If you load heavy objects in and out of your pickup truck bed with the tailgate folded down, you've probably noticed that sliding things over the bed is easy, but getting objects over the cavities and indentations on the inside of your tailgate panel itself is quite a struggle. The one-piece Brite-Tread Full Tailgate Protector offers you the solution you've been waiting for. A flat diamond tread aluminum panel mounts to the inside of your tailgate to completely revise the landscape of your truck's loading area. It protects the inside of your tailgate panel from dents, scratches and the elements, and its solid construction also serves to keep it free from damage as well. Unlike products from competitors, an integrated lip is built in to the Full Tailgate Protector to wrap over the top of the tailgate panel, so that vulnerable edge is protected.

Heavy gauge construction using the highest grade of aluminum ensures the Full Tailgate Protector will continue to look good without tarnishing and remain free from corrosion as long as you own your vehicle. Since the Full Tailgate Protector offers a flat, even surface that you won't find anywhere else on your truck, it provides a great usable working surface in a spot that is easiest to access. Dee Zee proudly manufactures the Full Tailgate Protector in the United States and to ensure your satisfaction, they back it with a limited lifetime warranty against defects or corrosion.

Since 1977, Iowa-based Dee Zee® has sought to create products and accessories for trucks and SUVs with class-leading levels of style, quality, and longevity.

Dee Zee believes that it is extremely important to be environmentally aware and views efficient manufacturing to minimize pollution and waste as a corporate responsibility. That philosophy goes hand in hand with fundamental beliefs that a product which effectively resists corrosion represents a better value for the customer - giving it a longer useful lifespan instead of becoming more junk in a landfill.

Excellent Side Bed Caps!!
Dee Zee® DZ11992 - Brite-Tread™ Side Bed Wrap Caps with Stake Holes
These bed caps are beautiful and fit my 2001 Silverado perfectly. Installation instructions were specific and installation went seamlessly. These are extremely high quality and will certainly outlast any of the "less expensive" ones. I would certainly recommend this product.

DeeZee Bed Rails
Dee Zee® DZ31967B - Black-Tread™ Side Bed Wrap Caps with Stake Holes
Awesome product and quick shipping. Packaging from the company shipping out could be more rigid. First set was bent but CARiD was awesome! Got in chat with a rep, sent pics of item, new ones shipped in less than 12 hours. Killer support love them. Great follow up and very useful application tools. 10 stars on support and follow up.

Nice But Could Be Better

This is a decent product. Pretty darn thin though. One corner was bent while in transit but I was able to bend back and luckily it's not easily seen. CARiD was fantastic with with speedy shipping.
