Today on our 2014 Ram 2500, well be test fitting the Thule Gate Mate tailgate pad and bike rack for full size trucks, part number TH824. Well begin our test fit by first draping the gate mate over the truck bed tailgate. Youre going to make sure that the opening with the envelope shaped flap is facing the outside. This flap will give you access to the tailgate handle. Once thats down, we can then take one of the straps and lower the tailgate down to about a 45 degree angle. Well thread the strap up through the bottom of the tailgate and the base of the truck bed. Well then reach around to the inside of the truck bed and pull the strap up. more

Swagman Pick-Up Truck Bed Bike Rack Review - 2014 Ram 2500- Video
Today on our 2014 Ram 2500, we'll be test fitting the Swagman Pickup Truck Bed Mounted Two Bike Rack, part number S64702. We'll begin our test fit by placing one end of the bike rack onto the drivers side bed rail, just to give us an idea of how wide we need to make the bike rack. Now the other end of the bike rack doesn't reach the passenger side bed rail, so we'll need to push in the silver button and telescope the bike rack outward. You'll need it make it a little bit wider than the width of the bed. With the one end of the bike rack on the drivers side, we'll take the other end at the passenger side and insert the other end at an angle on the passenger side bed rail. We'll then push the pad up onto the bed rail making sure the bike rack is perpendicular to the bed rails of our pickup. Now that's nice and snug, we're ready to load up our bike. We'll need to double check to make our skewer is loose and the forks of our bike can slide down onto it. more
