  • How To Mount 2 Bikes In The Bed Of A Truck
  • I have a possible solution for you, however, we do not carry the Uni-Grip Truck Bed Bike Rack. The closest product available would likely be the Swagman Pick-Up Truck-Bed-Mounted 2 Bike Carrier - Locking - Fork Mount # S64702 which is compatible with just about any truck bed and is a very affordable option. The adjustable width is 52"-69" and the weight capacity is 80lbs total. It is designed to carry 2 bikes by the forks but you can add a 3rd bike by using an additional fork-mount block...

  • Availability of a 4 Bike Truck Bed Mount Bike Rack that Will Fit a 2010 Nissan Frontier
  • We have numerous truck bed mount bike racks, and I am sure that one of them will be the right fit for your 2010 Nissan Frontier. First, if your truck DOES NOT have the tie down track system in the bed, you will be able to use the Truck Bed 4 Bike Carrier - Topline, # UG2500-4. If your truck does have the tie down system, then you may be interested in The Claw Fork Mount Bike Carrier, # S64700.

  • Availability of Folding Cargo Carrier with Bike Rack Adapter
  • If you used a folding carrier with a long shank, like the Curt 24 x 60 carrier, part # C18151, the rack should be able to fold up just fine once the bikes are removed. If you're speaking of a combination cargo carrier/bike rack like the # HR1400Z-85, the bike rack portion will fold, but not the cargo carrier. This is the only combination bike rack/cargo carrier we offer. Or, if you have a truck bed, may I suggest the # s64703, the Swagman fork mount bike rack will bolt-on to your truck...

  • Availability of Softride Tailgate Pad Bicycle Transporter in 45 Inch Width
  • Softride makes another size, 54 inches, part # SR26461 designed for mid-sized trucks, but nothing designed for a 45 inch wide tailgate.

  • Mid Level Ladder Rack that Fits 2022 Ford F-150 5.5 Bed with RetraxPRO XR Tonneau Cover
  • Since the RetraxPRO XR part # RTX47SR for your 2022 Ford F-150 5-1/2 ft bed has the accessory T-slots the best option for a a mid level ladder rack would be the Yakima Outpost HD Overland part # Y01152-5855 which comes with adapters to fit the tracks of your tonneau. The upright height of this would be 13 inches above the bed rails of your truck. Or we have options that are just a few inches above the bed rails: For 71" crossbars you will want the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars for Retrax...

  • Availability of Bolt-On Bike Carriers for Trailer Decking
  • What a good question! Erickson offers no such item as an e-track-compatible fork-mount bike holder like # RKY1097 but this is a really good thought. I called Erickson to confirm they offer no such item and I passed along your creative idea. On the page I linked for you are displayed the bolt-on fork-mount carriers we do offer. The bargain of the group is the Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Carrier # HRT970. This bolts on to a trailer deck or other suitable mounting surface to allow transporting...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2016 Volkswagen Jetta
  • SeaSucker does offer the Komodo part # 298-BK1910-BK which is a fit for your 2016 Volkswagen Jetta but the Falcon is only for truck bed. The SeaSucker is an amazing rack but, I realize that's quite a large price difference so you might instead like the Thule OutWay # TH45JV. The OutWay which is an extremely high quality bike rack that fits your vehicle and costs less than the SeaSucker. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may...

  • Dual-Receiver Hitch for 2004 GMC Sierra 2500 with 6-1/2-Foot Bed
  • For your 2004 GMC Sierra 2500 with 6-1/2-foot bed we do have a dual-receiver hitch option from TorkLift, part # TLC1204, which has two 2-inch receiver openings. This allows use of a hitch-mount carrier, such as a bike rack, while towing. The Sierra's factory hitch needs to be removed to install the TorkLift. TorkLift makes the only dual hitch we currently offer for your truck and as you noted it features excellent build quality including reinforced pin holes. Another option is to install...

  • Is There a Bike Rack That Will Attach to the Thule Goalpost Load Bar TH997
  • According to my contact at Thule there is no bike rack add-on for use with their older Goalpost Hitch Mounted load extender TH997. The only potential option for carrying bikes on a hitch-mount carrier while the Goalpost is in use is a dual receiver adapter like the Curt # D-192. You will need to check a few things before going this route. This (or any) adapter will reduce your hitch capacity by 50-percent. This means that the weight of the Goalpost (about 30-lbs) along with the weight...

  • Part to Secure Bike Rear Wheel When Transported on Fork-Mount Carrier Like RKY1097
  • It sounds like you are using a fork-mount bike carrier like the RockyMounts LoBall # RKY1097 and you want a method to secure the rear tire at the same time. We do not have any such item but you have certainly pointed to a need in the market! One idea I can offer is to use a replacement wheel holder from another bike carrier, such as # 8523598001, # HRSPRWHR-F-HD or # 7521682001. Naturally you would have to use some of your own ingenuity for the installation. All such items are displayed...

  • Which Ladder Rack Can I Use With My Tonneau Bed Cover On 2016 Ford F-150?
  • If your bed cover is an inside-the-rail mount, then you can go with a ladder rack that mounts on top of your bed rails. I recommend looking into the Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Steel with Aluminum Crossbars. This ladder rack has crossbars measuring 62" long and has a 500lb weight capacity. For 5-1/2' bed go with Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A70490. For 6-1/2' bed go with Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A90630. For 8' bed go with Adarac Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack...

  • Can 2 of the Yakima BlockHead Truck Bed Bike Racks be Ordered Keyed Alike
  • The Yakima BlockHead # Y01118 all come keyed unique. But if you wanted 2 keyed alike you would go ahead an order 2 and then get a set of Yakima lock cores, # Y07202, which comes with the change key to replace the locks in the BlockHeads. Because of the added expense it is probably easier to just have the 2 different keys.
