LETS GET PERSONAL
My name is Dwayne Smith, a passionate craftsman and owner of Superior Tailgates.
OUR JOURNEY
History
Superior Tailgates was born out of a passion for craftsmanship and a desire to carry on a legacy. Inspired by my dad, who taught me the art of powder coating, I learned the value of hard work, precision, and the satisfaction of creating something that lasts. When my dad passed, I took over the small powder coating business including it with my machining business, CDS Machine & Powder Coating LLC, a step that led me on a new journey.


Vision
My introduction to the 5th wheel tailgate industry began when I started powder coating tailgates for Husky Liners. When the company decided to discontinue the 5th wheel tailgate line, as a 5th wheel owner myself, I saw an opportunity and a need in the market. After completing extensive research and development, I launched Superior Tailgates to fill that gap and offer a premium product for truck owners who value durability and quality.

MADE IN THE HEARTLAND OF AMERICA
WHY US?
As a machinist by trade, I take pride in building each tailgate one at a time with meticulous attention to detail. My goal is to create custom solutions for people who want more than just a standard product. Every tailgate is crafted with the dedication and expertise passed down to me, and I’m excited to share that with you.
