If you've picked up a BYD Shark and you're already planning mods, let’s start with one that actually makes a difference: a proper tub cover. And no, we're not talking about the flimsy roller shutters that jam at the first sign of red dirt. We’re talking about the Utemaster Load-Lid - the only cover tough enough to keep up with how you actually use your ute.

Why the Utemaster Load-Lid Is Built for the BYD Shark

Utemaster Load-Lid for BYD Shark isn’t just a lid, it’s a load platform. The Strong Bones design gives you serious functionality:

400kg static / 200kg dynamic load rating – throw the swags, rooftop tent, or gear up top
Use the lid as extra storage and keep the tub space for valuables
Confidence that it’ll take a beating and keep going

Fully Featured for Real-World Use

Utemaster has packed this thing with features that actually matter:

Integrated load stop to protect your rear glass
26 tie-down points for odd-sized loads
T-track rails on the outer edge for mounting awnings, racks, or other gear
Smart angled lid design = zero wasted tub space

Basically, they’ve thought of everything.

Full Tub Access Without Compromises

The lid swings fully open so you can reach all the way to the front of the tub. No awkward angles, no wasted space. All the structural bracing is inside the lid, not hanging down into your tray.
