Question:

I have 2017 GMC Canyon Crew Cab with a shirt box bed. I have a Roll up Acesss Vanish Tonnoaeu Cover and I want to be able to travel with my specialized road bike. The Vanish tonnoaeu cover comes with rails to install the tonneau cover and I am wondering what would be the best option for mounting my bike in the bed without having to remove the tonneau cover rails. Like I said before its a roll up tonneau cover. I would like to stay away from drilling anything in the bed or on the rails so I was hoping you could tell me what the best solution is for mounting my road bike in the bed of my truck. Thanks

Expert Reply:

For your 2017 GMC Canyon Crew Cab with short bed, I recommend the Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Single Bike Rack # TH93VR. This will fit in the tail gate of your truck and hold the front tire of your Specialized road bike. I recommend using a cable lock like # e98891 to further secure your bike to the carrier and lock your tail gate. This system will require no drilling.
