Compatible Models
We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.
- Toyota Tundra (2007-2021) with compatible factory-style tailgate damper mounting
- Regular Cab, Double Cab, and CrewMax body configurations using 66140-0C030 or 66140-0C010
Product Overview
A heavy Tundra tailgate can drop abruptly when the original damper weakens or disappears. This support shock restores controlled opening so the gate lowers in a more manageable motion instead of slamming downward.
The damper assists opening but does not replace the hinge, support cables, latch, or structural repairs. Inspect those parts and confirm the mounting points and listed reference before installation.
This is a high-quality aftermarket replacement or service part and is not manufactured or supplied by the original equipment brand.

Q: Should both sides have a damper? A: The listed application uses a single assist damper.
Q: Will it repair bent hinges or broken support cables? A: No. Structural and cable damage must be repaired separately.
