If your Forthing T5 still relies on a manual tailgate, this kit changes that. It brings a quiet motor, obstacle sensing, and key-fob operation to the T5's rear hatch, with a remembered height setting so it stops exactly where you want it every time.
Decoin's Electric Tailgate Power Lift for the T5 replaces manual lifting with a whisper-quiet motor that raises and lowers the tailgate smoothly and consistently, cutting out the noise and effort of the stock setup.
While closing, the system checks for resistance - a bag strap, a box edge, a hand still in the way - and automatically pauses and reopens rather than pressing through. Double bar support beyond factory standard keeps the T5's tailgate stable and evenly weighted through repeated use.
The lift responds to your existing T5 key fob, a button by the driver's seat, and a control on the tailgate itself. It also memorizes your preferred open height, so once set, a long press locks it in for consistent clearance in tight garages.
Fitting the kit takes simple hand tools and a complete manual (paper or electronic), so most T5 owners can finish the job themselves without booking a shop visit.
Automatic operation, gesture control, height adjustability, obstacle detection, memory function, one-touch operation, anti-pinch protection, hands-free and foot-activated triggers, key fob remote control, jam protection, and soft-close.
Does this kit fit both early and later T5 model years? The kit is matched to the T5's tailgate mounting points, so it fits model years that came without a factory power liftgate.
Will the tailgate still open manually if the motor fails? Yes, manual operation remains available at any time as a fallback.
How long is the installation manual? It's a concise step-by-step guide covering mounting, wiring, and height calibration, available in paper or digital format.
