Stabilus Invents the EZDown, Providing the First-Ever Affordable "Hands-Free" Truck Tailgate Lowering Device
Gastonia, NC (ContentDesk) June 30, 2006 -- New, from Stabilus, Inc., one of the World's leading automotive industry gas spring manufacturers, comes the EZDown "Hands-Free" Tailgate Damper which costs less than a typical bedcap or cargo organizer.EZDown was invented to provide greater ease and convenience in lowering pickup truck tailgates with a simple and affordable solution.
The Problem:
According to industry sales statistics, 85% of the pickup truck market is comprised of large pickups, and 70% of all pickup truck owners range from age 40 on up (with backs, knees, hips and shoulders that are less capable than they once were.)
Additionally, truck beds continue to increase storage volume by raising wall height, so tailgates are used for loading now more than ever, and older owners are faced with the chore of handling them (35-40 lbs. bare, and 65-70 lbs for those with liner applied.)Stabilus' EDZown kit equips pickup truck tailgates with soft-release, hands-free lowering, and using it couldn't be easier!
Simply pull your tailgate release and the EZDown damper does the rest, making your loading job quick and easy.
When closing the tailgate, EZDown helps ease the effort by counterbalancing the lifting load.
Easy-to-follow instructions and basic tools add up to a quick 5-minute installation, and it's even simpler to remove for tailgate storage or transfer to a new truck at trade-in time.Whether for easier truck bed access or for family and job-site convenience, the EZDown is a must have upgrade for your major model pickup.
The current product scope covers late model Ford F150, GMC Sierra, Chevy Silverado and Dodge Ram trucks.
During the course of the next year, Stabilus' goal is to develop additional kits that will work with a majority of the 40 million trucks registered and on the road in the U.S. today.For more information, contact us at (877)EZDOWN3 or visit our website, http://www.EZDown.com.
Ford To Be Part Of Texas Football
Texans are known for lots of things ? the hot weather, their love for ranches, and football. You can also add to the list their love for pickup trucks which is not very surprising. After all, pickup trucks are very useful in their everyday lives ? from their home duties to work responsibilities. What makes pickup trucks unique among all vehicles is that this type is very flexible and could handle various duties.
And now, the Ford Motor Company is using this Texan love for pickup trucks and football to show off what the company has got to give.
The company is actually planning on sponsoring awards that would be given to the Texas high school football player for the week. Indeed, this would be a good way to give back to its customers and at the same time advertise the products that the vehicle manufacturer has to offer. After all, Texas owns up to a huge share of customers who patronize Ford truck parts,...

How to Make Sleep Your Weight Loss Buddy
Copyright 2006 Mary Desaulniers
My friend, Gail, has been a restless sleeper since childhood. "It's rare that I get a goodnight's sleep," she confided in me several years ago. Her weight has been a problem as well, spiraling upwards of 60 lbs within the past 20 years. Like most of us, her exercise and diet plans begin with enthusiasm but fizzle out within the first month. "Just too tired to keep them going" is her excuse.
It wasn't until her doctor referred her to the Sleep...
