Kuat Huk Half Tailgate Bike Pad Review - 2019 Ford F-150- Video

Howdy there neighbors, Ian with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Kuat HUK on our 2019 Ford F-150. Let's get into it. Major difference between the Kuat full tailgate cover and the half pad here is that it does give you access to your rear view camera and this handle, you won't be able to drop it with the bike up there, but you don't have any flap like you would with the full size. This makes it a little more convenient if you're concerned about the camera being covered up while you're traveling with your bikes. So with this being a two-bike carrier, it's gonna have a couple different options as far as where you can put these retention straps. more

Colin: Hey everyone, it's Colin here at etrailer. Today we have in here a 2019 Ford Ranger, and right now we're test fitting the Thule GateMate Pro truck bed bike rack. Now this is a mat that's going to go over top of your tailgate, it's going to be a really nice solution for getting some bikes loaded into the bed of your pickup, and securing them so they don't shift around at all while you're traveling. Now, in my personal opinion of if I own a truck, the last thing I want to do is put a hitch bike rack on it when I have the bed to use for that reason. However, like I said, sometimes when you get a lot of bikes loaded, they could shift around a lot, that could cause them to fall to the side of your vehicle, maybe scratch up the top right here, or even shift and scratch on each other.So with this, you just get that front tire over top of it and then use the included hook and loop strap to get it secured. You're going to be able to get up to six bikes loaded on here, so that's going to be more than enough capacity to get a family's worth of bikes loaded. more
