Kuat Huk Curved Full-Size Truck Tailgate Pad Review - 2021 Ford Ranger- Video

Kuat Huk Curved Full-Size Truck Tailgate Pad Review - 2021 Ford Ranger

Hey, everybody, Cooper here at etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Kuat Huk on our 2021 Ford Ranger. Now, this version of the Huk is going to be considered the mid-size one, but it is going to cover the full length of our tailgate here on our Ranger. Now, the Kuat Huk is going to be a tailgate pad that can accommodate up to five bikes. If you're looking for something to carry around maybe not as many bikes, there is the half pad version, which only covers up maybe about 1/3 of your tailgate, but it can only accommodate up to two bikes. But this version able to accommodate up to five bikes is a really nice thing, especially when you compare it to some of our hitch-mounted bike racks. more

Thule Truck Bed Bike Racks Review - 2019 Ford Ranger

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

Thule Truck Bed Bike Racks Review - 2006 Ford Ranger- Video

Thule  Truck Bed Bike Racks Review - 2006 Ford Ranger

Today on our 2006 Ford Ranger we're taking a look at the Thule GateMate Tailgate Pad for compact trucks. The part number for that is TH823. The first thing I'm going to do is load this up onto our truck, something to set it on to our tailgate, and because this truck is shorter we won't have to open up the tailgate all the way. We can lift up our flap here with our hook and loop straps, straighten out our strap on this side and we can feed it under between the 2 pieces, and just pull that through. We're going to loosely strap that down just so it stays in place while we fix the other 2 straps. I come over here to this side and do the same thing, pull the strap up through the crack here, now the strap, and lastly the middle, and strapping that down loosely. more

Thule Gate Mate Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack for Compact Trucks Review

Today we're going to review the Thule gate mate pad and bike carrier for compact trucks, part number TH823. This is the 54 inch model designed to be used with compact and mini trucks. The gate mate is an inexpensive way to transport a lot of bikes where you can load and unload quickly. The gate mate is padded all the way around to not only protect your truck, but also protect the bikes that you're carrying. There are two blocks at the top to act as stops to keep your bikes from sliding too far to the lt or to the right. There's a strap that's stitched in to the top of our gate mate that we can use as an anchor point when we're ready to secure our bikes after we load them up. more

Today were going to go over the installation of the Thule Gate Mate Tailgate Pad and Bike Carrier, part number TH823. This is the 54-inch wide pad designed for compact and mini trucks. Well be installing it today on a 2001 Ford Ranger but the installation process would be very similar for any truck of this size. The first thing we need to do is clean the tailgate. We want to make sure that any dirt and debris is off the tailgate so that the pad doesnt rub it into the paint. With the tailgate cleaned well take our pad, open it up and lay it over the tailgate. more
