Hey everyone..

I found this site the other day

Welcome to OutBack Utes | 100% Australian Ute Gear Tonneau Accessories

Are any of their truck covers/ute tonneaus
available in the USA? Will their covers work on any USA truck model?

It really depends on who's specs the truck is based on. For a tonneau cover there are three important factors, length, width and taper. Pretty much all trucks anymore have a heavy taper on the beds, some just on the out side but some on the inside of the rails. You can generally fudge this with simple covers like snap ons, but if dimensions are critical, such as a roll up cover, it probably will take more work than it worth.

I didn't look very close, but there are plenty of US made/sold covers that are similar to those.

Take a look at:
Undercover ™ is the new standard in tonneau covers. Our Patented X-effect ™ design and advanced polymers give this tonneau cover unparalleled strength and durability at a fraction of the weight and less cost than fiberglass. (my choice for hard cover)
Extang Inc: Tonneau/Tonno, Extang Pickup Truck Bed Cover, Extang Tonneau/Tonno Covers (my choice for snap down)
Home: Car Accessories and Truck Accessories from Lund International
Roll-Top-Cover, Bedlocker, Jackrabbit Truck Bed Tonneau Covers by Pace-Edwards (my choice for retractable)
RollNLock Retractable Aluminum Tonneau Covers
Truxedo - The New Standard in Tonneau Cover Technology (my choice for roll up)

There are many others out there, but these were always on the top of my head for covers.
