PRECISION FIT

Vehicle-Specific Fit for Your Tailgate

Universal tailgate pads often miss the real shape of a F-250/F-350/F450 tailgate. This Michelin protector is mapped to the 2017–2022 Ford F-250/F-350/F450 tailgate using Blue-Laser Scanning for a closer everyday fit.

  • Blue-Laser Tailgate Mapping

    Blue-Laser Scanning captures the F-250/F-350/F450 tailgate contours so the protector can follow the real working surface on a F-250/F-350/F450. That supports vehicle-specific molding for everyday loading.

  • Working Surface Coverage

    Vehicle-specific contours help cover the designed F-250/F-350/F450 tailgate working surface, reducing how often cargo scrapes the original finish during everyday loading.

  • Tailgate-Specific Contours

    The scanned shape becomes molded contours around the F-250/F-350/F450 tailgate surface and edges—so coverage follows where loads actually contact the gate.

Built to work

Ready for Everyday Loading

    Loading & Unloading

    Boxes, tools, and weekend gear often slide across a F-250/F-350/F450 tailgate. A fitted protector adds a practical work surface for those everyday loading moves.

  • PREMIUM QUALITY

    Work & DIY Use

    Toolboxes, home-project materials, and work gear often cross a F-250/F-350/F450 tailgate. The protector adds a sacrificial layer for those common loading jobs.

  • DURABLE BUILD

    Officially Authorized by Michelin

    This TreadAuto tailgate protector is part of the Michelin-authorized lineup, pairing trusted brand standards with vehicle-specific molding.

  • EVERYDAY READY

    Textured / Non-Slip Surface

    A textured surface helps increase friction between cargo and the mat during short moves. Still secure tall loads the way you normally would.

How does this protector help when loading a F-250/F-350/F450? +

How is a vehicle-specific protector different from a universal pad? +
