"We’ve outfitted several of our work trucks—2006 to 2008 Ford F-150s—with these tailgate caps. They’re just like what you’d get from the dealership, only much more affordable. The quality is top-notch, and I haven’t had a single complaint from the team. Highly recommend for the value and fit."

"Installing this on my 2018 F-150 made a huge difference. The tailgate now opens slowly and safely, no more slamming down. The instructions were clear, and I didn’t have to drill anything.

"I found this pad very easy to install on my Santa Cruz. It offers great padding and solid bike security. Only minor issue is it's a touch too long for my tailgate, so I need to adjust the sides, but it’s not a big deal. Overall, it works as advertised and makes bike hauling simple."

"I was surprised at how quick and effortless it was to set up. It took just a few minutes to attach to my Maverick and my bikes were well protected and stayed in place during transport. It’s a game-changer for taking bikes out."
