Had the Amarok home delivered with gas 'slow down' struts fitted. $100. kaching!
Didn't realize that the torsion bar is an optional extra. Used to be standard last time I bought a vehicle with a tailgate.
Anywaaaaaay, faced with the dilemma now. Get the tailgate torsion bar spring fitted at the first service or buy the 'Slow Down/ EZ up' gas assist struts. Can get the gas struts for $140 delivered. But this means throwing out perfectly good struts at $100 for the pair.
Has anyone had any experience with the new gas lift struts?
