Swagman Truck Bed Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Fork Mount - 9-mm Skewer
After one year of using our swagman, we are very happy. We own RAM 1500 with ram boxes and mounted the swagman at the back end of the bed. We mounted the skewers on the bottom side of the bar, to mount the bar upside down. This let the end brackets mount perfectly on the side walls just in front of the end gate. Our bikes when mounted face the rear. Works great!
This rack fits and functions perfectly in my 2018 Ram Rebel. I have the Ram Box cargo management system and I set it up as recommended and it was great! Then I reversed it, as some other folks have done, and mounted it near the tailgate just off the bed floor. This allows me to load and unload from the ground and it keeps the bikes below the cab roof line. So wherever the truck can go the bikes can go without snagging on anything. Went out for a varied terrain test drive and it didn't budge. Package came clean and undamaged with a completely functional inventory of parts. Every part was machined properly and the lock works as well as the release button. No problems at all with anything! Just rotated the fork mounts 90 degrees for the low mounting position and it was done. Etrailer really came through on this one! I will continue to do business with this company!

Softride Shuttle Pad Tailgate Pad for Full-Size Trucks - Up to 6 Bikes - 61" Wide
The fit for a 2014 Ram was spot on, no issue with the wide style tailgate top and the access flap for the tailgate handle lined up perfectly. Material is durable and easy to clean, the only thing holding it from a 5 stars is if it had the padded dividers on top to keep the bikes separated. But for the price, the fit and finish was exceptional, great value !!!
The product review/installation video helped me make my selection. I selected the full size pad for 2001 Silverado 1500. Installs easily, fits nicely, flap in pad is positioned for easy access to tailgate latch.

Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Carrier - Fork Mount - Bolt On
Had bought three of these a year ago and placed it on a cut 2" x 4" for three bikes. All three bikes (2 MTB and 1 Road) now easily fit the 5'7" bed of my Ram 1500. No worries with the quick release and no more stress taking the whole family to the trails. So glad I got these.
The Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Carrier - Fork Mount - Bolt On, is just what I was looking for to be able to build a bike rack for carrying one of my bikes on my motorcycle. It was easy to mount and it holds my bike in place while riding on bumpy dirt roads, city streets, highways and even when I hit some twisty country roads. It's really easy to load and unload my bike when I get to where I want to ride. I use a velcro strap around the quick-release and the fork arm as an added safety as well as a couple tie-downs from my bike handlebars to my motorcycle passenger pegs to help distribute the weight on my rack. If you want to build your own DIY bike rack I totally recommend the Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Carrier - Fork Mount - Bolt On.
