Transform your ute into the ultimate mountain bike shuttle vehicle with the Fox Tailgate Cover. Designed specifically for mid-size dual-cab and single-cab ute tailgates, this pad creates a thick, protective barrier between your tailgate paint and your bike frames during rough off-road transport.
Securing your gear is effortless thanks to individual frame webbing straps that keep up to five bikes locked in place without shifting or knocking together. A convenient access flap allows you to operate your tailgate handle and backup camera without needing to remove the cover, making loading and unloading seamless on every lap.
Heavy-Duty Protection: Thick premium padding wrapped in durable tarpaulin guards your ute and bike down tubes against scratches and impact damage.
Secure Bike Retention: Features individual webbing cinch straps to lock down up to five mountain bikes and keep them stationary during transport.
Reversible Access Flap: Cleverly positioned flap ensures complete access to your tailgate handle and rear-view camera while the cover is fully fitted.

Vehicle Fitment: Mid-size trucks/utes (e.g., Ford Ranger, Toyota HiLux, Isuzu D-Max, Mitsubishi Triton)

✅ Shuttle-Loving MTB Riders: Ideal for mountain bikers who regularly transport multiple bikes up rough fire roads and shuttle trails.
✅ Mid-Size Ute Owners: Tailored specifically to fit popular Australian mid-size utes like HiLuxes, Rangers, and Tritons snugly across the tailgate.
✅ Reverse Camera Convenience: Perfect if you rely on your rear camera and tailgate handle daily, as the clever fold-away flap keeps them totally unobstructed.
❌ Full-Size American Truck Owners: If you drive a massive full-size truck like a RAM 1500 or Ford F-150, you will require the Large version for full tailgate coverage.
❌ Long-Distance Highway Travelers: Riders looking for key-locked security on extended trips may prefer a hitch-mounted tray rack over an open-bed tailgate pad.
❌ E-Bike Riders with Ultra-Thick Down Tubes: Bikes with oversized downtubes or unique frame geometries might require wider strap spacing or specialized pads.
Before installing the cover, always wipe down your ute's tailgate to remove grit, dust, and mud. Any dirt trapped between the pad's soft backing and your paint can act like sandpaper when driving on corrugated dirt roads—keeping both surfaces clean ensures your tailgate paint stays immaculate!
