This is where it all starts. From here we mount any module designed for your vehicle.
The platform system is made of Scandinavian birch finished in Raptor paint to max durability and toughness.
The pre-drilled holes can accomodate our modules side by side and provide an easy and secure anchor for them even on rough terrains.
The platform is bolted into the vehicle and meant to be your new trunk bed but you can easily remove it if you need to.
Nuts and bolts are provided with the package.
Production time is between 28 and 35 days.
This one and all our modules are designed and made in ITALY.

Notes
Note for Jeep Wrangler owners: JKU and JLU systems have different sizes and layouts. The 4XE platform is slightly different from the JLU system. The 2007-2011 JKU models will require drilling and installation of rivnuts to create the necessary 4 points to secure the platform. In the 2011-2015 JKU models, the sub-woofer on the right side needs to be removed to install the platform.
Note for Jimny owners: the system includes also x5 L-shaped brackets to hold down the platform. No drilling. Works with both 4 and 2 seaters. The tool box in the back can be accessed. Additional caster feet are included for the 2 seat Jimny.
Note for New Defender owner: the system includes a raised platform with hatches and allows for the side by side configuration. This platform is not compatible with the Hybrid version.
Note for New Defender PHEV owner: the system includes a raised platform without hatches and allows for the side by side configuration with some limitations due to the charging pack on the left hand side of the trunk. This platform is not compatible with the regular version.
Note for Grenadier owners: the system bolts directly into the existing airline track holes. No drilling. Platform comes with extra threaded holes to install hooks and straps.
Note for pickup owners: drilling is required to secure the platforms to the load bed. Platform comes with threaded holes to install all our modules plus hooks and straps.
FAQ
Q: Do I need to drill into the vehicle?
A: If you have purchased one of the vehicle based platform and install it in the right model/year, no drilling will be necessary. Some models will require drilling. See notes above.
Q: Do I need a platform to be able to install other Tailgate Gear modules?
A: You need the platform system to be able to utilize modules on either side by themselves or with a module on one side and fridge slide on the other. Without the platform, you need to secure the modules with straps and anchors.
Q: I do not see my vehicle in the list, can I still order a platform?
A: Read our guide here to check if you want to install modules without platforms or to suggest a model. You can then get in touch to find out if we are developing that platform model or if we can do it for you.
