Expert Answers about Toyota Truck Bed Bike Racks


  • Truck Bed Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation For A 2022 Toyota Tacoma
  • I took a look at the Inno Velo Gripper Bike Rack for Truck Beds - C-Channel Mount # INRT202 that you mentioned, and it does not look like it is going to fit your 2022 Toyota Tacoma, however I do have another alternative. Instead, check out the: -RockyMounts DropTop Locking Truck Bed and Utility Track Bike Rack # RKY57ZR. This bike rack will mount into the bed of your truck bed and will fit bikes with a 12-mm or 15-mm thru-axle up to 110-mm wide. Additionally, this rack has a carrying...

  • Truck Bed Bike Rack to Carry One Bike Upright
  • It sounds like the Thule Insta-Gater Truck Bed Single Bike Rack # TH93VR is exactly what you're looking for. This will carry a single bike in your truck's bed and holds the bike by the wheel behind the forks. So the bike stands upright and the wheel does't need to be removed. The Insta-Gater is held in place by the opening of your tail gate. Check out the video I've linked to see how it works.

  • Thru-Axle Bike Rack to Fit with Bolt-On Truck Bed Track for 2019 Honda Ridgeline
  • The correct thru-axle mount bike rack to use with the RockyMounts Truck Bed Track for Fork Mount Bike Racks # RKY10993 on your 2019 Honda Ridgeline is the RockyMounts DriveShaft Track Truck Bed Bike Rack # RKY1086. This can be mounted in different orientations and is the best option for the Truck Bed Track. I confirmed this with my contact at RockyMounts. The DriveShaft Track is compatible with 12-mm, 15-mm, 20-mm, and Boost 110 axles but if you have a 9-mm axle then you also need the...

  • Alternative Options To Transport 3 Bikes With A Truck That Has Putco Locker Rails
  • As of right now, there isn't a crossbar set that will work with your Putco Locker rails, however I do have a few other solutions. If you really wanted crossbars, you'd have to use a traditional ladder rack like the Rola Haul-Your-Might T3 Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum # 59799 which already has the crossbars installed, Or, If the crossbars aren't a concern you could just use an in-bed bike rack like the: -Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Rack # TH93VR. This is an in-bed bike...

  • Truck Bed Bike Rack to Fit a 2017 Honda Ridgeline
  • We do have truck bed bike racks that may work for you but the Inno Velo Gripper # INRT202 is not designed for the 2017 Honda Ridgeline. For a no-drill option you could take a took at the Softride Shuttle Pad Tailgate Pad for Mid-Size Trucks - Up to 6 Bikes - 54" Wide Item # SR26461. This heavy-duty, padded vinyl cover provides an easy, inexpensive way to carry up to 6 bikes over the tailgate of your pickup truck. Included wraps let you tether bikes together on a daisy chain, and a built-in...

  • Is There Recommended Mounting Hardware to Mount the Tuck Bike Carrier # HRT970 to Truck Bed Rails
  • Since the Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Carrier # HRT970 is universal there is no recommended type of screws for different mounting applications. The only thing that we recommend is NOT using self-tapping screws. We do not carry any hardware for installation but you should be able to find the appropriate screws at your local hardware store. Since the bike will not necessarily be locked to the bike rack you might be interested in using the 10' Long Cable Lock # e98891 to help deter theft...

  • Carrying a Mountain Bike with a 15-mm Thru-Axle Using a Swagman Truck Bed Carrier
  • The Swagman Pick-Up Truck-Bed-Mounted Bike Carrier # S64702 does only include 9-mm skewers. You can add the Swagman Spire # S64706 which will adapt the 15-mm thru-axle fork on your bike to fit the pickup carrier. The Spire isn't quite as convenient as using the Swagman Patrol # S64701 but it is more economical.

  • Keyed Alike Cable Lock Option For The RockyMounts LoBall Truck Bed Bike Rack
  • For the RockyMounts LoBall Truck Bed Bike Rack # RKY1095 I recommend checking out the: -etrailer Cable Lock # e98891. This lock core can be ordered keyed alike, so when you order two they will be keyed the same so you won't have to carry around different keys.

  • Recommended Truck Bed Ladder Rack For A 2019 Ford F-150 With A Weather Tech Tonneau Cover
  • When it comes to installing a ladder rack on your 2019 Ford F-150 5-1/2 foot bed with a weather tech tonneau cover I would recommend The Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack - 1,250 pounds # TH43002XT-508. I did some research and it looks like the Weather Tech tonneau cover mounts inside the bed rails, so the rack above will mount on top of the truck bed rails. The TracRac provides the ultimate in versatility with this sliding ladder rack. Rack adjusts along the length of your...

