Fox's Most Adjustable Tailgate Pad - Tonneau Cover Compatible The Fox Mission is the most adjustable and advanced tailgate pad in the Fox lineup, designed to solve the single biggest limitation of standard tailgate pads - incompatibility with tonneau covers. When a standard tailgate pad is fitted, the downtube padding that protects bikes during transport typically prevents a tonneau cover from closing fully, forcing truck owners to choose between bike transport and a closed, lockable truck bed. The Mission eliminates this compromise. The thick downtube padding folds away completely, allowing a tonneau cover to close and lock properly while the pad remains in place - giving truck owners with a covered bed the ability to transport bikes without sacrificing their cover's security and weather protection function. The Mission is available in Full-Size Pickup and Mid-Size Pickup versions, with 6-bike capacity for the full-size and 5-bike capacity for the mid-size - covering the range of truck formats used by cyclists who transport multiple bikes to trailheads, events, and group rides. Versatility even when you’re not transporting bikes. For truck owners with tonneau covers the Mission’s thick downtube padding can fold away to allow the cover to properly close and lock When bombing up rough gravel roads for the next lap forks are held safe and secure. A ridged compression molded foam pad holds the front of your bike upright and firmly in place Two-panel pad design can adapt for any height of tailgate making it our most adjustable tailgate pad to date. Downtube attachment points can move to make sure every one of your bikes has the space it needs including full power e-bikes Two-Panel Adjustable Design and Customisable Downtube Attachment Points The two-panel pad design is the Mission's primary adjustment mechanism. Two separate panels adjust independently to accommodate virtually any tailgate height, covering the full range of tailgate dimensions across different truck makes and models. Standard fixed-dimension tailgate pads fit well on specific vehicles but create coverage gaps on tailgates that fall outside their designed dimensions. The Mission's two-panel system removes this limitation, providing full coverage regardless of the truck's tailgate height. Downtube attachment points are customisable - each attachment point can be repositioned to provide the correct spacing for different bike sizes and frame configurations across a mixed fleet. For riders who transport different bikes on the same pad - road bikes, mountain bikes, and full-power e-MTBs with larger frame tubes - the adjustable attachment points ensure every bike has the space and positioning it needs without interference from adjacent bikes. Ridged Compression Foam Fork Protection and Micro-Brushed Lining A ridged compression moulded foam pad holds the front of each bike upright and firmly in place during transport - the fork protection contact point that keeps bikes secure on rough gravel approach roads, forest tracks, and any terrain where the truck is in motion over uneven surfaces. The ridged design distributes the contact force across the foam rather than concentrating it at a single point, protecting forks from pressure marks and damage during transit. The outer shell is durable PVC tarpaulin for weather and abrasion resistance, and the inner lining uses a micro-brushed material that prevents scratching on the tailgate surface beneath. For truck owners with painted tailgates or bed liners where surface protection matters, the micro-brushed lining eliminates the risk of the pad marking or abrading the tailgate during use.
