Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Toyota Tacoma, we're gonna be test-fitting the Rocky Mounts low ball bike rack for truck bed factory track systems, part number RKY1097. The Rocky Mounts low ball allows you to carry up to one or a few bikes in the bed of your Tacoma because it utilizes the track system on the inside to attach it. It simply clamps into place and into the channels here and tightens down with two screws, and does come with a tool to tighten those down. It tightens into place with our skewer mount here, so basically what this does is it works with quick-release wheels, but it also has a lock on the end of it, so once you attach it then it is secure to our mount here. However, it does have enough space in between here to place a cable lock through as well, which you can purchase on etrailer.com.While it does work with quick-release skewers, there is an adapter to use this with through axles, which you can find on etrailer.com as well. Another bonus about this bike rack is the fact that you can move it along the track at any point as long as the bike still fits, so it does have some maneuverability, and it also provides enough space for you to store other items while you're traveling.
When comparing this to other similar style bike racks, one that comes up is gonna be the Swagman impact bike rack. Like the low ball, they both mount inside the track system of your Tacoma. However, with the Swagman impact, there are a few differences. For one thing, it does work with the quick-release skewer, like our low ball. However, it also comes with the attachments to be able to use this with through axle forks as well, which is a little bit more of an upgrade from the low ball.Now that we've gone over some of the features of the bike rack, let's go ahead and show you how it installs.
It's a very simple and easy install. You have the actual mount here with our two metal brackets and screws, which are gonna slide in to our deck rail system. And of course we have the skewer, which at the moment is unscrewed. So we'll first take our mount portion and install it into our deck rails. We'll start off by removing the end cap here, which just pushes in and slides right out.
Now we'll take our mount and we'll slide it into the track like so. Now with this done, we can reinstall our end cap like so. So we'll take our included tool, insert it into the bolt, and tighten it down. With that tightened down, our mount's not going anywhere, we can take our skewer mount here, place it in, screw it together, and then we can grab our bike and install it into our truck bed.Set the forks down onto our skewer mount, tighten it up until it's nice and snug and not gonna go anywhere. And then we can lock it up and we're ready to go.
And there you have it for the Rocky Mounts low ball bike rack for truck bed factory track systems on our 2018 Toyota Tacoma.

Excellent product. Easy to install with clear instructions. Very solid build. Bike front fork fits smoothly and tightens firmly in place. I trusted my $2800 tri bike to and from Ironman Florida from TX. Very satisfied! 107300
Hi Patrick, thanks for checking in. Yea, the bike mounts are still hanging tough. I dont use it constantly, but anytime I need to safely transport my tri bike, the bike mounts do the job. So thanks for the follow up.
Loren S - 11/17/2014The mounts bolted right in, are solid and work perfectly! 334050
The mounts are still working well, i did break one of the locking assemblies but i have to overtighten to hold the adapters shown in the pictures. Otherwise a good product!
JohnnyG - 01/30/2018This product looks great! Great quality! and Fits Great!! just as described and took literally 3 minutes to install on my 2006 Tacoma's bed rail. Excellent product. This is my second purchase from etrailer and will be back for a hitch, harness, and scooter rack. I uploaded a picture of installed product. THANKS!! 32907

Excellent product, installed easily and works great. Had a minor problem with some hardware but the customer service was fantastic and the shipped out a new part immediately. I'll be buying another one. 705205
This is an excellent product that is priced right. It installs easily and instructions provided are easy to follow. Another plus is the video showing how the product works and a visual of installation. Great buy! 699021
Simple but elegant design that works very well. 695536
Very happy- looks good and is easy to u se! 665155
The rail is already in place on my 2018 Tacoma. The biggest attribute is that it fits and lockable without question. 650758
Good product, easy installation on my T acoma 599446
great product 5 stars 579812
Great quality product, great quick service, easy and fast install, and great follow up! Good work! 569435
I really like the ease of insulation. I is a great way to transport my bike and I know it is secure and stable. 569386
Great product 562696
This Rocky Mount lock is easy to defeat and fails to lock sometimes but the mount looks nice and secures the bike well. Avoid the locking model and get the basic mount, then loop a reliable cable-lock through it and your bike when necessary. 562464
I attached the RKY1097 immediately after receiving it in the mail and set one of my bikes on it to see how it fit. As of yet I have not had time to actually transport the bike using the devise. I am thinking of buying another to transport two bikes on my pickup truck. 557928
So far, so good! The RockyMounts LoBall Bike Rack was delivered right on time. I was informed of the delivery date and the communication from the company has been excellent. It is obvious that they care about excellent customer service. The rack was packed well and came with easy to understand directions. There are also good installation videos available online. It was a breeze to install in my 2008 Toyota Tacoma! I connected the bike and it is secure. I like the locking mechanism that came with two keys. So far, I am very pleased with this rack! The lifetime warranty is a comfort, too. 518171
Absolutely LOVE my bike rack after one year. It holds my racing bike securely by the front fork. Its quick and easy to attach and remove my bike. The lock works well, too. It was super-easy to install on the front rail of my Toyota Tacomas truck bed. Its an awesome little rack!
