You need to step on the tailgate to load stuffs towards the front, right? I've seen items to protect the bed but nothing for the tailgate, suggestion products from any manufactures?

The bed and tailgate both come with protection. Super strong plastic, better than whatever you'd protect them with. When they get too dinged up, buy new ones, easy bolt-in. At least that's my plan...

The most that you will get (unless you have cleats on) from stepping on the tailgate is dirty.

So, why are they ONLY make bed protection?

Seriously? I've never crawled around on my hands and knees in the back of a pickup. We are real truck people, we stand tall and walk like proud humans! Even Neanderthals wouldn't crawl around in a pickup bed!

Yes, but we have to fold/roll and put away to close the tailgate.
Sometimes less is more. Just use the goddamn truck and don't worry about the bed. It will be fine. Yes, really!

After 15 years of hauling stuff around in my F-150, the painted steel bed is dented and scratched to oblivian. And it doesn't matter because it's a truck bed. The Cybertruck bed is 10X more resistant to damage. If the tailgate gets a lot of use, you might even wear some of the paint off years down the road, just hit it with some bed liner paint.
