Take your shuttle setup to the next level with the Fox Premium Tailgate Cover Small. Specifically designed for mid-size Australian utes, this upgraded pad pairs heavy-duty weather protection with premium storage features to make transport safer, easier, and more organized.
Unlike standard tailgate covers, the Premium model includes molded bike anchors and padded fork separators that lock up to five bikes into place, preventing frame contact even on corrugated trails. Metal grommets integrated into all four corners allow you to cable lock the pad to your truck bed and bikes for total security when stepping away from your vehicle.
Loaded with rider-focused details, this cover features outer mesh storage pockets for wet gear alongside an insulated pocket to keep post-ride drinks cold or spare outerwear dry. Complete with a large folding flap for full rear camera and tailgate handle access, it is the ultimate upgrade for serious shuttle days.
Molded Bike Anchors & Fork Protection: Built-in padded dividers and strap anchors secure up to five mountain bikes tightly, stopping frame-on-frame collision.
Integrated Storage & Insulated Cooler Pocket: Outer mesh gear pockets plus a dedicated insulated cooler compartment keep post-ride drinks cold and muddy kit separated.
Security Grommets: Metal corner grommets enable you to run a cable lock through the pad, securing both your bikes and the cover directly to your ute bed.

✅ Serious Shuttle Riders: Ideal for riders hauling high-end bikes who want maximum padding, fork separators, and molded anchors to avoid frame scratches.
✅ Post-Ride Chillers: Perfect if you value built-in storage and an insulated cooler pocket to keep drinks cold right after hot, dusty laps.
✅ Security-Minded Ute Owners: Metal corner grommets make it simple to lock your bikes and cover to your ute bed when parked at the trailhead or café.
❌ Full-Size American Truck Drivers: Owners of large American pick-ups like the RAM 1500 or Chevrolet Silverado will require the Large version for complete coverage.
❌ Budget-Conscious Transport: If you only need simple padding without extra storage pockets or molded anchors, the standard Fox Tailgate Cover offers a lower-cost option.
❌ Minimalist Riders: Those looking for an ultra-light, basic pad without extra pockets or internal padding structure may find this model too bulky.
Take advantage of the built-in corner grommets by pairing this cover with a long, heavy-duty braided cable lock. Loop the cable through the grommets, your ute's bed tie-downs, and all bike frames to ensure your entire shuttle setup stays secure while grabbing a post-ride coffee!
