EZDown

This Youth Day, we celebrate the energy, ambition, and determination of South Africa's young people.
At EZDown, we believe that innovation starts with those who dare to think differently, work harder, and drive change. In spite of the challenges and rampant unemployment, we see stories of youth forging their own paths. Today's youth are building the future—on the road, in business, and in every community across our nation.
We applaud the young dreamers, the young doers, and the next generation of South African leaders.
Happy Youth Day, South Africa!

Our customers are our biggest fans… here’s a recent email we got:

From Marthinus, an EZDown Tailgate Lowering Kit customer.
A very sincere thank you for you exceptionally very well engineered and manufactured products.

I purchased and installed an EZDown for my Mazda BT50 Double cab (last Ford build) in March 2014. A photo of the original packaging is attached. The Ezdown was easy to install and worked flawlessly for more than 12 years. When I sold my BT50 in May 2026, the EzDown still looked brand new, no rust, discolouration or any other signs of long term use and it operated as on day one. This far exceeded any expectations and the EzDown brand was thus the only consideration for my new Triton double cab. I purchased the EzDown and DIY installed it in less than 15 minutes. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, the handful of parts fitted my vehicle perfectly and it operates perfectly.

My primary consideration for installing a tailgate damper is for safety:
a vehicle tailgate which can accidentally fall down is very dangerous and can kill a child or large animal or inflict serious injury to an adult. I am thus of the opinion that a tailgate damper should be a mandatory safety mechanism for any such vehicle whether it's for personal or commercial use. My secondary consideration is to prevent or minimise possible damage to the tailgate should it accidentally fall down onto an object. My final consideration is for the convenience especially when opening the tailgate with one hand while providing a "premium" ergonomic feel and appearance to the vehicle.

Thank you for manufacturing such important and outstanding products!

Happy Workers’ Day, South Africa!

We owe you an honest update.

We’ve made the difficult decision to cancel the EZDown Hope Campaign for now. Despite our best efforts, we didn’t receive any nominations and cannot move forward in a way that truly reflects the impact we set out to make.

That’s on us.

We believe in the idea behind this campaign and what it stands for, but it’s clear we need to rethink how we bring it to life and how we connect with you to make it meaningful.

Thank you to everyone who showed interest, shared, and supported the initiative — it genuinely means a lot. We’re taking this as a learning moment and will come back stronger, with something better and more impactful.

If you have thoughts, feedback, or ideas on how we can improve, we’d love to hear from you.

Today we celebrate the spirit of unity, resilience and progress.
This Freedom Day, we honour the journey of our nation, and the Freedom that drives us forward every day.
From all of us at EZDown, here’ to building a stronger, more empowered South Africa – together!
