The tailgate is the back face of your vehicle, and usually the most useful door itself, due to its discrete position in the vehicle. If you did not notice this yet, just let me give you some examples about the main role of your tailgate. Everyone wants to bring something covered in the back; if you go to the Gym, you usually bring sneakers or the active wear to use at anytime, if you use a uniform at work, usually you bring a discrete shirt to change into after work if you have errands to run such as returning something, going to the store, or buying a gift you forgot about. The tailgate for a truck is very useful to cover sand, tools, bikes, and many more things too. So, the fifth door might be used as much as the driver door in a car, and because of its back position, it is also very often damaged.
In vehicies like trucks, the tailgate is very useful when it comes to loading or unloading items. In many cases, these tail gates get damaged due to heavy usage or their strength diminishes over time. There is no other solution than to replace it, and there is no better option that the original OEM tailgate with the same features, and updates.
Since the heavy duty trucks market is more competitive, bigger trucks such as Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, or ford F-250 are being used not only in traditional fields such as construction, now they are also very valuable for many outdoor family activities and sports. The auto designers have found enough reasons to offer a wide range of options to specifically beautify their tail gate, using inserts, lights, fillers, moldings, cameras or chromes that mark differences, that only increases their already high prices. It is also a great strategy to increase sales of medium size trucks such as Toyota Tacoma, Nissan frontier or ford F-150, models that have received many tailgate updates in all their regular variations of crew cab, extended cab, or regular, single cab as well.
You may be wondering why you should go for a used original tailgate at an auto wrecking yard, instead of the dealerships. Simply put, tailgates are very expensive. If you were to go to an auto recycler or check out a dealership you would be surprised at the staggering prices they have to offer. The dealer prices are usually 2 to 3 times higher than used, original tailgates at the junk yards.
