The Dee Zee DZ2145B Tailgate Protector (also known as a tailgate cap) is the perfect way to shield the top edge of your Ram truck’s tailgate from dents, scratches, dings, and oxidation. Crafted from heavy-gauge Brite-Tread aluminum with a durable black-tread powder coat finish, this cap delivers a sleek gloss-black appearance while providing long-lasting protection. Designed as a tailgate cap only, it installs quickly over the top lip of the tailgate and is engineered to fit a wide range of Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 models from 2009 through 2026. Non-rusting aluminum construction ensures years of worry-free use in all weather conditions.
