etrailer has been great in the past and I will order from them again. This experience was mediocre because they advertised free 3 day shipping through a google search for this product. After paying I was notified that it would take longer. I needed the gate mate for a weekend trip and could have gotten it through [online vendor] for the same price, quicker. Not a big deal, just be aware.

Always impressed with etrailer. They have an abundance of knowledge and are extremely responsive. Highly recommend!

Great bike rack! We haul 4 bikes with it and it still leaves plenty of room in the bed of the truck for camp gear

@Brian Awesome, we're so glad you like the # TH824PRO Thule GateMate Pro! What kind of adventures do you use it for?


by:

Great material, inside smooth will not scratch the tailgate. Easy install. I ordered for full size, truck however if I had to do it again I would choose smaller width. I have rails mounted to the inside of bed for a bed cover. The gate mate really fits snug, having to slam the gate to lock. Depending style of bike the down tube may not snug tight. Yes I would buy again. Good price.

2016 Toyota Tundra

Totally impressed. This thing not only protects my bike but also my truck. Set up was easy, the padding is plentiful, the mesh storage pockets are a huge plus. Really impressed with the quality. Even was able to work around my roll up Lund tonneau with no mods needed.



by:

Solved our problem of how to bring our 6 bikes along with us on long trips. Super easy to load and unload. Very happy with this purchase.

Still using and working great. My only issue is installation is a bit tricky, which does sometimes mean I dont bother to use if were not certain to need the bikes. Ultimately though its worth the effort and solved our problem.



by:

Arrived quicker than expected and with good
updates.
Packaging was excellent. Fitted
in 5 minutes, loaded the bikes
on back of truck and hit the road… very pleased.



by:

This tailgate mat works great, i have no issue with bikes moving while driving. I use it for several different frame sizes from med frame road bikes to large frame fat tires and an XL 29er. It holds them all without a problem. The soft material has caused no scratching to my tailgate and those who say it will dont wash their truck. Service and delivery from etrailer was quick and competitively priced as usual. I have recommended and would buy again.



by:
2016 Ford F-150

Overall this is a great option for a quickly installed and secure way to haul bicycles in a pick-up truck. One thing I did not consider was the fact I had a tonneau cover on my 2016 Ford F-150 from Gator. The rails for the cover overlap into the bed of the truck an inch and a half, but the Thule tailgate pad is flexible enough to work under the rails to get the tailgate closed. Installation takes 10 minutes alone and 5 with help. Great product and great support from eTrailer.com!



by:
2016 Chevrolet Silverado 3500

Excellent experience and fast shipping. Great quality product. Very pleased



by:

Bit of a pain to lift bikes onto the tailgate but for someone who regularly transports 4-6 bikes from hone to the campsite, this thing is perfect. It claims you can do 8 bikes but it would be very difficult to get bike 7 and 8 into the truck.

If you need to live 6 bikes about this is the best solution I have found.



by:
2019 Pontiac Trans Sport Van

Awesome bike transport. I did not want a truck hitch type so this was a great easy option. Took less than 5 minutes to install and the bikes were certainly secure during transport.



by:

The package was delivered on time and fit my Ram 3500 perfectly. The team at etrailer kept you informed every step of the process from order confirmation to shipping confirmation and delivery confirmation. You can't ask for better communication than that.



by:

As always, EXCELLENT FAST shipping from etrailer. put this on 2011 silverado, for an aventon ebike and a regular bike, works great, no issues.



by:

Love it, bikes aren't in a pile in the back of the truck.



by:

My husband was looking for something easier to haul the bikes around. Much easier to put on and off to take the truck thru the car wash. This way the truck is protected from getting scratched by the bikes. Thanks

Great customer service!

  • Carrying Heavy E-Bikes in Truck Bed of 2022 Ford F-150
    Hey Jeff; thanks for the question and there is really just one option to carry your heavy ebikes in the bed of your 2022 Ford F-150, and that's with a tailgate pad bike rack: - Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad for Full-Size Trucks # TH824PRO All other truck bed racks have weight limits which your 75 lb bikes far exceed, which is why the pad is the only way to haul the bikes. It does have soft foam padding for cushioning your bikes and straps to prevent them from moving as you travel.

  • Will the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad Work On a 2019 Ram 1500
    I have a few options for you to carry bikes in the bed of your 2019 Ram 1500 (All Models). The best option for you would be dependent on how many bikes you need to haul. If you need to haul multiple bikes then the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad part # TH824PRO is your best option. There won't be any issue using the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad on a 2019 Ram 1500 with curved tailgate. There is also a cutout for models with the tailgate backup camera and padding to protect both your bikes...

