This wiki has been updated 17 times since it was first published in December of 2018. Falling temperatures bring snow and ice, which, in turn, lead to increased chores as you have to clear driveways and paths for safety. Designed for residential or commercial use on a truck or SUV, these tailgate salt spreaders will save you a lot of time and labor when you need to remove precipitation from asphalt or concrete. We chose our selections based on overall build quality and features. When users buy our independently chosen editorial selections, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.

Editor's Notes

December 27, 2018:

While our selections include only two brands of tailgate spreaders, we found that those two cover a range of uses, from light residential to heavy commercial, and offer a range of capacities. Most of our items also include the category's defining features, such as vibrators, augers, and in-cab controllers.
