XTRusion Trailgate Inserts – High-Load Tailgate Reinforcement

The Essential Trailgate Inserts Collection

Your tailgate is the final piece of your truck's storage equation, but factory tailgates are often hollow, tapered, and rattle-prone. Xtrusion's Trailgate Inserts provide a heavy-duty, flat metal surface inside your tailgate, turning it into a secure 500+ lb load-bearing anchor point. Designed to keep heavy gear from sliding over the edge and provide a solid foundation for your recovery equipment, these inserts are essential for the serious overlander.

Heavy-Duty Construction & Load Distribution

Off-road travel places extreme torsional and static forces on your tailgate. Standard stamped steel cannot handle heavy dynamic loads, leading to metal fatigue and dangerous gear slippage. Xtrusion's Trailgate inserts are precision-manufactured from high-strength steel (or aluminum), creating a solid "floor" for your cargo that effectively bridges the tapered drop of your tailgate. This reinforcement not only prevents rattles but also creates a flat, vibration-resistant surface for mounting brackets and accessories.

Key Features of Our Trailgate Inserts

  • Massive Static Load Capacity: Reinforced construction supports up to 500+ lbs of static weight, far exceeding the limits of a standard factory tailgate.
  • Anti-Slide Protection: High-friction surfaces and a level platform prevent cargo from rolling over the back of the tailgate during steep descents.
  • Tapered Bed Solution: Engineered to level out the natural angle of tapered and straight beds, providing a true horizontal surface for your gear.
  • Modular Mounting Points: Pre-drilled or T-slot ready designs that allow you to secure bikes, heavy storage boxes, and recovery tools directly to the insert.
