TV-toting “Ultimate Tailgate” Ford F-350 dually can take Thanksgiving (and the football games) outside | Dump Truck Company

Who needs a table when you’ve got a tailgate?

That’s the idea behind this custom 2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty, built by Extang Truck Bed Covers with the help of students at Washtenaw Community College’s Custom Cars and Concepts program.

Dubbed the “Ultimate Tailgate Truck,” and unveiled at the SEMA 2018 show in Las Vegas, this 2019 F-350 Lariat dually is equipped with everything you need to eat good food and watch a good game in the great outdoors.

What makes this custom creation special is its rear end, which is fitting for a truck named for “tailgating.” The Washtenaw students and Extang installed a custom-fabricated, low-profile cargo slide, allowing you to pull whatever’s in the bed closer to the tailgate for easy access. That cargo slide also has an integrated expanding “game table” for all those games that involve Dixie cups and ping pong balls.

Flanking the game table to the left is a swing-out cooler. To the right is a grill that has been integrated into the tailgate.

Finishing the tailgating experience off is an ingenious use of a bed cover: when you fold it up, you’ll find a 65-inch 4K TV mounted to the other side.
