Default 2016 Frontier tailgate support strut

looking for an EZ Down type tailgate strut for my new 2016 Frontier SV. Had one on my Tundra and it helped dampen the drop when tailgate was opened. I find listings for 2015 trucks but none for my 2016. Are any of you aware of such a product? Will the earlier {2015} unit fit my 2016 truck? Thanks for your help.

It should; I'm not aware of any changes to the tailgate design between the two years. They may not have updated their catalogs, yet.

Thanks for the help. I didn't see and difference in the tailgates, but sometimes it isn't obvious. All I know is, that tailgate is HEAVY and it comes down hard. Ill get in touch with a dealer and update this for everyone. Again, thanks for the response. FRANK

EZDown kit ordered came today.
Specs say [fits 2005 to present Frontier] Took about 10 minutes to install. Spent longer getting a 14 mm socket, 10 mm socket, and my metric Allen wrench set out than it took for actual installation. Good illustrated directions in the box. All supplied components fitted perfectly. Installation went smoothly.

EZDown lets the tailgate down slowly and quietly. No more Crash!!Bang!!
I do not anticipate any future problems but will post updates as needed.

I recommend this accessory to anyone with a second-generation Frontier.
