I've used a handful of the tailgate pads and out of all of them I really like the 53" Wide Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad # TH823PRO because it has multiple points along the pads to secure your bikes at, and there are some pouches on the inner-bed portion of the pad to hold messy gear or small things you might need for your ride.

The only negative thing I have to say about the GateMate is the opening for the tailgate handle is smaller than most other brands, but in my opinion the adjustability of the pads and straps outweighs that.

Attached is a review video I made of the GateMate on a 2020 Ford F-250 for you to check out.
