What Tailgate Table do you run?

T43 · Jan 24, 2020

Finally had a chance to put mine on. As expected I used 2 washers to space out the bottom left and as expected it rubbed on the top right when stowed. I was able to loosen all the mounting bolts, push the top of the frame as far right as possible, tightened the top two bolts, pushed the bottom of the frame as far left as possible and tightened the bolts. It ligns up perfectly now. I grabbed a pair of water pump pliers and smashed the cable crimps and they are tight now. It doesn't rattle it is pretty sturdy and the install took under an hour including the tweaks, taking pics and drinking a beer. If you're not worried about it not saying mopar and doing a little extra on the install I would definitely recommend buying one of these and putting the money saved somewhere else.

Anyone install the one by Rockslide Engineering?

Looks nice, but with all that hinged metal I'd be overly concerned about noise/rattles.
I've used the Google machine to search the interwebs, but can't find much info about anyone's actual use.

Does anyone with one of these tables also have a cargo mat with a high lip? I have the quadratec cargo mat, and it appears if I install one of these tailgate tables, there will be some interference between table and mat.

Did you get the RSE Table? I ran into the same issue of no reviews and curious if you got it and how you like it

No, I haven't decided what to do yet. A tailgate table is more a want vs a need for me, but I am definitely curious about the RSE.

I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the RSE table. Seems like the best all-around option out there. I've been researching the shit out of them and for the balance of function v price, I think it wins. I was leaning towards the Front Runner but Amazon reviews note that the installation is a pain in the ass and doesn't yield the best results

Yeah, the more I see that table the more I like it. Be sure to let us know how the install goes and, most importantly, if it RATTLES. Thanks for being the guinea pig. :like:

FWIW I did find someone install video and there was a comment there is rubber between metal contact points

Well, here it is! 15 minute install. 20 if you're a dumbass like me and put the o-ring on before putting the screws in the table. Once I sorted that out, it was super simple. I think it is an awesome table. Way bigger than you'd expect. I have a 17" Blackstone grill coming on Friday. Can't wait!
