Good To Know

Q: Will this actuator make my tailgate close itself? A: It performs the cinch pull that seats the tailgate once it is brought to the latch, matching the original power cinch function. The tailgate still needs to be moved to the closed position first.

Q: Can I install this without special tools? A: Basic hand tools handle the latch access and mounting on most vehicles, though trim removal may be needed to reach the assembly. Confirm the latch circuit is receiving power before replacing the actuator.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
