't look like an easy swap. Would require some hacking on the bed, along with some other modifications. The torsion assist is the way to go for 04 models.

Re: 2008 Easygate Tailgate
My chebbie has the easy lift option but it is no where near that of the titans or the tundras. I had to take it to the dealer and verify it was on because it doesnt help that much. Or maybe it does and the tailgate is made outof 3/4 in steel.

Re: 2008 Easygate Tailgate
It's funny how much I take that feature for granted... Just the other day I opened a buddie's tailgate and it just felt awful... the heavy 'clunk' as it comes down and then having to put down everything in your hand just to put the thing up. When I was buying my truck I was about to take an 04 but when I saw the gate assist and the auto rear window I had to have an 05.... I'm glad I did.

Re: 2008 Easygate Tailgate
After looking at the 08 carefully, I'm not convinced that the assist isnt in the tailgate itself and a trade to the newer tailgate would do it.
