Yakima GateKeeper Tailgate Pad Review - 2022 Chevrolet Colorado- Video

How's it going neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com, and we're taking a look at the Yakima Gatekeeper, on the back of a 2022 Chevrolet Colorado. Let's check it out. So the Gatekeeper is gonna be a five bike carrier, having the five cradles that you're gonna strap your bike down to, to keep it in position. So, officially, what you're gonna do, to attach your bike, you're gonna hook that one end of your cradle to the other, and this is all padded, and then you'll be able to make your adjustment, as far as how tight you would like it to stabilize your bike, using your strap. If you have a bike that you wouldn't wanna make contact with your frame, it definitely wouldn't be the best option. However, it's a really good option, as far as moving multiple bikes, using your pickup without a hitch carrier. more

Hi, Matt with Etrailer. Today we're gonna be talking about the Kat Huk full size tailgate pad on the 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500.

Swagman Paramount Full-Size Trucks Tailgate Pad Review - 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500- Video

Hey, it's Ethan from here at etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Swagman Paramount Seven Bike Tailgate Pad for full size trucks on our 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. Might be a good option for you if you're trying to get up to seven bikes where you're needing to go, but maybe you're towing something or you don't want the added length that a bike rack will add from your hitch, this could be a good option for you. The bike is being held by the frame on these hook and loop straps in the back. You can slide them up and down a little bit to adjust. If you do have a carbon frame bike, we recommend not using a tailgate pad or anything that holds onto it by the frame, 'cause it could potentially be damaged while it's driving. more

Swagman Paramount Full-Size Trucks Tailgate Pad Review - 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500- Video

Instructor This is the Swagman Paramount Tailgate Pad and we're gonna be taking a look at it on our 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. So this, in my opinion, is the ultimate way to get bikes to and from your destination if you have a truck, just because we don't have anything in here. So you can put a ball mount on there. I have seen a guy have all of these bikes on here, and haul his camper. I think that's pretty neat, just because there's a lot of bike racks that are gonna work for your hitch but not for the back of a travel trailer. So this is really gonna widen it out so you can really do a lot more with your truck. more
