BDK Tailgate Mat 60" x 19.5" - Extra-Thick 1/2" Rubber Truck Bed Tailgate Liner, Trim-to-Fit Black

BDK's MT-600A is an extra-thick, trim-to-fit rubber tailgate mat that protects pickup tailgates from impacts, scratches and moisture.

Designed for truck owners who load tools, equipment and heavy cargo, the MT-600A tailgate mat is a universal 60" x 19.5" liner built from polymerized rubber for long-term durability. It arrives in a one-piece sheet you can cut to match your tailgate dimensions, and it includes hardware for straightforward installation. The mat's 1/2" thickness gives added cushioning and impact resistance while remaining flexible enough to trim and fasten securely.

How does this mat protect my tailgate from daily wear?

The MT-600A provides a physical barrier between your tailgate and whatever you load onto it, so knocks, tool edges and wet cargo are less likely to damage paint or dent metal. Its half-inch thickness absorbs shocks and distributes pressure across a larger area, reducing point-impact damage. The waterproof rubber material also prevents moisture from sitting directly on the tailgate surface.

• 1/2" polymerized latex thickness for impact absorption
• Full-coverage sheet blocks scratches, scuffs and moisture
• Durable rubber resists splitting, cracking and deformation

Will this fit my truck and how easy is it to install?

The mat is a universal size (60" L x 19.5" W) designed to be trimmed with ordinary scissors to achieve a custom fit for most tailgates. Installation is simple: trim to shape, align, and fasten with the included screws using a drill. The mat’s flexibility and included hardware let you secure it flush against the tailgate for a clean, stable fit.

• 60" x 19.5" trim-to-fit design adapts to many tailgate sizes
• Scissors are all you need to shape the liner accurately
• Hardware included for drill-in installation and firm attachment

How durable is the MT-600A in extreme or repetitive use?

BDK formulates the MT-600A from advanced rubber polymers tested to withstand repeated loads, temperature variation and outdoor exposure. The material is engineered to resist cracking, splitting and permanent deformation so the mat retains protective function over time. Routine cleaning and occasional inspections keep it performing at its best.

• Advanced rubber polymers resist weathering and wear
• Engineered to maintain shape under heavy tool and equipment loads
• Simple to clean—wipe down or hose off as needed

What are the practical benefits for everyday truck owners?

Beyond impact protection, the tailgate mat reduces noise and rattling when items shift during transport and prevents direct contact between wet or oily cargo and metal surfaces. It also helps preserve resale value by protecting the visible tailgate area from cosmetic damage. The universal, low-cost trim-to-fit approach delivers protection without ordering a costly custom liner.

• Minimizes noise from shifting cargo
• Prevents direct metal contact with wet or greasy loads
• Cost-effective alternative to custom-fit commercial mats

Who is this for? The BDK MT-600A tailgate mat is ideal for tradespeople, contractors, outdoor enthusiasts and any pickup owner who frequently hauls tools, equipment, or heavy items and wants straightforward, effective protection. If you value simple installation, strong impact resistance, and a trim-to-fit universal solution that preserves your truck’s tailgate condition, this mat is a practical, durable choice.
