Available Truck Tailgate Seal Products to Prevent Dust from Entering Truck Bed

Question

Question:

I need a seal gasket to keep dust out of the bed of my F 150 2017 sport 4x4. The seal would need to go on the bottom and sides of the tailgate/bed. What do you recommend? Thank you!

We offer a few different tailgate seal products including the Access TrailSeal Tailgate Gasket you referenced, part # 834532001583. This kit uses 9-1/2-foot-long material that measures 1-1/8-inch x 5/8-inch for a tight fit on virtually any truck.

TruXedo offers their Universal Tailgate TruxSeal # TX1703206 which is 10-feet long and slightly wider at 1-1/4-inches. Extang offers their 10-foot-long MaxSeal Tailgate Seal # EX1140 which is 1-3/8-inch wide.

Since these items are pretty similar overall I suggest using the one that most closely matches the size of the gaps at your tail gate. I linked an installation video for the Access TrailSeal so you can see it in use.
