TRQ Right Power Lift Gate Actuator Shock Strut For 2014-2019 Toyota

In this review of the TRQ Right Power Lift Gate Actuator Shock Strut, the bottom line is simple: this is a practical, direct-fit replacement for Highlander owners with a passenger-side power liftgate who want an easy swap and reliable function. The reviewer found it best for DIYers who prefer a pre-assembled part that mirrors the original in function and attachment points. The kit's emphasis on compatibility and straightforward installation makes it the single biggest reason to choose this replacement part if the original support has failed.

Key Features

• Direct Fit Replacement: Supplied as a pre-assembled power liftgate actuator designed to match original attachment points so no modification is required during installation.
• Vehicle Compatibility: Built specifically for passenger-side power liftgate applications on 2014 through 2019 Toyota Highlander models, which simplifies fitment decisions for those model years.
• Durable Construction: The body is made of steel to provide a sturdy support that resists wear and helps maintain liftgate stability over time.
• Reference Numbers: Includes factory cross-reference numbers 68910-09120, 6891009120 and Tuff Support 615107 to help confirm correct part selection.
• DIY Support: Backed by the brand's DIY video resources to help users "view before they do" and complete the replacement with confidence.

Who It's For

This part is aimed at Toyota Highlander owners (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019) who have a passenger-side power liftgate that no longer holds or operates correctly and who prefer a hands-on repair. It is particularly useful for DIYers who want a direct-fit assembly that reduces installation time and avoids fabrication.

It is less suitable for vehicles outside the listed model years or for owners who need a driver-side or non-power liftgate support. Buyers who require a custom-length piston or non-steel body material for a specific aftermarket setup should look elsewhere.
