2021-2026 Ford Bronco & Bronco Raptor Tailgate Molle Panel | Addictive Desert Designs

Fitment

This tailgate molle panel is built by Addictive Desert Designs for the 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 Ford Bronco, and for the 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 Ford Bronco Raptor. It mounts flush against the tailgate and is designed to work with the factory tailgate rather than requiring a replacement or aftermarket tailgate to install, so it's usable on either the standard Bronco or the Raptor without a different version needed for each.

Design

The panel is CNC cut from 1/8-inch steel and finished in a hammer black powder coat. Wide mounting points keep the panel flush with the shape of the tailgate, and a horizontal offset holds it away from direct contact with the paint underneath, so the panel doesn't rub or scratch the tailgate finish over time as the truck flexes on rough roads. Cutouts in the panel accommodate the third brake light wiring, so nothing needs to be rerouted or extended to fit the panel around it, and the brake light itself stays fully visible and functional once the panel is on.

Storage

The molle pattern across the panel is compatible with straps, bolts, quick-fists, or zip ties, covering most of the common ways gear gets mounted to a molle surface, so an owner isn't locked into one specific brand of mounting hardware to use the space. That makes it a practical spot for recovery gear, a fire extinguisher, tool pouches, or other equipment that's useful to have close at hand but doesn't need to ride inside the cargo area taking up space that would otherwise go to camping gear, coolers, or whatever else a trip calls for. Because the panel sits on the outside of the tailgate, gear mounted here stays out of the way of whatever's loaded inside the Bronco, and it's visible and reachable without opening the tailgate first.

Made in America

The panel is manufactured in the United States, the same as the rest of the Addictive Desert Designs Bronco lineup, from the front bumpers down to the smaller accessory pieces like this one. That keeps the fit and finish consistent with the bumpers, skid plates, and other molle panels in the catalog rather than sourcing a tailgate accessory from a different manufacturer with a different powder coat color, panel thickness, or mounting hardware standard, which matters for anyone trying to keep a matched look across the whole truck.

Installation

Installation is fully bolt-on, using mounting points built into the tailgate panel itself, with no cutting or welding required, and it can typically be done in about an hour using nothing more than basic hand tools already sitting in most home garages. Bronco Forge stocks this Addictive Desert Designs molle panel for Bronco and Bronco Raptor owners who want to add gear-mounting capacity to the tailgate without giving up cargo space inside the truck or interfering with the factory brake light, and who'd rather have recovery gear and tools mounted where they can be reached quickly than buried under everything else packed in the back.
