Expert Answers about Chevrolet Truck Bed Bike Racks


  • Recommended Truck Bed Bike Rack on 2016 GMC Sierra 3500 with Side Rails
  • I have a truck bed bike rack for you, but unfortunately the Yakima Timberline Towers # Y33TR are not made to connect to the raised side rails of your truck bed. To carry bikes on a bike rack mounted in the bed of your 2016 GMC Sierra 3500 I recommend checking out the RockyMounts Truck Bed Track # RKY10995 and pairing that with a RockyMounts LoBall Locking Truck Bed Bike Rack # RKY1096 for each bike. The track permanently installs on your truck bed and then the LoBall is lockable so your...

  • Can I Carry Four Bikes On Truck Bed Mounted Bike Racks In My 2021 Chevrolet Silverados Truck Bed
  • You may be able to fit three of the Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Rack - 1 Bike, part # TH93VR, in your truck bed, but it will be a tight fit. You can also go with someting like the Swagman Tailwhip Tailgate Pad for Mid-Size Trucks - Up to 4 Bikes - 54" Wide, part # S64761. This will allow you to carry four bikes by hanging over your tailgate on this padded carrier. Each bike will be held by a strap on your downtube. If you want to use a traditional truck mounted system to carry...

  • Best Truck Bed Bike Rack For 2020 Chevy Colorado
  • I recommend 2 sets of the Inno Velo Gripper Bike Rack for Truck Beds - Clamp On part # INRT201 for the bed of the 2020 Chevy Colorado. The Inno Gripper does not require cutting the bed liner in the new truck (if the truck has a bed liner) like with other truck bed bike rack options. It also comes with protective plates for the top of your bed rails to protect the paint. The Inno grips the bikes by their frame so you will not have to worry about taking the front wheel off every time you...

  • Truck Bed Bike Rack For Truck With Tonneau Cover Rails
  • The Inno Velo Gripper part # INRT201 installs where the tonneau cover rails are installed so it will not fit with the rails. I have attached a photo that shows how the Inno Velo Gripper is attached to the bed rail. I recommend the Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed bike rack part # TH93VR to carry a bike in your truck bed because it allows you to carry 1 bike in the bed without interfering with the tonneau cover rails. The Thule Insta-Gater Pro is held in place by the tailgate compared to...

  • Options for Carrying 4 Bikes In a 2010 Toyota Tacoma Truck Bed with Rail Track Tie Down System
  • We do have some truck bed mounted bike racks that will work with your 2010 Toyota Tacoma with rail track system, but the Topline system will not fit because direct access to the bed rails is needed to secure the clamps. For in bed 4 bike transport you could use four of the Yakima BlockHead Single Bike Truck Bed Mounted Racks, item # Y01117. Another option for your truck would be a hitch mounted bike rack like the Thule Camber, item # TH9056. If you need a hitch for your truck we have...

  • Will Topline Expandable Truck Bed Bike Rack Carry Mountain Bikes
  • Tire size is not a factor as far as fit/compatibility for the Topline Truck Bed Bike Rack # AB2600. Instead you will want to measure the diameter of the mountain bike frames to see if the clamps will fit your bikes.The clamps fit bike frames up to 1-1/2 inches in diameter. Another option is the Thule Insta-Gater Truck Bed Single Bike rack, part # TH93VR. This is a single bike rack, but you can put two of them side by side in your truck bed. This bike rack holds the bikes by a ratcheting...

  • Will Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Rack Work On a Bike with Fenders
  • The Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Rack part # TH93VR shouldn't be used on a bike with fenders as you'd have to place the hook before the fender and that could create a weak hold. That said, you can secure the rack to either the front or rear wheel so you might still be able to secure the bike if there's only a fender on the front or rear. If there are fenders over the front and rear wheels then I recommend going with a different option like the Inno Velo Gripper Bike Rack for Truck...

  • Will the Swagman Pick-Up Truck Bed Mounted Bike Rack Fit on a 2007 Ford Ranger w/o Stepside Bed
  • The Swagman Pick-Up Truck Bed Mounted 2 Bike Carrier # S64702 will fit your 2007 Ford Ranger without the Stepside Bed. This bike carrier will snap right into your bed and will adjust to fit the width of your bed. While the Integrated push-button lock secures the rack to your truck bed, you can add a padlock similar to part # 131D on the telescoping arm lever for added security. I attached a review video of the truck bed rack you may want to check out.

  • Truck Bed Bike Rack and Tonneau Cover Compatibility on 2015 GMC Sierra 1500
  • We do offer both truck bed bike racks and tonneau covers for your 2015 GMC Sierra 1500. Certain combinations of bike racks and covers will not be compatible with each other but certainly there will be combinations of a tonneau and a truck-bed rack that will work well together. If you have a hitch on your Sierra this can give you both high bike carrying capacity via a hitch-mount rack AND avoid any interference with a fully-closed tonneau cover. We offer Curt 2-inch Class III hitch # C13175...

