TrailDeck Slide-Out Tailgate Drawer: 10 Must-Ask Questions for New Bronco Owners

Assuming you are an owner of a 2021-2025 4-door Ford Bronco and you love overlanding, camping or simply smarter cargo storage, then you are likely looking for the best 2025 ford bronco accessories to optimize your rig. The Broaddict TrailDeck is engineered to solve the Bronco’s notorious storage headaches by acting as a premium bronco cargo slide that fits your 4-door’s cargo area with precision. However, as a first-time buyer, you likely have questions before making the leap. We’ve broken down the top 10 most frequently asked questions to help you decide if this heavy-duty drawer is the ultimate missing piece for your adventure setup.

1. Will it fit my Bronco? (And what about 2-door models?)

We may begin with the fundamentals: compatibility. The Broaddict TrailDeck will fit 2021-2025+ Ford Bronco 4-door models only- it is designed to fit the exact size of the cargo area of the 4-door, which makes the installation process smooth and the fit accurate. Regrettably, it does not support 2-door Broncos at the moment. But that is not bad news: Broaddict is already working on a 2-door variant, so watch out news in case you have the shorter wheelbase. 

2. What are its precise dimensions? Inside and out?

The size is crucial in knowing how much should be carried in terms of storage be it carrying coolers, tools, or camping equipment. The TrailDeck measures 41.48 inch (length) x 29.1 inch (width) x 4.5 inch (height) enough to fit in the tailgate of the Bronco perfectly without protruding. It has a clever dual-layer interior, with the upper level being a flat top, and the lower compartment being divided into three customizable parts. All internal compartments are 2.2 inch tall which provides you with ample room to keep small necessities such as first-aid kits, tool sets, or cooking equipment without making them messy or lose their places.

3. What is the weight that it can bear? Is it sturdy enough?

Real-world strength is one of the largest issues of the Bronco accessories - and the TrailDeck provides. Having the maximum weight of 400 lbs, this drawer is not limited to light gears. It is also high enough to hold big coolers, heavy luggage or two adults sitting on it. It is made of aluminum deck, thus is light, yet, it can withstand the abuse of off-roading and family trips. None of that holiday flim-flam plastic this is a serious upgrade that will not split or hang when it is pressed down.

4. Is it necessary to install it, can it be done without drilling or professional skills? Any video guide?

Even when you are not the tool-lover, it does not matter. Installation is a snap. The TrailDeck does not need to be drilled at all, it attaches to the eight factory bolts already in the cargo area of your Bronco. All you need to do is follow the instructions that are included and you can install it within 10 minutes total including unpacking the box and screwing the last bolt. Visual learners, Broaddict has you! An official guide on how to install it is over there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EvjWInhYDI. There is no necessity to hire a mechanic since this is a do it yourself project.

5. Will it be compatible with folded rear seats to form a flat sleeping surface?

A game-changer to campers: yes! The TrailDeck will fit the rear seat of your Bronco to be built in the folded position to form a smooth, flat place across the entire cargo area. A sleeping pad or small mattress will make it an instant camping bed with no spaces or uneven surfaces, just a place to sleep under the stars. It suits well on overlanding journeys when you are willing to have a lot of space but not to lose on comfort. Besides, the anti-slip rubber pads at the top level ensure that your mattress does not move around when you are on the move.

6. Will it be able to use the tailgate normally after being installed?

Nay--good-by by on your Bronco and its original functionality. The size of the TrailDeck is customized to fit the factory tailgate design and thus closing the tailgate is as easy as ever. The sole exception: provided you already have a tailgate table or any other tailgate-mounted accessory, make sure there is 4.5" of clearance at the bottom of the tailgate. This makes the drawer not to interfere with closing.

7. Does it fit with the Broaddict Tailgate Table?

The compatibility information is this: the existing Broaddict Tailgate Table (SKU: C1002V03) is incompatible with the TrailDeck when the drawer is completely closed there is a little interference. But don't let that stop you! Broaddict will roll out a better Tailgate Table (SKU: C2259) this March. This update is designed to be compatible with the TrailDeck such that you can have both the slide-out drawer and the tailgate table with no problems. It is the final camping and tailgating combination- pre-orders will be available.

8. Driving: A yes/No question.

There is nothing worse than a road trip than tedious rattles of the cargo accessories and the TrailDeck will get rid of it. Broaddict also uses rubber stoppers in the package; all one needs to do is fit the stoppers as instructed in the manual, and they will absorb any vibration between the drawer and the frame of your Bronco. The slide rails are smooth and strong and therefore, the drawer remains intact even when you are on the road- no clanking, no sliding, no noise. This accessory remains silent and safe on the highway or when bouncing over a road of dirt.

9. What is the warranty, and is it possible to have an extension?

Broaddict is behind their workmanship with a 1-year traildeck warranty. This is in defects of materials, workmanship and dysfunction in normal usage. Want extra peace of mind? The warranty is extendable with purchasing an extended warranty card or engaging in activities of the customer group of Broaddict. It is an excellent investment insurance against years of adventures.

10. How do I clean and maintain it?

The TrailDeck is constructed to be easy to care of due to the busy owners. The primary component is aluminum, and consequently, it does not rust, and can withstand the outdoor environment. The rubber mats at the top of the top are done with TPE which is tough and can be easily wiped with a damp cloth. This drawer needs little maintenance, so it will remain in good condition over the years, even after dirty camping and snowy winter.
