The Thule Bed-Rider Aluminum 2 Bike Carrier, part # TH822XT is designed for 9 mm only but we do have another option that will work for you.

I recommend the Swagman Patrol 2 Bike Rack, part # S64701. This bike rack will hold bikes with 9mm and 15 mm thru-axles, and also includes locks to secure the rack to your truck.

For a less-expensive option you may want to take a look at the Topline Truck Bed Bike Rack, part # UG2500-4. This requires no drilling for installation by attaching tor the side rail of your truck and using the clamps on the included arms to secure the bike by the frame or seat post instead of the forks. This rack also includes a locking cable to help secure the bikes and carrier to your truck. I have attached a product review video you can tale a look at.
