ProLift Tailgate Assist for Toyota Hilux SR5 2015–2025
The Hilux tailgate is heavy by design — which makes dropping it unloaded a jarring experience and lifting it one-handed with tools in the other hand genuinely difficult. The ProLift Tailgate Assist solves this with a gas strut damper that attaches to the factory tailgate hinges, slowing the descent and taking the weight out of the lift. The result is smooth, controlled tailgate operation every time, with no modifications to the vehicle.
Features:
- Gas strut damper controls descent speed — no more slamming or crashing tailgates
- Significantly reduces lift effort when raising the tailgate
- Vehicle-specific brackets for the Hilux N80 platform — bolt-on fit
- No drilling, no cutting, no permanent modification
- Durable construction suited to daily work and off-road use
- Compatible with aftermarket trays and tub liners
Fitment:
This kit fits the Toyota Hilux SR5 from 2015 through to the current 2025 facelift (N80 platform). Not suitable for earlier Hilux generations. Confirm your grade and build year before ordering.
Pair the ProLift with tailgate central locking for a complete tailgate upgrade, or explore our full range of tub mats and sliding trays for the Hilux.