  • Thule Truck Bed Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack That Fits 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
    We do have a Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack that fits a 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500, though it is a different one than you mentioned. The correct fit for a 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 is the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack # TH824PRO. I have added some photos showing this on a '19 Silverado 1500 as well as a link to a video review showing it in use on this same truck.

  • Could the Thule Gate Mate Pro Be Used to Carry Kayaks or a Paddle Board
    I suppose you could use the Thule # TH824PRO in this manner; however it's not going to secure the boards or kayak in any manner and it's really just an expensive pad at that point. If you do want to use this in this manner you may want to consider adding some cam buckle straps like the Malone Cam Buckle Load Straps with Buckle Protectors - 12' Long - Red - Qty 2 # MPG307-12 to keep the board or kayak secured in the truck bed. The best solution would be to use a ladder rack. To protect...

  • Recommend Hitch Adapter For Hitch Mounted Kayak Carrier And Hitch Mounted Bike Rack
    We do have an option for you. The option I recommend is adding a front mount trailer hitch receiver to the front of your vehicle to carry your bike rack, or use the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack # TH823PRO if you have a compact truck or the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack # TH824PRO. The reason for this is that the only way to use a hitch mounted kayak carrier and a hitch mounted bike rack at the same time you will need to use a dual hitch adapter which will...

  • Best Tailgate Pad For Carrying Bikes In Bed of a 2024 Ford F-150

  • Solution for Clearing Trailer Jack When Using Thule GateMate Pro on 2021 Ford F-150
    What you said at the end is exactly what I would do with the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad for Full-Size Trucks # TH824PRO. You don't have to load the bikes in a certain position so putting them on the outside would likely solve the problem. Unfortunately, due to the variations in bikes there is no way to have an idea on the clearance without actually trying it. I recommend loading the bikes and taking some slow turns in a parking lot to test for clearance. You want to be sure it works...

  • Recommended Truck Bed Bike Rack for Rad Power RadRover E-Bikes
    In order to carry two Rad Power RadRover E-Bikes in a truck bed, I recommend going with the Topline 2 Bike Carrier Truck Bed Mounted Expandable Bike Rack part # UG2500 because it does not suspend the bikes therefore heavy e-bike won't be an issue, it has locks for security, and you can add to it if needed to carry more bikes. The only potential issue is if you have the version with step-through frame in which case you'd also need the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # 64005. Please...

  • Tailgate Pad Recommendation for 2019 Ram 1500 to Carry Stand Up Paddleboard
    We do! I recommend checking out the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad for Full-Size Trucks # TH824PRO which is 60" wide. This should fit most of the width of your tailgate and while it's typically used for bikes, it can be used for other applications like your paddleboard as well. You'll just need to find a way to secure the paddleboard to the tailgate pad. Attached is a review video for you to check out.

  • How Far Out Does the Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender # MPG907 Extend
    On the Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender # MPG907 the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest edge on the carrier is 53 inches. So to the nearest part of the up right it will be approximately 51 inches. By my calculations your 10 foot, 5 inch kayaks will overhang the bed by 41 inches. That means if you were to slide the kayaks all the way in the upright on this carrier would still be about 10 inches away. All of the similar extenders are a bit too long...

  • Can I Use the Thule GateMate Pro on a Bike With a Large Frame Diameter
    Typically you would need to remove the battery pack from an e-bike to carry it in your 2021 Ford F-150 using the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad for Full-Size Trucks - Up to 8 Bikes - 60" Wide # TH824PRO. The great thing about the GateMate is that the hook and loop straps are 16 inches long overall and would allow you to carry thicker frame bikes; they can also be slid up and down to allow some flexibility in where you can put the straps on the bike. The straps on the GateMate Pro would...

  • Recommended Truck Bed Bike Rack for 2014 Ram Truck with Ramboxes
    The Thule Insta-Gater Pro bike rack, you mentioned, part # TH93VR would be compatible with your truck bed. The rack needs a footprint of about 20 inches, so if you had 50-1/2 inches of tailgate available, you could use two racks side by side. The Thule GateMate Pro, part # TH824PRO would also be a good, inexpensive option. The Ramboxes would prevent you from using any bike rack meant to attach to the side rails, like part # S64701as there would be no place to attach the rack. You can...

