Tailgates

I got a new fifth wheel and am thinking about putting a fifth wheel tailgate on it (for only those times that I pull the Fver) and am torn between the plastic.... metal.... or the net...

Any ideas would be appreciated

Thanks

Metal

You can not put anything heavy on a plastic tailgate. Example, if you need to unload or load something heavy you can not set it down on the open tailgate.

Go with the metal mine is grey and matchs the grey bed caps.And it stays on all year around hmmmmmmmmmm trying to remember what my stock tail gate looks like.BUT DO YOUR SELF A FAVOR NO MATTER WEATHER ITS PLASTIC OR METAL OR EVEN A NET IT WILL ONLY TAKE ONE TIME FORGETTING TO LOWER YOUR TAIL GATE TO REALIZE THE NEW WORDS YOU JUST USED

and maybe shouldnt of used in front of the wife and kids.have fun take care
