Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad for Full-Size Trucks - Up to 7 Bikes - 53" Wide
Tracking order was detailed and exacting. I've not seen that with any other company. I put the tailgate pad on my new 2021 Honda Ridgeline, then tried an electric bike on it. It works perfectly and protects both the bike and the truck tailgate. So far I'm very impressed with the product.
I like it, but wish it fit my 2011 Honda Ridgeline better. It's just a tad wide and I have to get creative in getting the tailgate shut. Will probably sale it this spring to someone who may have a wider tailgate. I really like the Thule brand and the quality of their products.

Thule Hitching Post Pro Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches
Great product for the money. Very sturdy, built well and easy to install. Top bars fold down as well as the entire unit with easy pin removals. Why spend 200 or more dollars on a fancier hitch rack when this one does it all.
After reviewing the wealth of information on different hitch bike carriers I decided to go with a tried and true brand Thule and I am not disappointed. While there are less expensive alternatives, this mid price range rack is extremely well made and I am sure will last a long time. Plus you can’t beat Thule quality. While I just received it, it was easy to assemble and I test fitted on my Honda Ridgeline and it fits securely; no wobble. etrailer’s service and shipping exceed expectations. Ordered at 4:30 PM and received it the next day in Nashville TN at no additional cost.
What our customers are saying:
"Sent out an e-mail to you earlier this week asking which hitch woudld be the best choice for installing on a 2000 Venture van for hauling a bike rack with two bikes. You suggested the one that would be easiest to install..received in a matter of days..installation went great ..very well thought out instructions. Everything went smooothly and the hitch is up nice and snug..doesn't stick out..looks great."
