Building the Dream with Tailgate Gear EU

Building the Dream with Tailgate Gear EU

* Trail Maverick are in no way sponsored by or affiliated with Tailgate Gear EU: I came across them in my journey into overlanding and am looking forward to both purchasing from and sharing them with others along the way!

When selecting companies to work with for overlanding projects and builds, it's key to find like-minded people who are not only passionate about the work they do, but who also have a plethora of knowledge in their craft. It's a big commitment choosing who to place your trust in when beginning an overlanding build of your own-whether it's your first vehicle or one of many-so it's easy to find yourself spending hours finding the best fit, or simply not knowing where to begin. 

After all, it's what will be seeing you through just about every situation the road can throw at you, and there's nothing worse than setting off for a trip unprepared!



Through my hours of researching for this project, I was fortunate enough to find just what I was looking for in Tailgate Gear EU, an Italian-based company who design, manufacture and test their own camping and storage solutions for a vast range of vehicles, from the most popular 4x4s out there, to the less conventional models. Whichever vehicle you're looking to kit out, Tailgate Gear EU has a solution.

It has been a breath of fresh air to find a company who appear to have great integrity and such trust in their designs, and I'm very much looking forward to working with Stefano and the rest of the team with our planned builds.

Now, onto all the key information you're here for!

Overlanding Innovation

Tailgate Gear EU products are designed, manufactured and tested in Friuli, Italy, with a real focus on builds with integrity that vastly improve many facets of camping and overlanding trips. From keeping your gear in check and ensuring your organisation is on point to giving you all the tools you need to build a vehicle you're truly excited about, you only have to view a couple of images on their website to see just how innovative the team are!

Modules available for purchase include full kitchens, fridge units, platforms, cargo shelves, truck bed canopy campers and so much more.

All modules and items in the range are made from high quality materials that will stand the test of time, whatever your travels may throw at them, leaving you with the peace of mind to hit the road whenever and wherever you please. At the end of the day, builds such as these are a worthwhile investment for the peace of mind they bring, improving the overall quality of your adventures knowing that you can cook from the comfort of your own kitchen and keep your electricals powered up for remote work, no matter where you find yourself at the end of each day.

Something for Everyone

Through the hours I spent in research, it was tricky to come across other companies who created units and modules for such a range of vehicles; I found many who would only work on vans or a specific make and model of car, putting quite a few limitations on who they could cater for. That was immediately resolved upon finding Tailgate Gear EU, as they have an excellent selection of pre-designed products for a vast list of vehicles, including (but not limited to):

  • Jeep
  • Ford
  • Dodge
  • INEOS
  • Land Rover
  • Mercedes-Benz
  • Toyota
  • Porsche
  • Suzuki
  • Nissan
  • Volkswagen 
  • Mitsubishi

There's no need to worry if your make and model of vehicle isn't on their list, as you can mix and match modules to suit your space and taste. The overlanding world doesn't always have to be about large, impressive 4x4s, as seen in the boom of car camping over the past few years, and the Tailgate Gear team are on hand to offer advice on a bespoke unit for your vehicle so you don't miss out on any of the action. If you're unsure whether any of their builds will fit into your vehicle, Tailgate Gear have put together a handy and convenient guide especially for you here.

Looking to the Future

I can't thank Stefano and the team at Tailgate Gear EU enough for very kindly allowing me to use their photos to talk about the exciting projects they work on, and how they fit into the future of Trail Maverick (and hopefully many of your futures, too). I greatly look forward to testing out their full Jeep Renegade Overland Kitchen Combo and eventually a similar setup for the Jeep Wrangler, and there is certainly more content to come from us in the foreseeable future!

As always, we hope you have a great week, and be sure to check out Tailgate Gear EU on social media to keep up to date!
