Great material, inside smooth will not scratch the tailgate. Easy install. I ordered for full size, truck however if I had to do it again I would choose smaller width. I have rails mounted to the inside of bed for a bed cover. The gate mate really fits snug, having to slam the gate to lock. Depending style of bike the down tube may not snug tight. Yes I would buy again. Good price.

Still using and working great. My only issue is installation is a bit tricky, which does sometimes mean I dont bother to use if were not certain to need the bikes. Ultimately though its worth the effort and solved our problem.

Overall this is a great option for a quickly installed and secure way to haul bicycles in a pick-up truck. One thing I did not consider was the fact I had a tonneau cover on my 2016 Ford F-150 from Gator. The rails for the cover overlap into the bed of the truck an inch and a half, but the Thule tailgate pad is flexible enough to work under the rails to get the tailgate closed. Installation takes 10 minutes alone and 5 with help. Great product and great support from eTrailer.com!

This tailgate mat works great, i have no issue with bikes moving while driving. I use it for several different frame sizes from med frame road bikes to large frame fat tires and an XL 29er. It holds them all without a problem. The soft material has caused no scratching to my tailgate and those who say it will dont wash their truck. Service and delivery from etrailer was quick and competitively priced as usual. I have recommended and would buy again.

etrailer has been great in the past and I will order from them again. This experience was mediocre because they advertised free 3 day shipping through a google search for this product. After paying I was notified that it would take longer. I needed the gate mate for a weekend trip and could have gotten it through [online vendor] for the same price, quicker. Not a big deal, just be aware.

Bit of a pain to lift bikes onto the tailgate but for someone who regularly transports 4-6 bikes from hone to the campsite, this thing is perfect. It claims you can do 8 bikes but it would be very difficult to get bike 7 and 8 into the truck.
If you need to live 6 bikes about this is the best solution I have found.

works as advertised. I would have bought the 6 bike size if I could do it again. You have to be careful not to catch the edges of the fabric in the tailgate when you close with the 8 bike size. Very happy with the purchase overall!

- Thule Truck Rack Options Compatible with 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 TruXedo Sentry CT Tonneau CoverYou can use the Thule Insta-Gator Pro # TH93VR and GateMate Pro # TH824PRO with the TruXedo Sentry CT Hard Tonneau Cover # TX1573316 installed on your 2021 GMC Sierra 2500 6-3/4' bed. If you just need to transport 1 bike then the Insta-Gator is my bike rack of choice simply because it's nicer and holds the bike a bike more secure and it has a lock. For multiple bikes use the GateMate Pro though. This is a pad that sits over your tailgate and allows you to carry up to 8 bikes depending...
view full answer... - Truck Bed Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2012 Ford F-150 with Tonneau CoverMost truck tonneau covers have rails that will interfere with an item like the Swagman truck bed bike rack # S64702. The L-shaped brackets on either end need to set directly against the bed rails. If anything is in the way you will not be able to use this particular bike rack. But not to worry, there are other options. Another option is the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack, # TH824PRO . Bascially it is a mat that goes over the tailgate to protect it and you can attach bikes...
view full answer... - Is There A Clamp On Style Bike Rack For My 2024 Ram Towing An Airstream? Hey Ray, I do not see a clamp on style bike rack for 2-1/2" hitches that we carry. I tried to see if there was an adapter but came up short. I am not sure what all you carry in your truck when pulling that trailer but you could use something like a truck bed bike rack/pad. Thule has a tailgate pad, # TH824PRO, that simply drapes over your tailgate and allows you to attach bikes that way eliminating the need of a rack entirely. It would of course take away some of your bed space but...
view full answer... - Can the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad for Full-Size Trucks Be Used When Towing a Travel Trailer?It sure can Darla. The Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad item # TH824PRO is not going to interfere with towing your travel trailer. The wheels on your e-bikes will drape right over the pad like the picture attached below. You'll still have plenty of clearance to turn your trailer. What kind of e-bikes do you have?

view full answer... - Is There a 55" Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad?Hey Nancy! I've got the 53" wide Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad item # TH823PRO that will work. It's got the same features as the 8 Bikes item # TH824PRO but it's just a few inches short. The straps will install the same way beneath your Silverado's tailgate and they are long enough. That's great to hear! Glad you're enjoying the Sport Rider SE2 bike rack. What kind of e-bikes do you have?

view full answer... - Will the Thule Insta-Gater Work On a Bike with FendersI do have a few other options for you but the Thule Insta-Gater Truck Bed Single Bike Rack part # TH93VR will not work with bikes that have fenders. Instead, you can use the Inno Velo Gripper Bike Rack for Truck Beds part # INRT201 depending on the weight of your bike but these are the only truck bed mounted options that will work for your bike without removing the wheel. Please note, if you have RamBoxes then your best and really only option for the truck bed would be the Thule GateMate...

- Thule Truck Bed Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack That Fits 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500We do have a Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack that fits a 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500, though it is a different one than you mentioned. The correct fit for a 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 is the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack # TH824PRO. I have added some photos showing this on a '19 Silverado 1500 as well as a link to a video review showing it in use on this same truck.

- Wile Thule TH824PRO GateMate PRO Affect Turning Radius While Towing a TrailerIf you check out the video I've linked for you, you can see that when the bikes install, the front bike wheels are carried at an angle, so that the front bike wheels aren't taking up very much room at all between the tailgate and where the trailer would sit. The tires wouldn't extend past the rear surface of the tailgate by more than a foot, which would in no way impede your trailer turning radius. You'll see what I mean when you view the video. The Thule GateMate PRO is a pretty innovative...

Basically as long as your e-Bikes can fit over your tailgate this pad will work for you! The only place where the bikes are secured at is along the top of the tailgate where the frame of the bike will be making contact (see attached photo). The hook and loop fasteners and be moved along the width...

