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.

Always impressed with etrailer. They have an abundance of knowledge and are extremely responsive. Highly recommend!

Excellent reference videos and service. I've ordered twice again already!!
by: Michael08/19/2021
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.

Totally impressed. This thing not only protects my bike but also my truck. Set up was easy, the padding is plentiful, the mesh storage pockets are a huge plus. Really impressed with the quality. Even was able to work around my roll up Lund tonneau with no mods needed.

Solved our problem of how to bring our 6 bikes along with us on long trips. Super easy to load and unload. Very happy with this purchase.

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.

Arrived quicker than expected and with good
updates. Packaging was excellent. Fitted
in 5 minutes, loaded the bikes
on back of truck and hit the road… very pleased.

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.

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!

Excellent experience and fast shipping. Great quality product. Very pleased
by: George 09/27/2021
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.

Awesome bike transport. I did not want a truck hitch type so this was a great easy option. Took less than 5 minutes to install and the bikes were certainly secure during transport.
by: Joe08/01/2021
The package was delivered on time and fit my Ram 3500 perfectly. The team at etrailer kept you informed every step of the process from order confirmation to shipping confirmation and delivery confirmation. You can't ask for better communication than that.
by: R. Lewis07/25/2021
As always, EXCELLENT FAST shipping from etrailer. put this on 2011 silverado, for an aventon ebike and a regular bike, works great, no issues.
by: Greg B07/25/2020
Love it, bikes aren't in a pile in the back of the truck.
by: Jane08/05/2021
My husband was looking for something easier to haul the bikes around. Much easier to put on and off to take the truck thru the car wash. This way the truck is protected from getting scratched by the bikes. Thanks

- Will the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad Fit a 2019 GMC Sierra 1500Yes, the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad part # TH824PRO which is an excellent option to carry bikes inside a truck bed without worrying about them flopping around damaging both the truck and bikes will fit a 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 (All Models) just fine. The Thule GateMate Pro is super easy to install and it folds up nicely for storage. It's also very universal so you can bring it with you on your new truck when the time comes.
view full answer... - 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... - Bike Rack Recommendation For 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 Towing R-Pod 190 Travel TrailerI have a solution for you, but the Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers # LC429756 is intended to be used with trailer jacks that have a front mounted crank on the jack, so your top crank trailer jack would not be able to function with this bike rack attached. Granted, the instances where your trailer jack battery would die are limited, I'd still like to provide an alternative solution if you wanted to go that route. Instead of the Jack-It, and because using a dual hitch receiver reduces...
view full answer... - Can Thule GateMate Pro be Used to Carry Fat Tire e-BikesThe Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad # TH824PRO will fit your 2016 Toyota Tundra and really just adds some padding to your tailgate and a way to keep your bikes from bouncing around your truck bed. 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 2014 Ram Truck with RamboxesThe Thule Insta-Gater Pro bike rack, you mentioned, part # TH93VR would be compatible with your truck bed. The rack needs a footprint of about 20 inches, so if you had 50-1/2 inches of tailgate available, you could use two racks side by side. The Thule GateMate Pro, part # TH824PRO would also be a good, inexpensive option. The Ramboxes would prevent you from using any bike rack meant to attach to the side rails, like part # S64701as there would be no place to attach the rack. You can...
view full answer... - Can Thule GateMate Fit 2021 Ram 1500 with Access Vanish TonneauThere would be enough clearance for the Thule GateMate part # TH824PRO to fit on your 2021 Ram 1500 with the Access Vanish tonneau you have to not interfere with the rail kit.
view full answer... - 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...
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... - 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.

- 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... - 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.

These are shown on the linked page. The bar-style racks like the Topline # UG2500-4 cannot be used on your truck but the linked article addresses the various types of truck bed bike racks we offer and this may be helpful to you. Most of the options for your Ram 2500 are the fork-block type like # HRT970 and # RKY1096 but we also have tailgate pad carriers such as the Softride Shuttle...

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...

- 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... - Truck Bed Bike Rack for a 2013 Ram 1500Yes, the Thule GateMate Pro # TH824PRO is a great option for your 2013 Dodge Ram 1500. The front wheels of the bikes will rest over the tailgate. The truck is protected by the Gate Mate and the bikes will secure to it. I have linked a video showing the Gate Mate on a 2013 Ram for you.
view full answer... - Will Inno Truck Bed Bike Carrier Fit 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with Roll-Up Tonneau CoverThe Inno Velo Gripper part # INRT201 installs where the tonneau cover rails are installed so it will not fit with the rails. You could still carry bikes in the bed of your Silverado using the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad for Full-Size Trucks - Up to 8 Bikes - 60" Wide Item # TH824PRO.
view full answer... - Will Thule Gate Mate Work with Townie Cruiser BikeYes, the Thule Gate Mate Tailgate Pad Bike Rack part # TH824PRO would work just fine with a Townie Cruiser bike. I attached an install video that shows the rack installed on a Ram truck for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Will Using the Thule GateMate Pro Truck Bed Bike Carrier Block a Backup CameraIf the backup camera is housed in the tailgate handle then you would have to hold open the flap on the Thule GateMate Pro # TH824PROso it isn't blocking the camera's view. You could tuck it under a strap above it temporarily as needed. We have a lot of truck bed bike rack options, see link. If you can tell me the year, make, and model of the truck and how many bikes you want to carry I can make some specific recommendations.
view full answer... - Truck Bed Roof Rack Recommendation for 2019 Ram 3500 with Ram BoxesFor your 2019 Ram 3500 that has the Ram Boxes you'd want the Thule Gate Mate part # TH824PRO which fits over the rear tailgate and gives you a place to mount a couple bikes. The other styles of bike racks that would clamp to a bed rail cannot be used with your truck due to the Ram Boxes.

- Which Tailgate Pad Bike Rack Fits a 2007 Ford Explorer Sport TracThe Softride Tailgate Pad, # SR26461, for mid size trucks is probably going to be the best option. It measures 54 inches long so compare that to the tailgate on your 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac to determine fit. The model for a full size truck, # SR26457, is 61 inches long. Thule also has a similar product, # TH823PRO for a 54 inch or # TH824PRO for a 62 inch. All of these items work in basically the same way. They fit over the tailgate, have a flap for the tailgate handle. They strap...
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... - Tailgate Pad Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2015 Ram 1500Personally I like the Softride Shuttle Pad # SR26457 more than the Thule Gate Mate part # TH824PRO because it has the loops that allow a bike to easily be secured to the pad. Thule doesn't have the straps to secure the bikes to the pad, and most likely they wouldn't be necessary. But for added peace of mind I prefer the Softride. I attached review videos for both racks for you to check out.
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...

Great bike rack! We haul 4 bikes with it and it still leaves plenty of room in the bed of the truck for camp gear
