How Does the Swagman Pick-Up Truck-Bed Bike Carrier Install and What Locking Options Are There

Question:

2021 f150. How would this bolt to the truck bed floor? Is a standard locking for mount also available? Will two mountain bikes with wide bars fit side by side without skewing one bike at an angle? Thank you!

The Swagman Pick-Up Truck-Bed-Mounted 2 Bike Carrier # S64702 will not bolt to the truck bed floor in your 2021 Ford F-150. This is a tension mount rack that spans across your truck bed and mounts on the bed rails. I have included a video that demonstrates how the rack installs.

The Swagman Pick-Up Truck-Bed-Mounted 2 Bike Carrier # S64702 does have an included locking mechanism. But you can also add a padlock with a 3/16" diameter shackle for extra security on the rack. You can then also use a cable lock to secure the bikes to the rack.

The fork mounts on the Swagman Pick-Up Truck-Bed-Mounted 2 Bike Carrier # S64702 can be adjusted side to side, allowing you to fit your two mountain bikes side by side.
