Does not work on 2024 ranger.
I found out the same thing on my 2025.

But maybe there is a Ford accessory that fits? The parts diagram shows a "lift cylinder", part number N1WZ-26442A38-B, on the driver's side of the tailgate. It also shows a ball stud, part number N1WZ-26404A42-A.

By the way, I can't tell that the stock torsion rod does much on its own to dampen the tailgate.

The torsion bar helps take the weight off. Not dampen. And all 24+ now come with the dampener.

If by dampener you mean the " lift cylinder" that I linked above, my 2025 XL did not come with one.

Then, yes. Use the factory ones as the previous ones are made for last Gen that didn't come with them.
