To allow you to open the tailgate on any truck the way to go is with the RockyMounts BackStage 2 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches part # RKY10002. As you will see in the video I linked for you this allows you to swing the bike and bike rack out of the way so you have full access to your truck bed.

It is a really well built easy to use rack and will carry bikes up to 60 lbs with tires up to 5" wide anywhere from 20"-29" so it covers a very wide range of bike types. It can be used with plenty of frame styles as well since it uses the wheel to hold the bike and not the frame. This means step through frame or alternative frame type bikes will not need any type of adapters.
