What is the general consensus on this?

Okay, I'm not always up on the latest trends, so maybe I missed this and everyone else has seen it. I'm not sure what to think about it. It doesn't help that the before and after photos are not even the same color Gladiator.

Not my style, but I can see the possible functionality in it

I don't like it myself. I like the military look of the Glad.

Wow, I don’t know what to think. It’s not attractive, at all, to me, but I can see a great of functionality…

Yep! I was torn. I like how the video shows how to install it without any words.

how much weight is the tailgate designed to hold? Looks like a good spot to mount a highlift jack and a shovel. But that tailgate will probably get coated in dirt, so maybe it needs a cover?

This thing weighs 25 pounds. I'm not sure how much stuff you could carry on it. I really like the look of it loaded up with stuff.

I simply don't like it and it also looks like a thief magnet.

If you need to add this to your tailgate because you’ve exhausted all available space then you just need a bigger truck. Tacky AF

Bad idea for a daily street driver. I wouldn't want to be behind anyone with a bunch of tools strapped to the tailgate. I also wouldn't want to put my tools on the outside of my truck like that.

It's the perfect product though for guys that like to ride around and attract attention from most drivers who just think they've got too much time on their hands. You could also mound "pre-runner lights" underneath the mesh shell to use as accent lights and attract even more eyeballs who will no doubt be super impressed with your "Rig".

This would allow me to move my hi-lift from my hood to my tailgate. Or even better, I could carry 2 of them!

I still don't think it looks bad. As long as you only put larger items like jacks and axes and gas cans on it, and they can be locked down, then it's fine.

Strikes me as "hey, come take my shit".

What happens if you have to actually drop your tailgate? Have to take all that stuff off beforehand?

It is one of those things that looks cool at first glance, but once you drill down a bit on the idea, it fades pretty quick from being practical in my opinion anyways.

Probably the reason I've never seen it. It's just a bad idea.