  • Rails to Install Crossbars On Truck Bed
  • Although we don't carry a purpose-built stake pocket mounted rail system, we do offer a rack system that would mount to the bed sides without needing a track, thus accomplishing the same thing. You'd need the Yakima BedRock HD Truck Bed Rack, part # Y01160-59. The racks are lockable to the truck, to deter theft and have a whopping 300 lb capacity when the vehicle is on the road or a generous 180 lbs when used off-road. I've linked to a product demonstration video where my buddy Hayden...

  • Ladder Rack for Carrying Bike Rack on 2018 Ram 3500 with Folding Tonneau Cover

The SR has the ability to slide along the rails when you need to make adjustments (like going from longer loads to something shorter like a bike rack) plus it uses T-Slots in the crossbars so that you can mount a bike...

The Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks - 2 inch Hitches # Y02483 has a weight capacity of 250 pounds and can carry up to 4 bikes.

  • Rack Recommendation for Pace Edwards UltraGroove Tonneau Cover on a 2023 GMC Sierra 3500
  • I'd be happy to help you with a rack system above the Pace Edwards UltraGroove Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover # PE57CV for the long bed on your 2023 GMC Sierra 3500. For a simple rack system you can use the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars # RRVA180B-RRRLT600 which sits about 4" above the tonneau cover and has a 220 lb weight capacity. Then if you don't already have a bike rack or kayak carrier I recommend the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack # TH599000 and the Yakima BigCatch Kayak Roof Rack w/...

  • Recommended Ladder Rack Compatible with Truxedo Sentry CT Tonneau on 2020 Ford F-150
  • As far as ladder racks compatible with your Truxedo Sentry CT # TX1597701 go, the Thule TracRac SR Sliding Truck Bed Ladder Rack - 1,250 lbs # TH43002XT-508 is the best choice. This ladder rack has a rail system that installs on top of the bed rails, so it won't interfere with the tonneau cover that is mounted inside the bed rails. The TracRac SR provides a ton of flexibility with its' ability to slide towards the truck cab, so it's a great choice. To carry bikes on your TracRac SR I recommend...

  • Swing Away Hitch Bike Carrier Setup for 2017 Ford F-250 with Truck Camper
  • Using a 2-1/2-inch to 2-inch hitch reducer sleeve like # C45405, # BWRHXA2182 or # DTADP35 will allow a 2-inch accessory to fit in your 2-1/2-inch hitch but these Thule and Yakima bike racks you mentioned include their own anti-rattle locks that will not fit the 2-1/2-inch hitch tube. There is another solution to give you the swing-away feature you need for camper access. You would still use one of the reducer sleeves above (or one of the others on the linked page) and add the Yakima...

  • Cross Bars And Bike Rack Recommendation For Pace Edwards Tonneau Cover With Ultragroove Rails
  • While there isn't something like the RockyMounts Truck Bed Track for Fork Mount Bike Racks # RKY10992 that is available and can be mouned into the Ultragroove rails on your Pace Edwards tonneau cover I do have another solution. Instead, you could mount a set of crossbars like Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00426, with the Landing Pad 1 for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers # Y00221, and the BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y28TR, and connect them to the T-track in your tonneau cover.

  • Roof Rack System to Carry a Kayak and Two Bikes on a 2010 Toyota Tundra with a Truck Bed Shell
  • I recommend installing the Rhino-Rack Vortex Roof Rack System onto your 2010 Toyota Tacoma's camper shell. It's a track mount system that comes in black, # Y02-490B. Once you have the roof rack installed you can use the Rhino-Rack Kayak Carrier # S512 for the kayak. This carrier folds down when not in use. Add the Malone QuickLash Hood Loops # MPG308 to make it easier to secure the bow and stern. Then I recommend 2 of the Thule UpRide # TH599000 for the bikes. The carriers can be...

  • Recommendation for Carrying Bikes Between Truck and Trailer
  • For your application I recommend checking out the Replacement Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount # 325-GH-204. This fits a 2" hitch and allows you to use 1 receiver for towing your trailer and then you can mount your Thule T2 Pro X Bike Rack # TH83GC in the taller receiver. Please note this will only be a viable solution if you don't have anything tall on the tongue of your trailer - like a jack. You can check to see if your bike rack will hit anything on your trailer by measuring from...
