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

Love it, bikes aren't in a pile in the back of the truck.

Excellent reference videos and service. I've ordered twice again already!!

Great customer service!

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:

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:

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.



by:

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:

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



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

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!

  • Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack For 2019 Ram 1500 With RamBox
    There are tailgate bike rack pads that are compatible with the 2019 Ram 1500 with RamBox but the Yakima Tailgate Pad Y07411 is not a fit because of the way it attaches. I recommend the Thule 53" GateMate Pro part # TH823PRO for the 2019 1500 with RamBox. Thule has confirmed their tailgate pad to fit with the RamBox.

  • Will the Inno Velo Gripper Bike Rack for Truck Beds Work with a Tonneau Cover
    The Inno Velo Gripper Bike Rack for Truck Beds part # INRT202 hooks onto the lip of the bed rail so it won't work with any tonneau cover that uses rails which affix to the bed (even with cover folded/rolled up) which is most tonneau covers. That said, I do have another option for you that is better and easier to use, the Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Rack part # TH93VR which secures between the tailgate and bed so it won't interfere with a tonneau cover. It has locks for security...

  • Can Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad Bike Rack # TH823PRO Be Used with E-Bikes
    Hey Steve, the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad for Mid-Size Trucks # TH823PRO can be used with e-bikes. Unlike other styles of bike rack that support the weight of the bikes this is just a pad that allows the tailgate to support the weight of the bikes so it doesn't have that same fit exclusion/inclusion info for use with e-bikes that other racks styles do.

  • Best Option For Tailgate Pad Style Bike Holder For Full Size Trucks
    Good question Jay. I also have a 2016 Silverado 1500, but I will admit to not having used one of these yet. However, I did fairly recently get myself a bike and have been looking into them. The Thule GateMate Pro # TH823PRO will technically fit our full size trucks, but it will not cover the tailgate as well as the ones specifically designed for them, like the Softride Shuttle Pad # SR26457 (which is 61" wide). The GateMate Pro is 53" wide so there would be a bit of the tailgate exposed...

  • Thule Truck Bed Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack That Fits 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
    We 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.

  • Can I Use the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad w/ an E Bike?
    Yes, the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad for Full-Size Trucks - Up to 7 Bikes - 53" Wide item # TH823PRO will work with electric bikes. I have linked a review video below that one of our technicians recently did, on a 2020 Ford Ranger, that will show you how this product will look and function.

  • Recommended Tailgate Pad For a 2021 Ram 2500 with RamBox
    There are a number of tailgate pads that are confirmed to fit your 2021 Ram 2500 with RamBox, including the Swagman Tailwhip Tailgate Pad # S64761 you were looking at. The Swagman Tailwhip Tailgate Pad # S64761 is 54" wide and can accommodate up to 4 bikes, but it was designed for mid-size trucks. This will still work for your Ram, as it only slightly impacts the use. It does not extend quite as far down the tailgate, which could cause some more tire rub on the tailgate. Personally I...

  • Options For Carrying Two 70LB E-Bikes on a 2018 Ford F-150
    The 35lb weight calculation for the Swagman Patrol 2 Bike Rack # S64701 is based on the weight of the bike connected to the rack. So this will be the weight of the bike minus the front wheels. It is not going to work for your two 70lb E-bikes. Instead you will want to consider either a Tailgate Pad # TH823PRO or hitch mounted bike rack like the Sport Rider # HLY84FR due to the weight of your bikes. If you are hauling a trailer you can consider adding a front mounted Receiver # C31083...

  • How to Secure Bikes in the Bed of a 2019 Honda Ridgeline without Drilling Into Truck Bed
    If you want to avoid modifying the bed of your brand new 2019 Honda Ridgeline then I recommend going with the Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Carrier # HRT970 because you can wedge some lumber in the bed of your pickup and then bolt this carrier on it (see attached photo). This comes with a 9mm quick-release skewer and is small enough that you can mount multiple bikes next to each other depending on their sizes. If you would rather keep the front wheels on your bikes then another great...

  • Can Thule Insta-Gater Pro Fit 2017 Honda Ridgeline
    Thule has truck bed bike racks that fit your 2017 Honda Ridgeline like with the GateMate part # TH823PRO and the fork mounted # TH821 but the Insta-Gater has not been confirmed as a fit from them. Looking at how it installs though I do not see how it would be an issue so I would say that it would fit and work just fine.

