In this review of the OTUAYAUTO rear hatch lift supports, the bottom line is simple: these replacement gas struts are a practical, affordable OEM-style option for Toyota Sequoia owners who need reliable rear hatch assist. They are aimed at DIYers and repair shops that want a direct-fit, easy-to-install pair that restores the hatch to near-factory function without special tools. The strongest reason to buy is straightforward compatibility and fitment for Sequoia 2008-2023 models, delivering consistent lift and noticeably reduced closing effort.

Key Features

• Direct OEM fit: Designed to replace the original rear hatch left and right supports for Sequoia 2008-2023, so they mount without modification.
• Exact fitment numbers: Meets common OEM replacement numbers such as 6656 and PM3173, helping ensure you get the correct part for this vehicle family.
• Optimized lengths: Extended length is 27.17in center-to-center and compressed length is 19.88in center-to-center, matching the hatch geometry for proper opening and closing.
• Durable seals and finish: High strength leak-proof piston seal and superior rod finish resist corrosion for longer, quieter service life.
• Tool-free installation: OE-style fitment and fasteners mean installation is quick and can be completed in minutes with common hand tools.
• Customer support: The brand offers assistance if quality problems arise, which provides added peace of mind after purchase.

Who It's For

This kit is best for Toyota Sequoia owners (2008 through 2023) and independent mechanics looking for a direct replacement that restores hatch lift assistance and reduces strain when opening or closing the rear hatch. It suits those who prefer a straightforward swap to OEM-style parts and expect consistent fit and function.

It is less appropriate for owners who want a custom lift rate or aftermarket performance tuning of the hatch action, or for someone who needs enhanced heavy-load supports beyond the factory specification. If extreme durability is a top priority, check long-term ownership reports and consider professional installation if uncertain.
