Will Bikes Fit 2017 Ford F-150 5-1/2 Ft Truck Bed With Swagman Pick-Up Truck-Bed-Mounted Carrier

Question:

I have an 2017 F150 with a soft vinyl 3 fold cover. It folds back 2 sections but the 3rd remains in place. Id rather not remove the cover for the summer. If I mount the swagman flush against the last cover that stays in place can I fit roadbikes with remaining space? bed is 5 1/2 ft.

In order to be sure if your bikes will fit in the bed of your truck when installed in the Swagman Pick-Up Truck-Bed-Mounted Bike Carrier, part # S64702 you will need to take a quick measurement.

Measure from the front hub on the bikes rearward to the back of the rear tire. This will give you an idea of how much room you will need.

Measure from the edge of the Tonneau cover to the inside edge of the tailgate when it is closed and then subtract three inches to compensate for the distance from the edge of the foot that clamps to the truck bed to the center of the fork attachment on the carrier.
