Every time I use the DEE ZEE I think to myself what a great add on. I bought one for my Grandson for his RAM. He loves it.:)

I am still getting used to mine. Always hold the tailgate like half way down and then I'm like **** what did I buy this thing for if I'm not going to use it and let it go lol



Tell me about it...lol. Took me a while to remember mine was assisted. lol. Now it's got me spoiled so if I ever go to lower someone else's tailgate, I have to remember to not just unlatch it and let go of it...lol.

Lol! In need to pick one up. Where did you purchase yours or where do you recommend purchasing it from?

You can get them all over, many people order them online but I got mine down at the local Oreileys. 25 bucks I think and they had them for Ford, Chevy and Dodge. They might even make these things for Toyota and Nissan, or anything else that has a traditional tailgate but that might only be an online availability thing.

I was tempted to do that, but the weight of the 100lbs mats put me off.



TRUTH ^^^ It's pretty heavy...
Actually for my short bed the mat weighs about 130 lbs after trimming. The 5x7 mat weighed 150 lbs before I fixed it. I suppose that is an important consideration for some. As for my 3500 CTD, it just doesn't sweat it... and it makes a fantastic base for my Arctic Fox 865 TC.

The best mod I bought for under $100 was the quick release grill from Geno's garage.
