    Product Details

    Brite-Tread™ Tailgate Cap (DZ2142) by Dee Zee®. Material: Aluminum. Finish: Brite. Protect the top edge of your truck's tailgate panel with this diamond-tread pattern cap that bolts on to prevent scratches and dents that occur when materials and items get tossed in to the bed. Polished aluminum provides dazzling radiance, high strength, and freedom from corrosion. Limited lifetime manufacturer warranty.

    If you load heavy objects in and out of your pickup truck bed with the tailgate up, you may already have noticed how easy it is to scratch the top edge of the tailgate panel. And if you've ever tossed heavy items or debris into the bed, you know it only takes one miscalculation to bounce something off the tailgate top and leave a dent that's there to stay. The one-piece Brite-Tread Tailgate Cap offers a stylish solution to this problem, with a contoured diamond tread aluminum piece that mounts along the top of your tailgate panel. Not only does the tailgate cap protect the top of your tailgate panel from dents, scratches and the elements, its solid construction also serves to keep it free of damage as well.

    Heavy gauge construction using the highest grade of aluminum ensures the Brite-Tread Tailgate Cap will continue to look good without tarnishing and remain free from corrosion as long as you own your vehicle. Since the Tailgate Cap offers a hard shell, it makes a great resting surface for long items such as lumber that must be carried sticking out of the bed. Dee Zee proudly manufactures the Brite-Tread Tailgate Cap in the United States and to ensure your satisfaction, they back it with a limited lifetime warranty against defects or corrosion.

    I bought the side caps and they both look get on the truck. The problems with these are cheap powder coat and very thin metal. So watch for scratches and denting them. Also they don't come down as far as stock cap did. So u will have a line of where the old one was if that bothers you. But the installation was a breeze 4 screws and on she was. Just would not use for a work truck. I'd buy plastic ones for that. I would buy again but just wish the metal was thicker and it was a good powder coating.

    Excellent Side Bed Caps!!
    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
    Awesome product and quick shipping. Packaging from the company shipping out could be more rigid. First set was bent but TRUCKiD 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. TRUCKiD was fantastic with with speedy shipping.

    The caps are made of aluminum and not from plastic. They look shiny and are a beautiful addition to my truck.
