The Thule Bed-Rider Bike Carrier, part # TH822XTR will not work with trucks that have a bed liner and cap, but I do have a solution for you.
I recommend the Swagman Patrol 2 Bike Rack for Truck Beds - Fork Mount # S64701. When installing this when a bed liner is present, you will need to cut away part of the underside bed liner so the screw used to tighten the bracket can be used. You can check out the attached installation instructions to see how this is installed. I have also attached a link to an installation video for this bike carrier you can take a look at.
Another alternative option is the Topline Bed carrier # UG2500-4. This is a different style that works well with liners and caps.
