Can 2018 Toyota Tacoma Tailgate Fold Down with RockyMounts MonoRail Installed
Question:
Can you fold the tailgate down on a 2018 Tacoma with this rack? I want a rack that when the rack is folded down with no bikes on it I can lower the tailgate without contact.

Expert Reply:
It is possible that the tailgate on your 2018 Toyota Tacoma will make contact with the RockyMounts MonoRail bike rack # RKY10004 even when unloaded and folded/tilted down. The wheel cradles stick up from the base rail by a few inches which is why contact is possible. What I recommend is to use the RockyMounts BackStage # RKY10002.
The BackStage can swing off to the side of the vehicle, with or without bikes loaded, so you have complete access to the rear of the truck. No problem with the tailgate and no bike rack to get in the way when you need access to the bed. I have linked a video review of this rack for you.
