Cushioned Protection for Your Truck and Bikes

Huk Curved Design

With a 1" thick cushion running the entire length of the pad, the Kuat Huk offers superior protection for your tailgate and bikes. This provides more protection than half tailgate pads that only have cushions only on the front and back sides. And unlike half tailgate pads with thin, notched cushions on the top, the Huk allows for flexible positioning of your bikes so they don't bump into each other.

Video Transcript for Set up: Kuat Huk Half Tailgate Bike Pad for Trucks on a 2022 Toyota Tacoma

How's it going, neighbors This is Ed with etrailer.com, and we're taking a look at the Huk half tailgate pad on the back of our 2022 Toyota Tacoma. The Huk half is a solid bike pad for the back of your truck. It's gonna fall into the more premium category for it. In general, the reason you would select the half is if you just have one or two bikes that you're transporting. Also, if you're wanting to still keep half of the truck bed open for whatever else you may be taking out along with you. The material that it's made out of is TPU, and essentially what that is is a weather resistant, abrasion resistant material that's super soft to the touch that's gonna help keep the bike, you know, keep any damage from your bicycle, as far as scratching.

You wanna definitely make sure when you come off of the trail that your bike is free of debris because these points, like with your nylon straps and buckles here and right underneath here where it makes contact with the pad, you know, if you get dirt in here and you get a little vibration, that can cause micro scratches or scratches. You may notice the gap right here closer to the edge. Once you get closer to the bike, once this is fenced down, you can see around the frame, it actually fills in that negative space and conforms to the shape of the frame. So it helps hold it securely, as well as protecting both the truck bed and the bike frame. On the back of our Huk, you can see we have five contact points to run our straps through, and this is where we're gonna be able to secure our bike using the rear nylon strap.

On this particular model, the Tacoma's bed is gonna align with this first strap where the wheel well is gonna get in the way, so this first position is pretty much unusable. It'll be the same with this one if you we're to move it to the driver's side. But you still have plenty of space to position your bikes where they're not making, where you can minimize the contact. If you have trail bikes or mountain bikes like these guys, they tend to be a little bit wider, have a little bit bigger footprint versus a road bike, that's gonna be a little bit more narrow where you can kind of put 'em closer together. So just things to consider if you're thinking about using a truck pad on your Tacoma.

So we're gonna take a closer look at our carrier. We first remove our bike. We're gonna push up on the retaining clip on our nylon strap and just pull it loose. From there, we are free from our pad and we can park this guy over here and we'll take a look. If you notice, the straps are secured at the bottom using these powder coated G-Hooks.

These guys are gonna be weather resistant and, you know, corrosion resistant as well with that powder coating. One of the cooler things as far as how you install it, instead of trying to fish it the other way, you actually drop it underneath. A lot of the other pads, you actually have to fish it from the underside of the tailgate and try to retrieve it on the back. So this is one of the easier installations as well. So I went with the installation of the Huk on the passenger side to try to keep from blocking out the backup camera. On the Tacoma, it's actually offset to the driver's side of the handle, but you're kind of picking your poison with this where you don't have access to the key slot for your tailgate. If you would prefer to have the key slot available, you can put it on the other side and it'll fit in the same way, but you're just selecting what thing you're gonna block off. One thing to consider as well, if you have your bikes loaded, you can access anything in the bed from over the side, so just consider that. So this is Ed with etrailer.com. Thanks for hanging out with me here checking out the Huk half on the back of the 2022 Toyota Tacoma. Have a great day.

Love this rack! I’m using it with my e-bike and was concerned the straps wouldn’t be long enough for the thick downtube. No problem works like a charm! The thick pads are also in the perfect location.

  • Bike Tailgate Pad For 2 Bikes That Does Not Cover Entire Tailgate
    A tailgate pad for 2 bikes that only covers half the tailgate is indeed something you can get. It is made by Kuat and is technically a half-pad, with the correct part being the following: - Kuat Huk Half Tailgate Bike Pad for Trucks - 2 Bikes # KU49ZR The # KU49ZR is only 25 inches wide, so it won't even take up half the tailgate since most trucks nowadays have tailgates in the 60+ inch range.

  • Rack For Carrying 2 Bikes in Bed of 2020 Ford F-150 With Tonneau Cover Open
    Hey Chris, There are a couple options for you to carry your bikes in the bed of your 2020 Ford F-150 with the tonneau cover open, but the Thule Bed Rider Pro # TH38YC requires the use of the inside of the truck's rails, which is how your roll-up tonneau attaches to your truck. One thing you can do instead is use a couple of the Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Rack # TH93VR. The # TH93VR attaches with set straps that go through your tailgate opening, so you just close your tailgate...

  • Will Kuat Huk Tailgate Pad Bike Rack Fit 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz
    I looked up the tailgate dimensions of your 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz and the Kuat Huk Half Tailgate Pad for Trucks # KU49ZR would fit without issue. The wheel of your bike would hang down lower near the bumper so it's going to fit well enough and the tailgate will be protected adequately as well.
