A refurbished bowling alley full of trucks, Jeeps, and good people: Tailgate Motor Co.

Our main Fremont store is housed in a refurbished bowling alley, which gives the place a character you won't find in a glass-and-chrome retail box. The bones of the building, the open floor, the energy of the team working on it, it all adds up to a shop that feels alive when you walk in. That's not by accident. We built Tailgate Motor Co. to feel like the kind of place you actually want to spend time, not just sign paperwork and leave.

We're a locally owned dealership with four locations across Fremont and Wahoo: two used-car stores, our accessory and custom-build shop at Tailgate Garage, and our standalone service shop. Our sales team is made up of genuine auto fans who love trucks, Jeeps, diesels, off-road builds, and pretty much anything with character, so when you walk in, you'll get real enthusiasm about pairing you with one of the exceptional vehicles on our lot, not a scripted pitch.

More than a car lot. A community, a crew, and a culture.

What started as a single Fremont lot has grown into a small, tight-knit operation with three rooftops, a custom shop, and a service center, all running on the same idea: treat people like neighbors, get excited about the vehicles, and never push anyone into a decision they're not ready for.

You'll see that show up in small ways. Free Tailgate t-shirts handed out at the door. Husker-themed apparel on the rack come football season. Sponsorships and event hosting around Fremont. Real custom photography on every listing so you can see exactly what you're getting, not stock imagery. None of it's a marketing checklist. It's just the way we already operate, because we're fans of this stuff first and a business second.

If you've shopped at Tailgate before, you know what we mean. If you haven't yet, stop by one of our locations and we'll show you.


Trucks, Jeeps & lifted builds

Our inventory leans heavy into three-quarter ton and one-ton diesels, Jeeps, off-road rigs, and a strong Toyota lineup for the local market. We specialize in lifted trucks, so if a Super Duty or Ram 1500 built to your spec is on your wish list, we've got you covered. From under $15,000 daily drivers to luxury SUVs and vintage finds, every box can get checked here.

Omega Auto Care protection

Eligible vehicles in our inventory come with Omega Auto Care Vehicle Protection, so if peace of mind is on your list, we can walk you through what's covered and what the perks actually mean. Combine that with flexible financing options for every credit situation, and the buying side of things gets way less stressful.

Service & accessories under one roof

Need accessories for your F-150 or custom Silverado? Or repairs from techs who actually understand lifted truck engineering? Tailgate Garage handles the upgrades, and Tailgate Service handles everything from tune-ups to engine overhauls. One block from the main Fremont store.
