DriGard Soft-Surface Tailgate Mat for the 2005-2022 Toyota Tacoma with Hook-and-Loop Secure Fit
The Husky Liners HBMY05TG Guardian Comfort Tailgate Mat delivers targeted tailgate protection for the 2005-2022 Toyota Tacoma. The HBMY05TG uses Husky Liners' proprietary DriGard top layer, which provides a soft, cushioned surface that protects paint, grips cargo, and is comfortable on knees during loading and unloading. The tailgate mat installs in 30 minutes or less using adhesive-backed hook-and-loop fasteners with no drilling required, and it works as a standalone upgrade or paired with any Guardian-style Tacoma bed mat for full coverage. The DriGard surface resists UV fading, moisture, chemicals, stains, and odors for a like-new appearance through years of use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Husky Liners HBMY05TG fit the 2016-2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road?Yes. The HBMY05TG is custom-fit for the 2005-2022 Toyota Tacoma, covering the TRD Off-Road and all other trims listed in the fitment table. The tailgate dimensions are consistent across Tacoma trims for these model years, so the mat installs with the same hook-and-loop process regardless of trim level.
Can I use the HBMY05TG tailgate mat with a Tacoma bed mat?Yes. The Guardian Comfort Tailgate Mat is designed to work as a standalone accessory or as part of a modular coverage system alongside any Guardian-style Husky Liners bed mat for the Tacoma. Pairing the two gives you complete bed and tailgate protection with the same DriGard surface throughout.
How does the HBMY05TG attach to the tailgate?The HBMY05TG uses adhesive-backed hook-and-loop fasteners that are included in the box. The fasteners bond to the tailgate interior surface and secure the mat without drilling or permanent modification. Installation takes 30 minutes or less and the mat can be removed and reinstalled without damage to the tailgate finish.
Does the DriGard surface on the HBMY05TG prevent cargo from sliding?Yes. The DriGard top layer provides meaningful grip for cargo, gear bags, and boxes during loading and unloading. It performs better than bare painted tailgate surfaces at keeping items from sliding. For very heavy or loose items, it works best when combined with a bed mat to create a consistent surface from the tailgate to the cab.
Will the Husky Liners tailgate mat work on a Tacoma with a spray-in bedliner?The HBMY05TG is designed for the tailgate interior surface, which is typically not included in spray-in bedliner applications. In most cases the tailgate receives either no coating or a separate spray-in application. The hook-and-loop fasteners will bond to a textured spray-in surface, but adhesion may vary. Clean the surface thoroughly before applying the fasteners for best results.
Is the HBMY05TG easy to clean after muddy off-road use?Yes. The DriGard surface wipes down easily with a damp cloth or rinses clean with a hose. For heavy mud from trail use, a soft brush and mild soap remove debris quickly. The mat can be removed from the tailgate for a more thorough rinse if needed. The surface's built-in odor resistance helps prevent lingering smells after hauling wet gear or organic material.
Does the Husky Liners HBMY05TG fit the 2023 or newer Tacoma?No. The HBMY05TG is designed for the 2005-2022 Toyota Tacoma. The 2024 and newer Tacoma (4th generation) uses a different tailgate design and requires a separate part number. Check Husky Liners' fitment tool on their website for the correct part number for your specific model year.
Does the tailgate mat protect the paint on my Tacoma's tailgate?Yes. The primary function of the HBMY05TG is to protect the tailgate paint from scratches caused by cargo, tools, and debris during loading. The soft DriGard cushioned layer absorbs contact rather than letting items drag directly across the painted surface, which is particularly valuable on trucks where the tailgate is lowered frequently.
Installation Instructions
- Lower the tailgate fully and clean the interior surface with a mild cleaner, removing all wax, grease, and debris.
- Dry the tailgate surface completely before applying any fasteners.
- Peel the backing from the adhesive-backed hook-and-loop fasteners and apply them to the tailgate interior at the positions indicated in the included instructions.
- Press each fastener firmly for 30 seconds to ensure full adhesion.
- Allow the adhesive to cure for at least one hour before attaching the mat.
- Position the HBMY05TG tailgate mat and press it onto the fasteners until it seats securely.
- Test the fit by lightly pulling the mat edges to confirm all fastener points are engaged.
