Rear cargo enclosure + slide-out tailgate solutions?

[dylanrose]

I haven't managed to find much info on this so starting a thread to catalogue my search.

I've got a 2022 Everglades that has the slide-out tailgate (love it) and need a cargo enclosure that will work around it. Most of what i've found mounts to the anchor points in the floor, as does the slide-out tailgate, so I need to find something that can either 'share' these mounting points (i.e. stack them) or doesn't require mounting to the floor (ideal).

What i've found so far:

Manufacturer	Fit w/tailgate?	Price	Style	Mod req'd?
Ford	?	$729	Lift-up	?
RedRock	?	$594	Fixed	?
Broaddict	No	$419	Removable	?
Diabolical	?	$1699	Removable	?
EZ4x4	No	$799	Fold-down	?
Hooke Road	?	$279	Lift-up	?
Tuffy Standard	?	$580	Fixed	?
Tuffy Deluxe	?	$660	Lift-up	?
Mabett	?	N/A	Lift-up	?
Xomzema	?	N/A	Fixed	?

Please share if you've managed to find a working combination or know of secure cargo options I haven't found yet!

Just installed ez4x4, the Eztrunk, and it would not fit with a sliding table due to using stock mounts- with fold-down ability of trunk I don't see how you could mod it for compatibility with sliding drawer. It did work with a cargo line, though will need to cut to access storage. I found this post hunting for whether a tailgate table would work. I bought the Broaddict on Amazon as it looked like it would be close, but it did not fit. The fold down would be cocked up and not lock. Disappointing as the table was best I have seen for price.

Nice, thanks for the info! I actually reached out to EZ4x4 and they said it would fit, but I was very skeptical - especially the 'fold-flat' functionality. Good to confirm And bummer about the Broaddict, I also saw some mixed reviews on the fitment. The Tuffy might have potential. Also just discovered the Mabett, looks promising if they ever restock.

Worth noting that @EZ4x4 released a slide out drawer for their trunk - it doesn't sit at the bottom of the trunk which actually works much better for my anticipated needs, and it still holds 200#. I'm ordering today and will report back once installed.

Weight is critical. Probably like pulling teeth from a hen.

I think we would need to use one that does not have the side walls, however be prepared to modify the back wall.

The Broaddict and the other brand that is the same I feel are the best chance to work with minimal modifications.
I have yet to buy one and try it myself since it’s not been a priority item for me with the hardtop.

The Slipstream only occupies a single bolt on each side, front-most one. It can be modified easily (it is a tab that drops down to catch the bolt). I have one and a slide-out (selling both), had to modify to make them play well together and it was very minor to do.

@EZ4x4 - weight limit for the pull out shelf is 200lb correct? What does it weigh on its own?

The less weight the better as usual.

I did get the ez4x4 slide out and molle fold down hatch table. Both work well, closes without hitting and you can adjust the height of the slide out. I had hoped you could fold down the whole enclosure and then put the slide out on top of it (giving you full height of cargo area). But they didn't have proper holes to make that work. Might could drill/tap it yourself though. Overall happy- haven't loaded heavy but works and slides well.

Good feedback...strange they don't have an almost floor level option.
I ordered the full kit too, just waiting on delivery. Have the OEM box and whole it has been secure, the benefits stop there.

To be clear, the slide out tray does fit on bottom. You just couldn't fold down the enclosure and then have the slide out right on top of it. Since we don't always have top off then that would be a great "daily driver" alternative. AS of now you have to remove the slide out and fold the enclosure down and then the slide out is either tall or unattached.
