Toyota RAV4 2.5L electric tailgate strut — restore a trunk that opens on its own
This electric tailgate strut for the Toyota RAV4 2.5L is a powered trunk support designed for 2013-2016 models, OEM part number 68920-09010. A tailgate that falls back down, stops halfway, or refuses to stay open turns every loading task into a chore. With a new strut with the correct part number, your RAV4's trunk will regain its full, quiet, and controlled range of motion, just like on day one.
A component designed for your Toyota RAV4
This is not a universal strut cut to the right length, but a RAV4 electric tailgate support that uses the manufacturer's part number 68920-09010: the same range of motion, the same pushing force, and the same electrical connection. This ensures that the powered tailgate retains its original operation, without jerking or stopping unexpectedly during opening.
Technology, quality & finish
The electric tailgate strut combines an electric motor, a drive screw, and a telescopic body protected against splashes. The metal construction and surface treatment are designed for continuous exposure to the elements, road salt, and temperature fluctuations. This is a moving part that is operated several times a day: manufacturing quality directly determines its service life.

Installation, compatibility & durability
Installation involves replacing the original strut: remove the tailgate trim, disconnect the connector, release the upper and lower ball joints, then install the new part in reverse order. Always support the tailgate during installation; never rely on the strut alone. Compatibility should still be checked according to your version and model year: compare the part number engraved on your current strut before ordering. If in doubt, professional installation ensures the range of motion is correctly calibrated and avoids programming errors.
Should both tailgate struts be replaced at the same time?
On a powered tailgate, both sides work together and have aged together. If one fails after several years of service, the other is generally close to the same level of wear. Replacing the pair prevents an imbalance of force that prematurely wears out the new strut and can cause the tailgate to stop mid-motion. Warning signs include: the tailgate falling down on its own, rack noise, or opening that stops halfway or requires manual assistance. A worn electric trunk strut will eventually disable the entire function.
