HUK Tailgate Pad

TPU, or Thermoplastic Polyurethane, is a highly flexible and durable plastic that is resistant to abrasion. It is important for the Kuat Huk Tailgate Pad because it provides a soft touch that protects both your bikes and your truck from scratches and damage during transport. This means you can confidently carry your bikes without worrying about wear and tear on your vehicle.

A tailgate pad is designed to cover the tailgate of your truck, preventing scratches and dents from bike frames and accessories. It features secure straps or buckles that hold your bikes in place, ensuring they don’t shift during transport. This dual protection helps maintain the condition of both your truck and your bikes, making it a smart investment for any biking enthusiast.

Nylon straps are strong, flexible bands made from a synthetic material known for its durability and resistance to stretching. In the context of the tailgate pad, these straps are essential for securely attaching the pad to your truck and for holding the bikes in place. Their strength ensures that even heavy bikes remain stable during transport, giving you peace of mind on the road.

The fold-up window feature allows you to access your truck's tailgate while the pad is still attached. This is crucial for functionality, as it enables you to load and unload items easily without removing the pad. Additionally, it maintains visibility through the backup camera, ensuring safe maneuvering when reversing your truck.

Bike capacity refers to the number of bikes the tailgate pad can hold, which varies by size. For instance, the 51-inch and 54-inch pads can accommodate up to 5 bikes, while the 61-inch pad can hold up to 6 bikes. To determine the right capacity for your needs, consider how many bikes you typically transport and choose a pad that meets or exceeds that number.

Yes! While the primary purpose of the tailgate pad is to transport bikes, it can also be used for other outdoor activities. The durable material and secure straps make it suitable for carrying items like kayaks, paddleboards, or even camping gear. This versatility adds value to your purchase, making it a great accessory for various adventures.
