Frequently asked questions
Hard lid availability depends on the specific model and tray design. As hybrid and plug-in hybrid utes become more common in Australia, vehicle-specific options are being developed to suit popular models such as BYD, Ranger, and Hilux variants where applicable.
A properly designed hard lid should not interfere with normal charging access or the operation of hybrid components. The lid is fitted to the tray area, so the key factor is choosing a model-specific setup that works with the vehicle’s design and factory layout.
Yes, many hard lids can be removed and refitted when required, depending on the mounting system used. This is useful for owners who occasionally need full tray access for larger loads or changing work requirements.
