The EZDown’s quick disconnect dampers prevent a tailgate from slamming shut by absorbing the speed of descent. This makes opening and closing the tailgate not only more convenient, but safer – kids won’t get knocked out.

The system works in tandem with a vehicle’s standard cables, so a tailgate will retain its factory-rated load capacity.

The fast-growing Australian company has come a long way from its online-only origins. It’s now an official Supplier Branded Option with Volkswagen Australia, meaning your new Amarok can be optioned with the EZDown before it leaves the dealership.

Mazda was the first Australian company to offer the EZDown as a factory accessory. And globally, the product has infiltrated Chile and Europe. While in South Africa, the EZDown is a genuine option with Volkswagen, Ford, Mazda and Toyota.

With a growing dealer network – the product is now shifted Australia-wide – the company’s expectation of becoming a “must-have” 4x4 accessory is coming to fruition.

The most-popular installation is for the VW Amarok, Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux, Holden Colorado and Nissan Navara NP300.

We installed the EZDown to the rear of a Toyota Hilux, and the easy job only took about 20 minutes (thanks in part to the easy-to-read instructions).
