Aside from better fuel economy, we just love the way a lifted Ford F100 truck looks with a tailgate net. It just looks so utilitarian and aggressive, while still giving us the means to load stuff into the bed on occasion without having to worry about anything falling out. Well, within reason, of course. You can't just load up a bed full of marbles and not expect them to roll out - you just can't. Some Ford F100 tailgate nets will require the drilling of some small holes right between your taillights, but there are usually already some holes there anyway, so it won't look out of place should you ever need to remove your tailgate net.

Tailgate nets are a traditional way to shed some weight off of your off-road truck, while still looking cool and maintaining some usability. Recent tests on a certain myth busting TV show have show that a Ford F100 tailgate net will actually increase your fuel mileage compared to an opened tailgate and even a completely removed tailgate, and we tend to trust anything that bald guy says, especially when it's about Ford F100 tailgate nets.

Q: What is a tailgate net? Why buy one?
A: Tailgate nets mount in place of your factory original tailgate and provide a lightweight flexible barrier to keep loads secure in the back of your truck. If you have damaged your tailgate and had to remove it, a tailgate net is a great and inexpensive way to maintain the functionality of your truck without shelling out big bucks for an expensive new tailgate unit. Tailgate nets also provide some weight savings which can help with fuel mileage, and they are somewhat flexible to accommodate loads that would not normally fit behind the standard tailgate. In addition tailgate nets are available with custom designs to give your rig a great custom look while still maintaining full functionality.
