Tailgate Slams Open

Deezee tailgate assist for $30 and you can stop worrying about this

I understand I can do that and Ford also makes a shock option but I'm not going to pay for something that should already be there.

Take it back to your dealer and tell them to order the OEM shock and install it. It takes all of 10 minutes.

I understand, my question is simply was it supposed to come with the truck or not as all the videos I see on YouTube see the tailgate coming down slowly. I can order the shock and install it myself if it's an extra item.

I have the option and mine goes down slow. Everyone is telling you to take it in. So, take it in!

I took it in any they say they have to take the tailgate off to look at the pivot pin as something might be wrong, they seemed a bit clueless. Does yours have a shock or is it some kind of resistive hinge?
