Description

Your tailgate has to put up with a lot of abuse—freight dragging across it, timber crashing down on it and, finally, being slammed shut against overfull loads. Give your cargo bay door complete protection against dents, grazes and nicks with Dee Zee’s Brite-Tread Full Tailgate Protector.

The Brite-Tread Full Tailgate Protector is fully custom-designed for a precise fit onto your truck. Your entire tailgate is protected—from the top edge down to the base. That way, you’re always covered when your cargo decides to start sliding around.

Wrought from heavy-duty aluminum, your Brite-Tread Full Tailgate Protector can withstand even the most punishing conditions. Plus, the diamond-tread finish adds a tough edge to your truck’s presence.

For an intense defense against the elements, your Brite-Tread Full Tailgate Protector is treated with Dee Zee’s special powder coating. Choose between the BriteGuard polished coating or the glossy Black-Tread finish. 1-year warranty.

Notes

  • For the most secure mount possible, some light drilling is required to install your Brite-Tread Full Tailgate Protector.

Super Duty black tailgate protector

Posted on 07/01/2006 by Michael B. (Orangeburg,SC)

"I've had my tailgate protector for a few weeks now and so far have been fairly pleased. It fits fairly well but you should know that it doesn't come all the way to the bottom of the tailgate (none of the protectors do for any models that I know of) and you will probably want to keep your factory tailgate cap on under it for a cleaner look. Other than that, it looks very sharp, and I'm pleased with both it and the promptness of my order!"

Okay Product

Posted on 02/23/2006 by Sanford G. (Healdsburg,CA)

"The DEE ZEE Tailgate protector I recieved for my 2005 Dodge appears to be okay. I set it on the tailgate to check fit only. It is a little short and does not go all the way to the bottom of the gate. I ordered the Dee Zee bed caps and front bed protector as well. I am still waiting for the front bed protect, as it was back ordered 45 days. The bed rails do not fit well. There are four spacers that set it 1/2 inch off the inside of the bed rail. I am sending the rails back. I hope the Front protector gets here soon as I paid for it long ago and can't get the rails or tailgate on until I have all the pieces for fit."