- Recommended Truck Bed Bike Rack for Rad Power RadRover E-BikesIn order to carry two Rad Power RadRover E-Bikes in a truck bed, I recommend going with the Topline 2 Bike Carrier Truck Bed Mounted Expandable Bike Rack part # UG2500 because it does not suspend the bikes therefore heavy e-bike won't be an issue, it has locks for security, and you can add to it if needed to carry more bikes. The only potential issue is if you have the version with step-through frame in which case you'd also need the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # 64005. Please...
view full answer... - Can Brush Guard be Used With Front Hitch Receiver on 2016 Ford F-250 Super DutyI can understand not wanting to remove the brush guard on your 2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty, but unfortunately there are no front mounted hitches that can fit with the guard, because like you said, they do mount in the same location. There are also not any brush guards with a receiver built in, likely because there wouldn't be enough support at the receiver location. So if you do wind up going with a front-mounted hitch on your '16 F-250 you would need to remove the brush guard to install...
view full answer... - Carrying Heavy E-Bikes in Truck Bed of 2022 Ford F-150Hey Jeff; thanks for the question and there is really just one option to carry your heavy ebikes in the bed of your 2022 Ford F-150, and that's with a tailgate pad bike rack: - Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad for Full-Size Trucks # TH824PRO All other truck bed racks have weight limits which your 75 lb bikes far exceed, which is why the pad is the only way to haul the bikes. It does have soft foam padding for cushioning your bikes and straps to prevent them from moving as you travel.
view full answer... - Can Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Bike Rack Be used with 75 lb E-Bikes with Fat TiresThe Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad for Full-Size Trucks # TH824PRO that you referenced does not have a weight capacity or a tire width limit so it would easily work great with a 75 lb e-bike with 4-inch wide fat tires.
view full answer... - Can the 2017 Ram 1500 Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad be Used for an E-BikeThe Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad # TH824PRO is a universal product and can essentially be used with any style of bike. The main purposes of this pad is to protect your tailgate and bikes from scratches while also adding some straps to keep your bike(s) from bouncing around in your truck bed. It doesn't have a weight capacity since the truck bed will be supporting the weight of your bike(s). With that being said, e-bikes tend to be more of a premium bike so if you'd like something a...
view full answer... - Recommended Truck Bed Bike Rack for 2019 Ram 1500 with RamBoxI do have some great options for you, however the Inno Velo Gripper Bike Rack # INRT201 that you referenced will not work on your 2019 Ram 1500 that's equipped with the RamBox storage system. It simply won't have the mounting area required for this to clamp around. Since you have the RamBoxes you will need to go with a carrier that actually bolts to the bed floor or attaches to the channel rails (instead of utilize the side rails) or use a tailgate pad like the Thule GateMate # TH824PRO....
view full answer... - How Far Out Does the Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender # MPG907 ExtendOn the Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender # MPG907 the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest edge on the carrier is 53 inches. So to the nearest part of the up right it will be approximately 51 inches. By my calculations your 10 foot, 5 inch kayaks will overhang the bed by 41 inches. That means if you were to slide the kayaks all the way in the upright on this carrier would still be about 10 inches away. All of the similar extenders are a bit too long...
view full answer... - How Tight Should Straps of Thule GateMate Pro be On TailgateThule does not specify a tightness for the straps of the Thule GateMate Pro # TH823PRO on trucks like your 2019 Honda Ridgeline as that's hard to do given the nature of the strap setup but what you'll want to do is tighten them snugly by hand using your best judgment. There are two sizes for this rack though and you should make sure you don't have the larger # TH824PRO which wouldn't fit your tailgate well and might be why you'd have issues tightening it down. I attached a review video...
view full answer... - Will the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad Work With a Truck Bed CoverThe Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad part # TH824PRO is an excellent option for a 2002 Toyota Tundra. In regards to compatibility with a truck bed cover, you'd need to have the cover folded up or rolled back when using the tailgate pad. The cover would not be able to folded/rolled shut with the tailgate pad in place. That said, you could easily store the tailgate pad in the truck bed while not in use.
view full answer... - Best Tailgate Pad For Carrying Bikes In Bed of a 2024 Ford F-150I recommend the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad # TH824PRO as the best option for your 2024 Ford F-150. This pad can carry up to 8 bikes and uses a foam padding to protect the paint of your tailgate from damage.

We have the Swagman part # S64702 for one that clamps between the bed rails and has fork mounted bike racks on a beam that runs between the rails. We have the Thule Insta Gator part # TH93VR which mounts to the truck bed floor and clamps the front bike wheel. We have the Saris part # SATR1BLK for a simpler fork mount that mounts to the truck floor and we also have bike rack pads that mount to the truck tailgate as well...
view full answer... - Which Thule GateMate Fits 2019 Ford RangerThe size of GateMate Pro that Thule recommends for your 2019 Ford Ranger is the part # TH823PRO which is 7 inches shorter than the # TH824PRO that tis 60 inches long and for full size trucks. We don't have a great way to fit the longer version as it would over hang quite a bit.
view full answer... - Recommended Tailgate Bike Pad for 2019 Ram 1500The Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad for Full-Size Trucks part # TH824PRO is what I recommend for a 2019 Ram 1500. It can hold up to 8 bikes, it has a cutout for the handle and or backup camera, and the protective pads underneath will ensure there are no scratches to the paint. In regards to the tonneau cover, there should be no issues with it rolled up/retracted.

The great thing about the GateMate is that the hook and loop straps are 16 inches long overall and would allow you to carry thicker frame bikes; they can also be slid up and down to allow some flexibility in where you can put the straps on the bike. The straps on the GateMate Pro would...
