Tailgate Net
I haul a truck camper, so my tailgate is off most of the time. So, I’ve been looking at tailgate nets/mesh. Most of the ones I’m seeing don’t look to impressive. Anybody use them and have suggestions? I’m also looking at the steel/aluminum mesh tailgates as a lighter, easier to install option over the regular tailgate. Input on them would also be appreciated.

I hear ya! I run around without a tailgate most of the time. granted it's a piece of cake to put the tailgate on and take it off. However I start to wonder how many times will the electrical connections will tolerate being taken apart.
A mesh style tailgate would fit the bill for me.
I haul a truck camper on the weekends and use my truck for a daily driver.

I’m an old guy, with a bad back. The built in step makes the tailgate a little heavier than I want to handle regularly. I just don’t want to ding things up. A net would be a lot easier for me. I’d only install the tailgate when I’m sure I’m not hauling the camper for awhile. I worry about the electrical connectors too. The bed camera is already on the fritz.

I’m leaning toward this one. Says it’s made from webbing, and it does look pretty strong. Might be a little long though.