  • How to Lock Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad to Truck While Out on a Ride
    I recommend using a cable lock like the 10' Cable Lock # e98891 to secure the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad # TH823PRO while you are out on your ride. The 10' length should be enough for you to thread the cable through the opening for the tailgate handle on the GateMate Pro and then down the inside portion of your handle over to a tie-down hook. If you plan on using the GateMate Pro often and would like a cable lock that you don't have to keep track of then I recommend the ToyLok Stake...

  • Will the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack Really Fit a 2019 Honda Ridgeline
    Yes, I can confirm the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack part # TH823PRO is a fit for a 2019 Honda Ridgeline. In fact, we even tested the older Thule GateMate Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack on this model which was the same size and I have attached that video for you. I would be a bit caution of looking for measurements online as you never really know where they are taken. That said, I appreciate you doing your own research but there is no need to worry about this one as the Thule...

  • How Far Out Does the Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender # MPG907 Extend
    On 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...

  • Tailgate Pad For Carrying Bikes With a 2022 Honda Ridgeline and Dual-Action Tailgate
    I can only recommend using the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad # TH823PRO as it has been confirmed to work with the Dual-Action Tailgate on your 2022 Honda Ridgeline. The Yakima GateKeeper Tailgate Pad has not been confirmed to fit your Ridgeline.

  • How To Carry 80 Lb E-Bike In Truck Bed of 2016 Toyota Tacoma with Deck Rail System
    The Inno Velo Gripper Bike Rack for Truck Beds part # INRT202 has a weight capacity of 33 lbs so it would not work with an 80 lb e-bike unless the battery was removed. Instead, for a 2016 Toyota Tacoma with deck rail system I recommend the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack for Compact Trucks part # TH823PRO. The tailgate pad is really the only option save for a hitch mounted bike rack due to the weight of the bike.

  • Recommended Truck Bed Bike Rack for a 2015 GMC Canyon with OEM Vinyl Roll-Up Tonneau Cover
    I have a solution for you but the Swagman # S64702, will not work with a OEM soft tonneau cover. I would instead recommend the Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Rack # TH93VR or a truck tailgate pad like the Thule # TH823PRO. Due to the mounting design of the OEM soft roll-up tonneau cover, you would not be able to mount the Swagman Bike bar. It would need to supported by a flat support on both the top and the inner side of the bed rail, see attached image, and most soft tonneaus...

  • Will Thule GateMate Pro Fit a 2017 Honda Ridgeline and is it Waterproof
    Yes, the 53" Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad # TH823PRO will fit your 2017 Honda Ridgeline. The top part of this pad is definitely waterproof. It feels like a heavy duty vinyl and it is very durable. The underside has a soft fabric that is designed to keep the finish on your truck from getting damaged. If you were to drive in a rainstorm with this on the pickup then that would definitely soak up water and you'd want to take it off and let it air dry. So the GateMate isn't necessarily...

  • Use of Thule GateMate # TH823PRO with Electric Bikes
    Absolutely! The Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad for Full-Size Trucks # TH823PRO can accommodate e-bikes. There is no maximum weight capacity of the pad itself, but you do not want to exceed the weight capacity of your truck's tailgate.

  • What Length of Cable Lock to Use with Thule GateMate Tailgate Bike Rack

  • Will The Thule GateMate Allow For Use With 55LB E-Bike Having Removable Battery in Front Frame Tube?
    With the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad # TH823PRO there is no reason you could not use this to haul your Trek Verve+ 3 e-bike on your Honda Ridgeline. I would always be sure to remove the battery to prevent damage while being hauled. Remember the frame on your bike is providing the structural strength for the bike and the battery does not provide structural integrity to the frame. Personally, I feel using a hitch rack like the Yakima OnRamp # Y36FR is a much better solution. This will...

  • How Tight Should Straps of Thule GateMate Pro be On Tailgate
    Thule 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.

  • Can the Thule Gate Mate Pro Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack be Used with Electric Bikes
    I spoke to my contact at Thule about the Thule Gate Mate Pro Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack part # TH823PRO. They do not list a specific per bike weight capacity for the tailgate pad as the full weight of the bikes will never be placed directly onto it but you should not have any issues using it to haul your two 60 lb electric bikes. I would however use some additional straps such as the Thule Load Strap Cinch Straps part # TH521 to help support the bikes.
