Expert Answers about Chevrolet Truck Bed Bike Racks


  • 3-Bike Truck-Bed Bike Rack Recommendation
  • We offer several truck bed bike racks, but the 3 Bike Floor Stand # S64018 that you referenced would not work as a bike rack for the bed of your truck. Attempting to do so would most likely damage your bikes and truck bed as well as endanger other motorists. Check out the link I attached that shows all of the truck bed bike racks we offer that are confirmed to work in a truck bed. For a truck bed bike rack that would carry three bikes like the rack you referenced I would recommend the...

  • Truck Bed Bike Rack Recommendation for a 1999 Chevrolet S10 Extended Cab Pickup
  • As long as the front wheel on your bike is connected to the front fork with a 9-mm quick mount skewer, you can bolt the Yakima BlockHead bike carrier, # Y01117, to any part of the truck bed that is sufficient to carry the bike, normally the truck bed rails. This carrier requires drilling and bolting the head to your truck bed. I would recommend the Thule Bed-Rider 2, # TH822XTR, fork mount rack, that can be easily installed and removed, and uses the same style of fork mount attachment....

  • What Truck Bed Bike Rack is Recommended for a 2015 Ford F-150
  • I recommend the Thule Bed-Rider 2 Bike Rack # TH822XTR, it is confirmed to fit on your 2015 Ford F-150 by Thule. This way if you are needing to carry an extra bike, you can carry it using the Thule 1 Bike Add-On # THBRLB2. The Swagman can only carry up to 2 bikes at a time, so this is why I recommend the Thule Bed-Rider. The Bed-Rider requires the bikes you are carrying to have 9-mm quick-release front-wheel-skewers. The Bed-Rider has a one-key system lock to secure your bikes to the...

  • What Truck Bed Rack do You Recommend with the RAK Revolver X4?
  • A great bike rack to use in your truck bed along with the BAK Revolver X4 Hard Tonneau Cover is the Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Rack - 1 Bike # TH93VR. The Insta-Gater is great because unlike bike racks that use a fork mount to the bed's side rails, the Insta-Gater attaches at the truck's tailgate. This allows for you to avoid any potential damage to the rails of the Revolver. This is the closest option to have bike rack compatibility with your Revolver without the rack damaging...

This bike rack is simple to use because all you need to do is open your Tacoma's tailgate, place the rack in the truck bed with the anchors installed below the bed and close your tailgate. You can then...

  • Truck Bed Bike Rack Recommendation for a 1986 Toyota Pickup
  • I may have an option that will work for you, but I do not believe the Topline Truck Bed Bike Rack will work with your truck. It was designed for truck bed walls with an inside lip. Instead, I recommend looking at a bike rack like the Thule Insta-Gater Pro, # TH93VR. This is a wheel mount bike rack that also does not require a lip. I have attached video reviews for each of these bike racks for you to check out.

  • Truck Bed Bike Rack for Ariel Rider D Class E-Bike
  • The Inno Velo Gripper # INRT201 would work great to secure your Ariel Rider D Class e bike in the bed of your truck as it's compatible with fat tire bikes. This is a clamp on style rack that fits to bed rails without tracks/channels. If you have a cargo management system in your truck bed that has channels or tracks we have the channel mount version part # INRT202. These racks attach to the bike frame down tube and provide a secure attachment in the truck bed. We've had customer use...

  • Truck Bed Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2009 Chevy Silverado
  • The RockyMounts LoBall Bike Rack # RKY1097 that you referenced is designed to fit the factory track systems that are on several (but not all) trucks from the factory. If you truck has the slotted track system that runs down the bed rails that is designed for tie-down attachment points this rack would work well for you. Since it sounds like you don't have that rail system on your 2009 Chevy Silverado you instead would want the Yakima Locking BedHead Single Bike Truck Bed Mounted Rack #...

  • What Is the Per Bike Weight Capacity of the Inno Velo Gripper Bike Rack for Truck Beds
  • The Inno Velo Gripper Bike Rack for Truck Beds part # INRT201 has a per bike weight capacity of 33 lbs. The only truck bed bike rack option which can be used with e-bikes is a tailgate pad, the Softride Shuttle Pad Tailgate Pad and Bike Carrier part # SR26461 is what I recommend.

