Truck Bed Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2004 Nissan Frontier with Large Mountain Bike Frames

Question:

Most modern mountain bikes typically have larger diameter frames. The narrowest point on my bike is 1.75inch in diameter. I like the simplicity of this design and was wondering if they come larger than 1.5inch in diameter? This works perfectly for me, so your answer/help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I believe I have a simple solution for you, but the Topline Bike Rack part # UG2500 wouldn't work for you since it has a 1-1/2 inch frame width max and your bike has 1-3/4 inch diameter frame.

Check out the Softride Shuttle Pad Tailgate Bike Carrier # SR26457. This carrier sits on the tailgate of your truck and allows for simple and easy bike loading. I attached a review video for you to check out as well. I also confirmed that this is the correct size to use for your 2004 Nissan Frontier
