Lift Assist

On the window sticker from my 2016 f-250 under the "Standard equipment included @ No Extra Charge" It says Locking removable Tailgate w/Lift assist?


My question is what in the sam hills are they talking about Lift assist? To me the tail gate opens just like a normal one without lift assist?? Actually I have been pricing the DeeZEE tail gate lift support and am thinking about putting on of those on the heavy thing............

You have a torsion spring that runs across the bottom of the tailgate that lowers the effort to open and close. When I put a 2016 tailgate on my '03 the difference was very noticeable, especially to my wife.
