Transform your ute into the ultimate mountain bike shuttle vehicle with the Fox Tailgate Cover Small in stealthy Black Camo. Engineered specifically for mid-size dual-cab and single-cab ute tailgates, this cover creates a thick, protective layer between your vehicle’s paintwork and your bike frames during rough off-road transport.
Loading and securing your gear is effortless thanks to individual webbing cinch straps that keep up to five bikes locked in place without shifting or knocking together on bumpy fire roads. The heavy-duty tarpaulin exterior resists weather and abrasion, while a soft fleece lining ensures your tailgate stays free of scratches and dings.
For maximum everyday convenience, a cleverly positioned folding flap allows unhindered access to your tailgate handle and rear-view camera while the cover is fully fitted. Finished in Fox's eye-catching Black Camo aesthetic, it delivers rugged utility with a clean, low-profile style.

✅ Shuttle-Loving MTB Riders: Ideal for mountain bikers who regularly haul 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 accessible.
❌ Full-Size American Truck Owners: Drivers with full-size trucks like a RAM 1500 or Ford F-150 will require the Large version for full tailgate coverage.
❌ Long-Distance Highway Travelers: Riders looking for key-locked security on extended interstate 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 down tubes or unusual frame shapes 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 fleece backing and your paint can act like sandpaper when driving on corrugated dirt roads—keeping both surfaces clean ensures your tailgate paint stays pristine!
