I do not write reviews lightly, especially long ones, but the Broaddict TrailDeck Slide Out Tailgate Drawer deserves a real, honest breakdown from someone who actually uses their gear, not just installs it for photos. First and foremost, I ordered mine back when this product was still on preorder. That alone can feel like a gamble sometimes, but right from the beginning, the experience was solid. They gave me a clear estimated ship date, no vague promises, no runaround. When that date came, I immediately received a shipping notification right on time. That already set the tone for how the rest of the experience would go. Delivery was fast, the packaging was clean, secure, and everything arrived in perfect condition. No bent metal, no missing hardware, no drama.
Installation was honestly one of the easiest installs I have done on my Bronco. It is just eight bolts. That is it. No cutting, no drilling, no weird modifications. Everything lined up perfectly with my Bronco cargo area, which I really appreciated because nothing kills excitement faster than fighting parts that do not want to fit. The install was straightforward and intuitive, even if you are not someone who wrenches all the time. Once installed, it felt immediately solid, not flimsy, not questionable, just sturdy and well thought out.
Now let us talk about real world use, because that is where this thing shines. I have owned this slide out table for just under a year now, and it has been used a lot. This is not a garage queen accessory. It has seen sand, dirt, spilled coffee, heavy loads, cold nights sitting on the tailgate, long days at events, grocery runs, and random everyday life stuff. The drawer slides are still incredibly smooth, even after all that. No sticking, no grinding, no feeling like it is wearing out. It still slides out effortlessly, even when loaded.
The table itself is solid. And I mean solid. It does not flex in a way that makes you nervous. I have leaned on it, loaded it, set gear on it, used it as a work surface, and it has never once made me question its strength. One of my favorite parts is how practical it is for everyday use, not just camping or off roading. Sliding it out when I have groceries or heavier items is such a game changer. Not having to lean halfway into the trunk or awkwardly reach deep inside makes a huge difference, especially when you are tired or in a hurry.
One of the main reasons I originally wanted this slide out table, and something I almost forgot to mention, is how it completely levels out the back when the seats are folded down. That alone was a huge selling point for me. With the table installed, the entire back becomes one flat, usable surface, which creates a massive amount of space for hauling large items. No awkward drop offs, no weird angles, just a clean, level cargo area. My original plan was to use this setup for camping and be able to lay a mattress straight across the back for sleeping, which I still fully plan on doing. I just have not had the chance to yet. Even without having camped with it so far, knowing that option is there is a huge plus and adds so much versatility to the Bronco. It turns the cargo area into something far more functional than stock, and that alone makes this table worth it for anyone who camps, travels, or just needs serious space.
The storage compartment that pulls out in addition to the table is honestly the cherry on top. Yes, it is a shallow drawer, but do not underestimate it. It holds way more than you think if you organize it well. I keep my tool kit in there, a small first aid kit, and for a while I also had a recovery tow rope and ratchet stored inside before I took those out for another setup. I also store my flag pole, flags, zip ties, bungee cords, and other random essentials that I always want with me but do not want rolling around loose in the cargo area. Having everything tucked away, accessible, and not rattling around is such a win.
This slide out tailgate drawer is truly one of my favorite purchases for my Bronco. I am not exaggerating when I say I show it off at every Bronco event I attend. People always ask about it, how it works, how sturdy it is, and whether it is worth it. I always let them slide it out, feel it, and see it for themselves because it really sells itself once you interact with it.
Now, in the interest of being fully honest, there is one downside, and it is not even really a flaw, more of a compatibility thing. The center handle fits right up tight to the rear door, which does not allow for your typical tailgate table to be used at the same time. I had to remove my tailgate table because of this. At first, that was a little disappointing, but honestly, the TrailDeck quickly made up for it in overall usability.
And then Broaddict did something that genuinely made me excited. They released a tailgate table designed to work in conjunction with the TrailDeck slide out drawer. When I saw that, it felt like a dream come true. That is exactly the kind of thing that shows a company is listening and thinking about how people actually use their products. I cannot wait to receive mine, install it, and start using both together. I fully plan to follow up with another review once that setup is in place and gets some real use.
I will also say this, I am not one to gatekeep products. If I find something I truly love and believe in, I share it. Not because I have to, but because I want others to enjoy the same quality and functionality. This is one of those products. I genuinely wish much success to Broaddict, and I hope they continue bringing us well designed, high quality gear that actually improves how we use our vehicles. This TrailDeck Slide Out Tailgate Drawer has earned its place in my Bronco, and I do not see that changing anytime soon.
If you are on the fence, wondering if it is worth it, from someone who has lived with it, used it hard, and relied on it regularly, the answer is yes. It has become one of those things I do not think about anymore because it just works, and that is honestly the best compliment I can give any product.
