## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this fit the all new gen ranger wildtrak 2023 model?**
A: According to the manufacturer, this model only fits the 2019-2022 Ford Ranger.

**Q: Boss Good morning can this be fittid here in Philippines Ford ranger xls 2020?**
A: It seems unlikely that Ford would change the tailgate on a Philippines Ranger from a continental Ranger. It "should" be fine.

**Q: The amazon banner states it will not fit my 2020 ford ranger but the description below says it does?????**
A: It fit my 2019 just fine. I believe there is no change to 2020 tailgate. Also, it works great!

**Q: Does this fit on a 2022 ranger ?**
A: I would say yes, from 2019-2022 are all generation One models. 2023 model will be the first of Gen2

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ RS-Ford Tailgate Assist
*by R***Y on August 8, 2025*

I just installed this tailgate assist and it was a breeze to install! I'm not really sure where and why it got its name Dee Zee, but it is a good product. It has good solid materials. The instructions and video are great and easy to follow (not that it's hard to install). This was specific for a 2021 Ford Ranger.
