Kuat Truck Bed Bike Racks Review - 2015 Toyota Tacoma- Video

Hi everyone. Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Kuat Huk mid-size tailgate pad and seeing how it fits on the back of our 2015 Toyota Tacoma. Now it's gonna be a great way to carry up to five bikes with you in your Tacoma, which is a really solid option because most hitch mounted bike racks can only carry up to four bikes. There's a few specialty ones out there that can do more but I'd argue that this is gonna be the easier method of doing it just because it's pretty easy to load up and it's very cost effective too. But there's a lot of options in the world to tailgate pads so what makes the Kuat Huk unique There's a number of things including the ton of padding that's all on the front, the top and the back which offers ample protection for both your bike and your tailgate. more

Kuat Truck Bed Bike Racks Review - 2015 Toyota Tacoma KU49ZR- Video

Hi, everyone. Aiden here with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Kuat Huk Tailgate Pad and seeing how it fits on our 2015 Toyota Tacoma. Now, this is gonna be the half pad, the one that can only hold up to one or two bikes but only takes up about half of your tailgate, so this whole side here completely open. Which is great because it doesn't interfere with as much that way. Now if we shifted this over to the driver's side of the Tacoma, our backup camera would be completely visible but the tailgate pad would partially block our handle to lower our tailgate. more

You've got a ton of padding over the front, the top, and the back of the whole tailgate pad which wedges the bike in place and a strap on the back will secure it and get a really strong fit. more

Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Racks Review - 2020 Toyota Tundra- Video

Hey everybody Welcome at etrailer.com, I'm Bobby, today we're taking a look at Hollywood racks tailgate pad, here on our 2020 Toyota Tundra. If you looking at a way of getting a lot of bikes to the trail head with you, this can be an excellent option. Now as you see, we're only on the 53 inch version here today, not covering the entirety of our tailgate. If you are looking for that kinda option there are more at etrailer.com, we just want to go ahead and show up the Hollywood racks here today, and that it is still able to be put on here, you are just losing a little bit here about a hand on each side, which isn't too crazy for ourselves today. Now keep an eye on though too, since we are on that 53 inch version, we are gonna be limited to four bikes on this guy, Now personally I think you might be able to fit just a few more, but we only actually have four straps included today now they are just a simple little buckle system here, and you can interchange their links just by adjusting your cam buckles of course, now the only thing I will say to it though, you are stuck on your shortest length, so here today, we are on our shortest length here on our mountain bike, and as you guys can see, we actually are having to go to bolt up our rails here to make sure that we can actually get a good fit on here. One thing I'll say with it too though, it is kinda be almost shift, which we're gonna tailgate pad isn't gonna be the greatest thing for you, now personally, I think you're always gonna be better served by maybe going up to the Thule gate mate pro, that guy is gonna give you a lot better tie-down points, a lot more padding, but if you're looking for a way to just getting yourself going up to the trails, this isn't going to hurt you, yes you're gonna see a little bit of shifting this on your bikes, but we shouldn't have too much interaction, especially as you get four guys up on here, and we know they won't be extended any further because we do have these nice thick pads on the end too, which will prevent our bikes from actually going over the edge which you do love to see. more

We're going to show you how we secure everything down, and then we'll go over some things that you can actually load up on here. So, I've just got this set right here, and what I'm going to do is start by adjusting it, making sure that our pads are sticking up and are at the ends, and then we'll open up our flack here. We're just going to open up our tailgate and let that hang down as normal, and because my arms aren't long enough I can't reach over to secure my straps into place, so what I have to do is actually feed them underneath my tailgate up under here and reach in between the two like so and just pull it up through, so if you're having difficulty feeding it through the bottom and reaching around and pulling it up, this might be an easier way to do so. Now, when I have that, I'm going to set my tailgate pad so that the tailgate kind of holds it in place, and we'll pull the rest of that strap through and we'll tighten it down a bit more. Now, we'll do the same thing on this side here; pull our strap out, reach it through. Let's go up and then down through our buckle and tighten that up a bit. more
