Tailgate Cap Smoothback

The Tailgate Cap Smoothback by Husky Liners is a protective bed closure system designed for truck owners who demand clean aesthetics and functional cargo security. This component solves a common problem: exposed tailgate gaps that collect debris, allow weather penetration, and disrupt the clean lines of a finished truck profile. Whether you're a daily-driver mechanic protecting your tools or a weekend warrior maintaining resale value, a tailgate cap bridges the gap between your truck bed and tailgate while eliminating the catch-all space where dirt and moisture accumulate.

Built with Husky Liners' precision engineering, the Smoothback variant features a low-profile, seamless design that creates a flush transition from bed to tailgate—no mounting brackets protruding visibly. The smooth surface accepts paint or protective coating without interference, allowing full customization to match your truck's finish. At 2.6 pounds, the lightweight construction minimizes added weight while the durable polymer-based material resists UV degradation, road salt, and temperature cycling. The 65.75-inch length accommodates full-size truck beds, and the 6 x 3.75-inch profile ensures compatibility with standard tailgate hardware without modification to existing components.

This tailgate cap is ideal for truck owners who prioritize both form and function—mechanics who need sealed storage, fleet operators protecting cargo integrity, and enthusiasts restoring or customizing their vehicles. Installation requires no permanent bed modifications, making it reversible for resale or upgrade scenarios. The smoothback profile integrates seamlessly with tonneau covers, bed liners, and aftermarket lighting without binding or clearance issues. Compatibility spans most full-size domestic and import truck platforms; verify your truck's tailgate dimensions against the 65.75-inch width for optimal fit.