  • Will the Swagman Truck Bed Bike Rack Fit a 2008 Ford Sport Trac?
  • I spoke with my contact at Swagman and he said the Truck Bed Mount Bike Rack part # S64702 is adjustable down to 50-1/4 inches. So if your 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac has a bed that measures 50 inches wide it is going to be a very tight fit. Another option would be the Yakima BlockHead Single Bike Truck Bed Mounted Rack # Y01117. This rack is intended as a universal carrier that can fit the majority of bicycle sizes and types when mounted in a truck bed.

  • Will Two Thule Insta-Gater Truck Bed Single Bike Racks Fit in the Bed of a 2004 Ford Ranger Edge
  • The Thule Insta-Gater Truck Bed Single Bike Rack, item # TH93VR, is 18 inches wide and requires 20 inches of space to be mounted. Two of these can be mounted side by side if your truck bed is at least 40 inches wide or wider. Another option for carrying two bikes in the bed is the Swagman Patrol 2 Bike Rack for Truck Beds - Fork Mount # S64701, which mounts to the bed rail and holds the bikes without using the tailgate to secure them.

  • Best Locking Bike Racks for a Truck Bed
  • If you are looking for a truck bed bike rack that actually locks to a truck bed, then you will want to look at the Swagman Patrol, # S64701. The biggest difference with this bike rack and the Topline you were originally looking at is that the front wheel must be removed to mount the bikes. There is also a price difference as the locking bike racks always tend to run higher in price to bike racks that don't lock. This is more of a "you get what you pay for" type of situation. If you aren't...

  • Clamp On Truck Bed Bike Rack for 2004 Chevy Silverado Stepside Truck
  • Thule offers a similar product that would be compatible with your truck. The Thule Bed Rider 2, part # TH822XTR fits truck beds from 47-3/4 to 70 inches in width. The Swagman # S64702 trunk bed bike rack fits truck beds that measure between 52-69 inches in width. My research indicates that the bed of a 2004 Silverado stepside is 49-1/16 inches wide when measured between the bed sides. If that's the case with your truck, the # S64702 Swagman rack wouldn't fit.

  • Truck Bed Bike Racks That Will Fit A 2020 Chevy Colorado
  • For the 2020 Chevy Colorado I recommend to use 2 sets of the Inno Velo Gripper Bike Rack for Truck Beds - Clamp On part # INRT201 which easily clamp on the bed rail and hold the bike with it's rod and ratcheting strap system. We have had a lot of good reviews on the Inno Velo bike rack regarding it's longevity and ease of installation compared to the other truck bed bike rack options for the Chevy. I have attached a couple of videos and photos for your reference.

  • Can Two Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Racks Be Used Together In a Truck Bed
  • The Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Racks part # TH93VR is a great choice to carry a bike in a truck bed. It is also possible to use more than one to carry multiple bikes but this would come down to the bikes being carried so it's not really something I can advise on. That said, you should not have much of an issue using two on any standard 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton, or 1 ton pickup. This should be able to be determine by simply standing the bikes up in the truck bed like how they would sit...

  • Truck Bed Bike Rack That Isn't Fork Mounted That Works With A 1966 Dodge Pickup
  • The Replacement Wheel Holder for Swagman G10 Bike Rack # G1025 unfortunately does not fit the Swagman Pick-Up Truck-Bed-Mounted 2 Bike Carrier # S64702. If you wanted a truck bed bike rack, that mounts via the wheel rather than the fork, then the Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Rack # TH93VR would work great for you. This rack can accommodate one bike weighing 50-lbs with a maximum tire diameter of 20"-29", and a maximum tire width of 5".

  • Will Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Rack Work on Truck With Bed Cap
  • A truck bed cap/cover will not interfere whatsoever with the Thule truck bed bike rack you asked about, which is the following part number: - Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Rack # TH93VR The Insta-Gater # TH93VR stands just 6-5/8" tall, so it won't have any contact with the top of your truck bed cap. That said, I don't have any way of knowing how tall your bike is to know if you can stand it up, so you'd need to measure the height from the floor to the bed cap and then measure the...

  • Thule Insta-Gater Truck Bed Single Bike Rack Fitment in 2005 Subaru Baha
  • The Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Single Bike Rack, part # TH93VR will work with your 2005 Subaru Baha pickup if your bike will fit in the bed. I referenced a video and it shows that the front wheel of the bike is pressed up against the tailgate when it is closed, so if your bike fits in the bed of your vehicle the bike rack will work.

  • Truck Bed Bike Racks Compatible With Tonneau Cover
  • The Thule Insta-Gater Pro, part # TH93VR would be a very good choice that wouldn't involve any drilling into the vehicle. Because the rack is a wheel mount bike rack, you wouldn't need to remove the bike's front wheel. Because the rack is closed in the tailgate, it can easily be removed when it's not needed.