  • Truck Bed Bike Rack Recommendation for 2018 Ram 1500
  • For ease of use and loading I'd prefer the Topline 2 Bike Carrier Truck Bed Mounted Expandable Bike Rack # UG2500 as it clamps on very easily and allows you to keep the front wheel on the bike when loaded. This is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 as well. Check out the review video I attached for this rack as well.

  • Truck Bed 3 Bike Rack for a 2016 GMC Canyon
  • The most popular truck bed bike rack we offer that is a confirmed fit for your 2016 GMC Canyon is the Topline part # UG2500-3. This comes with a cable lock that will lock all three bikes with one key. Of the three bike truck racks this is the one I recommend as it does not require drilling through the floor of the truck bed and can actually lock the bikes unlike the tailgate racks. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.

  • What Simple Solutions are Available for Truck Bed Bike Racks that Carry the Bike Transversely
  • You could probably fit these in the bed of the truck, but it will require drilling through the bed and replacing the U-bolts in the kit with some standard bolts. These particular racks do require removing the front wheel of the bike in order to get it in the rack. We have simpler bolt-on bike racks that you could orient however you want, like the Swagman part # S64700. I will provide a link to all of them below so you can compare. Any of the above solutions will require removing the front...

  • Recommended Truck Bed Bike Rack For Truck With Bed Liner And Cap
  • The Thule Bed-Rider Bike Carrier, part # TH822XTR will not work with trucks that have a bed liner and cap, but I do have a solution for you. I recommend the Swagman Patrol 2 Bike Rack for Truck Beds - Fork Mount # S64701. When installing this when a bed liner is present, you will need to cut away part of the underside bed liner so the screw used to tighten the bracket can be used. You can check out the attached installation instructions to see how this is installed. I have also attached...

  • Truck Bed Bike Rack Recommendation for 3 Bikes
  • The Swagman truck bed bike rack # S64702 is only designed for 2 bikes so a third cannot be added. But we do have a similar rack on which you can add another bike. Take a look at the Thule Bed-Rider, # TH822XTR. It comes with 2 fork mounts but you can add another using # THBRLB2. I have included links to a video review and the instructions for you. I have also included a link to all of the truck bed bike racks we carry.

  • Truck Bed Bike Rack Recommendation for a Truck with a Tonneau Cover
  • I have a solution for you, but you would not be able to use a Yakima BikerBar bike rack part # Y01141 with a tonneau cover like the Truxedo LoPro QT # TX569101 that you referenced. Instead you would want a bike rack that attaches to the floor of the truck bed so that it does not interfere with the cover like the Saris Traps Fork-Block 3 Bike Carrier # SATRK34-BLK3.

  • Truck Bed Bike Racks that Wont Interfere with Ladder Rack in a 2010 Toyota Tacoma
  • Truck bed bike racks such as # S64702 will need to rest on top of the bed sides. Otherwise they will not stay in place as you drive. What I recommend is the Softride Shuttle Pad # SR26461. These tailgate pads actually work quite well and you would not have to worry about the handlebars on the bikes interfering with the ladder rack. Another option, if your truck has the factory cargo management rails in the bed, is the Velo Gripper # INRT202. This is for one bike and it mounts to the cargo...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for Truck with Tonneau Cover
  • We have bike racks like the can attach to the top of a hard tonneau cover like the very cost-effective Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Carrier # HRT970. This is a bolt-on product that holds your bike at the fork. If this doesnt work for you email me back with the style of tonneau cover you have, the truck you have, bed length, and if the tonneau goes over the bed rails of the truck.

  • Availability of Topline Truck Bed Bike Carrier for Single Bike
  • The Swagman Patrol # S64701 will transport 2 bikes in your truck bed. It is a fork-mount carrier. I like that it is easy to use and comes with locks. If you prefer to not remove your front wheel for the fork-mount or your bike is not compatibly then a simple solution would be the Swagman Paramount Tailgate Pad Bike Rack # S84FR . This will carry up to 5 bikes in your truck bed.

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for Front Hitch of Truck with Truck Bed Camper
  • For carrying a single bike rack on the front hitch of a truck the Let's Go Aero NEO2, part # B01748 would be a great option that for the hitch. No bike rack is realistically going to fit behind your truck bed camper due to it's longer distance between the hitch pin and the rear of it.
