This is a heavier duty one that works with a Luggage rack on it.

I ordered this replacement strut and was able to install it yesterday. It fit my F3L just fine and does the job perfectly. Installation is not hard as long as you don't loose the U band. I lost it but the U-band off the original strut worked fine. (Someday I'll probably find it and wonder what it is and where it came from) :gaah:

On the newer Rt and f3l ( 2020 and newer) the truck lid strut is not robust to continually work in keeping the lid open and especially if parked on uphill or on windy conditions. Both my 2020 RTL and 2022 F3L Limited worked for a few months then lost it's functional capability. I now use a small rubber door stop wedged between lid and passenger seat back. Have on order a better built strut rod to replace oem.

My new 2023 F3 LTD special the lid stays open, and it has a luggage rack on it.

I have not had any problems with the lid.

I have had my new 2023 F3 LTD Special for almost a month now.
