I do have an option for you, however there is not an adapter available for the Swagman Pick-Up Truck Bed Mounted 2 Bike Carrier # S64702 that allows it to be used with a thru-axle fork.

For a similar truck bed bike rack I recommend taking a look at the Swagman Patrol # S64701 instead. This rack is compatible with 9-mm quick-release skewers and 15-mm thru-axle forks. If you have a 12-mm thru-axle fork you can add the Adapter # S64718.

This carrier will span the width of your truck bed and clamp to the bed rails to allow you to secure up to 2 bikes that weigh 35 pounds each. I have attached a short video review that you can check out as well.
