Tailgate pad straps are pretty short for my F150. would have been way easier to do if they were 4-6" longer. Also picture shows plastic buckles but actual product was metal clips, when those are dangling around they are more likely to scratch your tailgate. overall product works just could have been nicer.
Hi! Thanks for the feedback. We switched from plastic buckles to stainless steel buckles early on because plastic tends to wear down and break over time, especially with regular use. The stainless steel ones are much more durable and reliable.
We also did extensive testing to make sure the buckles don’t scratch your truck. That’s why the lower buckles are positioned 3–4 inches up on the back of the bag—so they don’t hit the bumper when closing the tailgate.
We’re sorry the straps for the tailgate pad felt a bit short. We designed the pad to fit a wide range of trucks, and thought we had it dialed in for the F-150—but it looks like we need to extend the straps slightly. We’re already working on that fix.
Thanks again for your feedback—it helps us keep improving!