  • Tailgate Pad Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2015 Ram 1500
    Personally I like the Softride Shuttle Pad # SR26457 more than the Thule Gate Mate part # TH824PRO because it has the loops that allow a bike to easily be secured to the pad. Thule doesn't have the straps to secure the bikes to the pad, and most likely they wouldn't be necessary. But for added peace of mind I prefer the Softride. I attached review videos for both racks for you to check out.

  • Can Thule GateMate Pro be Used to Carry Fat Tire e-Bikes
    The Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad # TH824PRO will fit your 2016 Toyota Tundra and really just adds some padding to your tailgate and a way to keep your bikes from bouncing around your truck bed. Basically as long as your e-Bikes can fit over your tailgate this pad will work for you! The only place where the bikes are secured at is along the top of the tailgate where the frame of the bike will be making contact (see attached photo). The hook and loop fasteners and be moved along the width...

  • Can Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Bike Rack Be used with 75 lb E-Bikes with Fat Tires
    The Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad for Full-Size Trucks # TH824PRO that you referenced does not have a weight capacity or a tire width limit so it would easily work great with a 75 lb e-bike with 4-inch wide fat tires.

  • How Tight Should Straps of Thule GateMate Pro be On Tailgate
    Thule does not specify a tightness for the straps of the Thule GateMate Pro # TH823PRO on trucks like your 2019 Honda Ridgeline as that's hard to do given the nature of the strap setup but what you'll want to do is tighten them snugly by hand using your best judgment. There are two sizes for this rack though and you should make sure you don't have the larger # TH824PRO which wouldn't fit your tailgate well and might be why you'd have issues tightening it down.

  • Thule Truck Rack Options Compatible with 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 TruXedo Sentry CT Tonneau Cover
    You can use the Thule Insta-Gator Pro # TH93VR and GateMate Pro # TH824PRO with the TruXedo Sentry CT Hard Tonneau Cover # TX1573316 installed on your 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 6-3/4' bed. If you just need to transport 1 bike then the Insta-Gator is my bike rack of choice simply because it's nicer and holds the bike a bike more secure and it has a lock. For multiple bikes use the GateMate Pro though. This is a pad that sits over your tailgate and allows you to carry up to 8 bikes depending...

  • Truck Bed Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2012 Ford F-150 with Tonneau Cover
    Most truck tonneau covers have rails that will interfere with an item like the Swagman truck bed bike rack # S64702. The L-shaped brackets on either end need to set directly against the bed rails. If anything is in the way you will not be able to use this particular bike rack. But not to worry, there are other options. Another option is the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack, # TH824PRO . Bascially it is a mat that goes over the tailgate to protect it and you can attach bikes...

  • Can Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad be Used with the Tailgate Down on a 2012 Ford F-150
    The Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad # TH824PRO will be strapped to the tailgate whether it is up or down so you could have the tailgate down with cargo in the bed while driving and it would be fine.

  • Truck Bed Roof Rack Recommendation for 2019 Ram 3500 with Ram Boxes
    For your 2019 Ram 3500 that has the Ram Boxes you'd want the Thule Gate Mate part # TH824PRO which fits over the rear tailgate and gives you a place to mount a couple bikes. The other styles of bike racks that would clamp to a bed rail cannot be used with your truck due to the Ram Boxes.

The Thule GateMate Pro is super easy to install and it folds up nicely for storage. It's also very universal so you can bring it with you on your new truck when the time comes.

  • Wile Thule TH824PRO GateMate PRO Affect Turning Radius While Towing a Trailer
    If you check out the video I've linked for you, you can see that when the bikes install, the front bike wheels are carried at an angle, so that the front bike wheels aren't taking up very much room at all between the tailgate and where the trailer would sit. The tires wouldn't extend past the rear surface of the tailgate by more than a foot, which would in no way impede your trailer turning radius. You'll see what I mean when you view the video. The Thule GateMate PRO is a pretty innovative...

  • Can Brush Guard be Used With Front Hitch Receiver on 2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty
    I can understand not wanting to remove the brush guard on your 2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty, but unfortunately there are no front mounted hitches that can fit with the guard, because like you said, they do mount in the same location. There are also not any brush guards with a receiver built in, likely because there wouldn't be enough support at the receiver location. So if you do wind up going with a front-mounted hitch on your '16 F-250 you would need to remove the brush guard to install...
