ProLift Tailgate Assist for Isuzu D-Max 2020–2026
The third-generation Isuzu D-Max brought meaningful improvements across the board, but the tailgate is still a heavy, two-handed job without assistance. The ProLift Tailgate Assist is engineered specifically for the RG platform, attaching to the factory hinge points to introduce a gas strut that controls descent speed and reduces lift effort. Whether you're on a construction site, at a boat ramp, or loading up for a weekend away, the tailgate becomes a one-hand operation.
Features:
- Gas strut damper prevents the tailgate from crashing down under its own weight
- Noticeably reduces the effort required to raise the tailgate
- Bracket set designed and profiled for the RG platform D-Max
- Bolt-on installation — uses existing factory hinge mounting points
- No drilling, no cutting, no visible modification
- Suits SX, LS-M, LS-U and X-Terrain variants
Fitment:
This kit fits the Isuzu D-Max third generation (RG platform) from the 2020 model year through to current 2026 production. It is not compatible with second-generation D-Max models (2012–2019) — see the dedicated kit for that generation in our ProLift range.
Complete your D-Max setup with tailgate central locking, a sliding tray, or a tub mat from UniUte.
