Whether you need to access the bed for work or play, the ProGlide allows you to open and close the tailgate with one hand while keeping both feet firmly on the ground. Say goodbye to your tailgate slamming down and straining your back- the ProGlide lowers the tailgate in a balanced manner that's both gentle on the hinges and kind to your spine.
