Thule Gate Mate Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack Review - 2013 Ford F-150- Video

Today on our 2013 Ford F150 we'll be test fitting the Thule Gate Mate tailgate pad and bike rack for full-sized trucks, part number th824. We'll begin our test fit by placing the Gate Mate onto our vehicles tailgate. We'll then lift up the hook and loop access pad to expose the tailgate handle. We'll pull down the tailgate handle and shove the three straps on the underside of the tailgate. We'll then close the tailgate and get inside of the bed. Again, we'll open up the tailgate which will allow us to get our fingers down in between the tailgate and the truck bed to pull the straps up through. more

Swagman Pick-Up Truck Bed Bike Rack Review - 2013 Ford F-150- Video

Today on our 2013 Ford F150 we'll be testing the Swagman Pickup Truck Bed Mounted 2 Bike Carrier, part number S64702. We'll begin our test fit by placing one end of the rack onto one side of the bed rail of our truck. We'll then use the silver lever to extend out the bike rack to fit the width of our bed rails. Now what you'll want to do is make the rack a little bit longer than the distance between each bed rail and then insert the bike rack at a diagonal and push it in position, making sure the bike rack is perpendicular to the bed rails of our F150. Now with everything secured and tightened down were ready to load up our bike. We'll double check to make sure the skewer is loosened and we'll place our bike into our truck bed. more
