Expert Answers about Truck Bed Bike Racks


  • What Are Cargo Management Rails And How Do They Work With Truck Bed Bike Racks 2014 Toyota Tundra
  • The cargo management rails that our truck bed bike rack selection guide is referring to are side-rails that are installed on the inside of the truck bed frame rails. With these internal side rails installed you can add cross bars which will then give you two layers of cargo carrying ability. These rails are typically dealer installed and are not offered with all makes and models of trucks. I could not find where Toyota has these rails however this is an option on Ford trucks and Nissan...

  • Option For Carrying Kayak Or Surfboard In Truck Bed
  • I see you got the RockyMounts LoBall Bike Rack for Truck Bed # RKY1097. We do not have a kayak or surfboard carrier that mounts in the truck bed like the RockyMounts.

We carry tailgate pads like part # SR26457 for full-size and part # S64761 for mid-size trucks. These are pads that are attached to the tailgate and you then carry the board or kayak as shown in the...

  • Way to Lock Thule Insta-Gater Truck Bike Rack to 2017 Ford F-150
  • For the Thule Insta-Gater Pro truck bike rack # TH93VR an accessory lock is integrated to allow locking the loaded bike to the rack but this does not secure the rack itself as you noted. To do this I recommend a cost-effective cable lock such as # e98891 that can be routed through the rack tubing and to your truck's tie downs. You could also use one cable lock to secure the bike to the Insta-Gater, if you prefer not to use Thule's own lock core, and another to secure the rack to the truck's...

  • Wind Noise Generated by Roof and Ladder Racks Mounted on Vehicles
  • Any exterior vehicle feature, whether a roof rack or ladder rack or bike or cargo carrier that can catch wind has the potential to also generate noise. This noise is commonly a whistling-type sound as you noted. Often the objects that are mounted to the roof rack or ladder rack, say two roof-mount bike carriers and bikes on a roof rack or a ladder and some lumber on a pickup truck ladder rack, can actually make more noise than the rack itself. There are many variables in play when it comes...

  • Is Roadmaster Dual Hitch Adapter Class 3 Rated
  • The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, 2" or 10" Drop/Rise # RM-077-10 is not Class 3 rated because only hitches are rated by class as opposed to any adapter. And for question two, actual weight is pretty irrelevant in all honesty; Roadmaster's engineers have determined the # RM-077-10 is able to withstand the very fluid ride of a flat towed vehicle and its smooth suspension but not the extremely rough, bouncing, constant motion of a trailer and its very basic suspension.
