Should the tailgate go down slowly?
I just noticed the hydraulic struts on the lower tailgate on our X5. Is the tailgate supposed to go down slowly on our X's?

A friend has an 07 Tundra, and I noticed that his tailgate goes down slowly because of a 1 way strut connected to it. I now wonder if my X5 should have the same thing, and my struts happen to be worn out.
