Your pickup's tailgate is one of the most damage-prone areas of the exterior, subjected to countless objects haphazardly loaded into the bed. As such, it's not uncommon to note sizable dents and scratches on the tailgates of pickups, even those only a year or two old! Instead of accepting this unsightly damage as inevitable, invest in a heavy-duty tailgate cap, like the Bushwacker OE-style unit!

The Bushwacker OE Style Tailgate Cap is a sleek, factory-inspired unit featuring a smooth design and textured black finish. Each tailgate cap is vehicle-specific, ensuring a flawless fit and finish on any application!

Bushwacker constructs its OE Style Tailgate Caps from premium Dura-Flex material, which, as the name suggests, offers exceptional durability and flexibility! This product remains tough yet flexible at any ambient temperature, withstanding impacts and abrasions with little to no visible wear. This material is also UV resistant, resisting fading, chalking, and cracking commonly associated with black exterior plastics.

Bushwacker OE Style Tailgate Caps feature a simple no-drill installation, adhering to your vehicle's tailgate with automotive-grade 3M double-sided adhesive tape. That means no cutting, trimming, or drilling; just peel and stick!

This product is manufactured in the USA with global materials and backed by a limited lifetime warranty. Bushwacker is a RealTruck company, so when you order an OE Style Tailgate Cap or any other Bushwacker product from us, you're purchasing directly from the manufacturer.
