Softride Shuttle Pad Tailgate Pad for Mid-Size Trucks - Up to 6 Bikes - 54" Wide
Arrived 2 days earlier than promised. Extremely easy to install. Just loosened up the straps and slid it off of the tailgate of my Ridgeline. All I have to do is slide it back on and tighten the straps. Will take less than two minutes. Padding is very thick and our bikes, including my wife's electric bike, will be well protected. If I could give the six stars, I would.
I've only tried it once so far, but high marks. It takes about 2 minutes to put it on the tailgate. The bikes fasten with Velcro straps to the top. I have very heavy bikes, and one leaned a little on a short ride. No problem after cinching it again. For a long drive, I'd augment with tie downs, cables, and locks. If I had a receiver, I'd get a conventional carrier, but this is a cheap, viable alternative.

Swagman Truck Bed Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Fork Mount - 9-mm Skewer
I installed this bike carrier in my 2017 Honda Ridgeline. Shipping was super fast and got it the day after I ordered. The fitment is great and the installation took about 10 minutes. It is exactly what I needed!
Fits great in the 2017 Honda Ridgeline. My 29 bike fits with the tailgate closed.

Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad for Full-Size Trucks - Up to 7 Bikes - 53" Wide
I like it, but wish it fit my 2011 Honda Ridgeline better. It's just a tad wide and I have to get creative in getting the tailgate shut. Will probably sale it this spring to someone who may have a wider tailgate. I really like the Thule brand and the quality of their products.
Tracking order was detailed and exacting. I've not seen that with any other company. I put the tailgate pad on my new 2021 Honda Ridgeline, then tried an electric bike on it. It works perfectly and protects both the bike and the truck tailgate. So far I'm very impressed with the product.

Swagman Tailwhip Tailgate Pad for Mid-Size Trucks - Up to 4 Bikes - 54" Wide
Very satisfied with this product! It is plug & play out of the box, it takes 1-2 minutes to install, and it fit my Honda tailgate like a glove. The cover is lightweight yet fully protects my trucks finish. The Swagman is an excellent value.
This bike is of excellent quality. Every time I ride it I am amazed by its ride. It is excellent.

Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Carrier - Fork Mount - Bolt On
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.
Love this product! I built a great bike carrying system for my F-150 using two of these fork clamps. They are easy to install and extremely well made. No more tangled bikes and lots more room in the bed for other stuff! Best way to go for a nice bike rack system. Thanks, Phil T.

Swagman Patrol Truck Bed Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Fork Mount - 9-mm Skewer and 15-mm Thru-Axle
rack tends to work itself loose from bed walls during long trips. had to strap down with ratchet straps to keep from moving. locks only work at a specific angle -- wish the manual had said this because we couldn't lock our bikes until figuring it out.
Excellent Customer service and help for this product. Thank you Carol and Neil your the best.

RockyMounts HotRod Truck Bed Bike Carrier - Thru-Axle Mount - Bolt On - Black
This is not the first bolt-on 12mm thru-axle fork mount I've attempted to use, but it IS the only one I've ever actually been able to use properly. I'm always please with RockyMounts quality and this is no different!

Kuat Dirtbag Bike Rack - Fork Mount - Bolt On - 15 mm Thru-Axle Skewer
Nice fit and finish.
Cheap alternative compared to having to buy a 9mm thru axle mount for the utili-track in my Nissan Frontier AND THEN having to buy an adapter for that! For under $10 I bought some parts from a local hardware store and made this mount fit the track. It's sturdy, and high quality.
What our customers are saying:
"I order a Curt trailer hitch and a Rola bike rack on Wednesday. They arrived the next day. Can't do better than that - good prices, fast service. Only thing better would be an automatic install!!! Thank you."