Dave - 06/06/2019It was easy to install and it's easy to use. 517036
I had made back rail for my tundra. Bike rack went on smoothly. No problems. I like one key opens all three of them. Thanks 503803
This works great! Well made. I would highly recommend it. 482948
This product is awesome!!! The perfect way to carry bikes in a truck. Slides in the railing system inside the bed of my Toyota Tundra perfectly. Takes two minutes to install and holds the bike fork very snugly AND you can lock the bike securely once loaded. I have one on each side for when my wife goes, you could easily put four-six of these in a truck bed. Gave it five stars cause ten wasn't an option! 473459
Worked perfectly. My wife has an electric bike which is heavy stayed tight for 1900 miles as well did my not near heavy mountain bike. Would buy again if needed. 472637
Perfect solution to my road bike carrier needs. Fits my 2010 Tacoma rails like glove, and I didn’t have to drill or spend $300-$500 on a complex rack system. Three times I’ve been asked by strangers if they can take a look at the rig and see what I’m using. 451543
Love it! Great product, so happy we found it. 435831
This is very great tool for securing a single bike to a Toyota Tacoma bed. Since I have the quad cab and I don't like having the tail bed down it secures really well with the tie down rails of the truck. Once its secured my bike won't budge even driving some unimproved roads. 433049
Shipping was very fast. The bike rack worked perfect. Easy to install. Holds the bike very secure, even over rough roads. Would definitely recommend. 432184
Bike rack works great. Easy install, very durable, hardly know its there. Definitely would recommend for anyone looking for a truck bed rack.
Tom B - 10/04/2018I bought (2) of these for my 2016 Tacoma and they are perfect! I spent many hours trying to devise a way to create what this already has in terms of bike transport in the short 5' bed of a Tacoma (I use it to place across the width of the bed, not the length toward the tailgate) This works with the built in rail/track system already in my bed. Honestly, I can't say enough about this product. Super easy to install, and super easy to use with the bikes. 429506
Product was as expected. I ordered two and was pleased to find that they arrived keyed alike, even though I neglected to ask for them that way. Would order from etrailer again. 411865
Work great use on Tacoma factory rails 381042
Mount worked great for about 3 months then the cam mechanism started to bind. Can't latch anymore. Makes a great paperweight now. I would not recommend this mount. 364024
Great product. Solid as a rock and super easy to install on the back rack of my 2013 Tacoma TRD. You wont be disappointed. 333073
A perfect fit for bed track bar of 2017 Nissan Frontier. I bought pair of these locks and they mounted easily. They held two bikes upright and in place, locking mechanism is good. These are so much better than hitch mount bike racks. 323149
Great bike mounts! They fit my 2017 Nissan Frontier truck bed tracking system perfectly.
Joe S - 12/07/2017The mount is exactly as described. I have a 2014 Tundra and it installed in roughly 10 minutes. As seen in another review, I also used LocTite and tamper-proof Torx head bolts to add more security but this was only a few dollars. The ride hight and ease of use is fantastic. If my vehicle choice ever changes, the RockyMount will be my first stop for a bike mount. Absolutely fantastic product quality and service. 302505
The design is simple yet efficient and the entire thing is built like a tank. I put it on my 2016 Tacoma and it works like a charm. I would surely recommend to anyone. 293330
The RockyMounts LoBalk rack works perfectly on my 2011 Toyota Tacoma. Installation only took 5 minutes. As shown on the etrailer.com review video, the bikes don't move even on rougher roads. Well worth the money. 285963
Great product. Exactly what I needed for my Frontier Utilitrac system. The bikes are secure and safe so I can go anywhere without worry. I recommend this to everyone. Thank you. 285924
I spent several weeks looking for a specific device that would tie into my Tacoma tie-down system in the bed of my truck. I knew exactly what I was looking for and it did not seem to exist, to the point where I was considering making something myself. One last look brought me to the etrailer site, where I found exactly what I was I was looking for. This RockyMounts LoBall Bike Rack system keeps my road bike firmly mounted in the back of my truck whatever the road conditions. To top it off, the bike rack was available for a lower price than I would have been able to put something together myself and it certainly looks better than anything I could have thrown together. Excellent product. 263092
Unbelievably fast shipping. Will do business again 253810
Awesome product! I've been using Thule roof racks on my old Mazda 3 hatch for years and loved the security it provided when transporting my bikes. Now that I have a Nissan Frontier, I was looking for that same security in the bed of the truck. This is exactly what I needed! This kit utilizes the utilitrack system installed in the bed. It took 5 minutes to install. Great product. HIGHLY recommend. 251548
Product installed super easy. Looks to be very sturdy. I hooked up my bike and gave it a shake white no budging. I am sure I will get my monies worth. The reason I did not give it a perfect rating is there were no keys in the box, other than that it is awesome. 240226
Great product and got to our home quickly after we placed the order. 230214
love it! fairly easy to install and works great! 228452
Fast shipping, very pleased with the quality and overall ease of installation. 225184
QUALITY PRODUCT 223967
Impressed with how beefy the mounts are. Installs in minutes. Shipping was super fast. I will be doing business with etrailer again. 220467
This is very well built. Top quality! 213047
Great Product easy to mount. One issue is with depth of track on 2010 Tacoma, the cap screws were almost too short. Other than that great. 211499
Great looking item and looking forward to installing it and using it with my bicycle. It would have been so much better if a KEY had been included with the lockable device. 207897
I received my product in outstanding condition in about a week using regular mail. I was very impressed with the quality of the RockyMounts Clutch SD Truck Bed Rail Bike Carrier. It fit like a glove to my 2014 Nissan Frontier cargo bed rail. With the way it is made, I'm sure it will last for years. 202360
