The Basecamp System

When looking for the right tailgate pad for mountain biking nothing I found was as well thought out as the Basecamp pad. We load 4 bikes on it without any issue. The materials used are top notch, provide superior protection, and feel great to the touch. I like leaving mine on the truck most of the time but when I need to take it off it’s a very simple process. The lock gives some peace of mind when out on the trail too. If you’re looking for the right pad for loading bikes this is perfect, but it’s also so much more. We use it for a paddle board and even building materials. The cooler and chair accessories make the best tailgate pad I have found even better. Get this pad!

Best product on the market.

Got mine within about 6 days of ordering including the weekend. Installed it this weekend for a quick tryout and it was great! Good support and comfort, and I’m a 270 lb man! Easy to install and made our “after hike beers” in the Texas hill country a lot more comfortable! Next stop, Montana!

Was glad to finally commit to purchasing a tail gate pad, and couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Stoked to use it every time now for bike transport. Quick and easy installation and removal (for when your beat from riding all day.) The cooler and chairs are a great break and recovery hub for rides and having the cooler and chairs hooked onto the pad makes for less to load up and haul out to the trails for each ride. They’ve thought of everything with this, and with the molle webbing the future possibilities are endless. Love how the coolers top pouches turn into cup holders. Can’t wait to see what else Cache comes up with.

Talk about practicality to comfort in seconds. Load the bike then load up to take in the views! Keeping after ride drinks cold, all around killer! Tailgate pads have been needing a leader in the outdoor industry and Cache is on the way to take the throne. Go and get yourself one!

I’ve been using the system for social distancing tailgating around my neighborhood and it’s been amazing.

I have an old 1987 Chevy Scottsdale that has become my toy hauler. Its not much, but wanted to put SOMETHING on my tailgate, if nothing else but to look cool.

Well, some time ago, I came across Cache and their products on a crowd funding site and immediately opted in. I followed closely for months, waiting for those three boxes to show up at my door.

After a small delay, the day finally came. I have had tailgate pads from other companies, but this one was different. While other pads had awkward plastic buckles and flimsy straps, Cache’s pad says quality straight out of the box. Nice, durable straps with metal hardware (in the right places to prevent scratching) has kept my pad, seats, and cooler in place since the day I unpacked it (about 8 months ago, maybe?)

I have and will continue to recommend this product to anyone who has a truck and likes to sit. The seats are easy to take off and put back on and the cooler is my “go-to” for cold snacks.

The customer service is top notch as well. When a buckle eventually succumbed to the stress of my life, I sent a quick email to them and explained what happened. Dillon (one of the co-founders, no less) emailed me back faster than the bank after I miss my credit card payment, to say a new buckle was in the mail (with a tip on how to not break them. Thanks, Dillon).

I just wish I could buy another truck to put another one on.

I ordered this tailgate pad for my husband after hearing him mention it a few times. After ordering, I received an email that said it would be 1-2 weeks for delivery. Three or four days later we hear a knock at the door. It was Tyler and he hand-delivered our tailgate pad. Customer service was amazing. My husband opened the package and the product is so well made. We are super impressed. Also read on their website that 15% of all proceeds will go to the food bank! Amazing!

The Cache system is awesome for many reason. I own a F150 XLT and it fits like a premium suede glove. Install was super easy and quick. I leave it on most of the time, but if i need to remove it, it takes 2 minutes. The Basecamp pad fits really well over the tailgate, even if I have a wide gate with camera and handle.

Last weekend, I put 6 bikes over the pad and secured them with the included strap/hooks. This is a really nice feature included with the pad. No need to store an extra strap or bungee cords. I would add a latch buckle to it to make it 120% perfect. The pad is also super durable – I’ve used it many times with lumber and it does not scratch at all.

I also love the Jeffrey cooler – it’s my new favourite carry-on. I take it everywhere with me. And the Lounger chairs are making many people jealous! Much more comfortable than a cold and wet metal tailgate!

This product is awesome for camping and hunting! Even the kids love it!

Finally a functioning all purpose tailgate cover. Just put it on my badass truck and it’s totally worthy! Construction is seconded to none. This is a well thought out solution. Well done Cache!!

This is my favorite purchase of summer. 100%! Love MTB’ing with it – can fit 5 bikes. Hold all of the drinks for the friends and provide a chill spot after the rides. Also, nice to pop off the seats and cooler when we’re heading to any type of concert or event.

My wife bought me this for riding bikes with my buddies on the weekend. I actually use it for construction as much if not more. The strap for securing bikes works great for securing lumber – fence posts – PVC you name it. I was taking the chairs off but ended up leaving them on for hurry up and wait jobs killing time. The cooler is out of the way and easy for post work beers or kids gatorades on Saturday soccer games.

I received the Basecamp System as a gift from my girlfriend. I love it. After a slight delay, when my girlfriend’s cat decided that the box looked like a good place to rest. The installation was super easy, and the tutorial video answered any questions I had. The loungers are sturdy enough to hold my entire weight when I lean back and comfortable, even for bigger guys and gals.
The molly system holds everything secure even at highway speeds; actually even at well above highway speeds. While the Jeffrey Cooler holds a ton of stuff and is easy to access from the Lounger Chairs.

The only downside is that the chairs are black, so they will get hot in direct sunlight, but if you remember to keep them closed when you aren’t sitting on them, they should stay cooler. I’m also thinking about getting a pop up tent to cover the bed when I’m tailgating. The cargo strap works well and it sits in just the right place on my 2012 F-150. There will be some slack on the straps that hold the Base Pad on, but you can easily tie them up or tuck them away.

Now since I got this as a gift, I’ll have to take my girlfriend’s word of it, but according to her, whenever she had a question about the system the response from the company was superb.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who tailgates or who would like to have the extra tie down points.

When I first saw this concept I knew I needed it for tailgating and camping, but have used it constantly. It’s a quick tie-down option for the bikes. It’s great protection and another anchor point for hauling lumber.

The level of customer service this company exhibits is unprecedented. I have yet to experience this level of service from other businesses. Products are well made and thoughtfully engineered and the customer service makes you feel like a member of a community instead of just another sale. They did right by me and I’ll continue to support them as they release new products in the future.

I was super excited to receive this package. Once it actually came and I was able to use it I was more than impressed. The lock is durable and sturdy for one. Also, the material seems durable and doesn’t look cheap. I took my truck out on a drive around Mammoth last weekend and some lunch break dirt-roads and have found good reason to stop and take in the sunshine on my tailgate. There are plenty of straps and room for an additional chair if purchased. The cooler stayed cold for at least 6 hrs in the sun. I recommend buying this system if you like being outdoors and enjoying nature.

Over the past three years I have gone through two of the traditional bike pads that no matter what the brand, it appears that they are all made the same. After catching word of Cache and their modular system – I made the switch and never looking back! Love the chairs, cooler, and the lock is genius! Big fan of the opening and how my bike doesn’t hit my truck all while keeping my backup camera clear as well.
