In-Bed Truck Transport of Up to Four Bikes The Advantage BedRack Truck Bike Carrier fits both full size and compact size truck beds, securing fully assembled bikes with rim sizes ranging up to 28", quickly and easily for transport at a moments notice. This rack extends from 54.5" to 66.5" laterally without a spacer and extends from 60.5" to 72.5" with a full-size spacer (spacer included). And installation could not be easier. The bike rack secures along the inner walls of your truck bed utilizing adjustable rubberized lateral stabilizers that simply twist into place with wingnut type screws, all included. No drilling is required and no tools are needed. In addition, nonskid/slip feet along its bottom edge mean that the Advantage BedRack works equally well with or without bed liners, again without the possibility of scratching your vehicle. Finally, with an eye towards security of items in an open truck bed, the Advantage BedRack comes with a 72" lockable cable (lock not included) to help secure bikes. Simply run the cable through the BedRack and bikes, and secure it to your vehicle at available points along the inner and upper walls of the bed and you can be assured with confidence that the rack and bikes are always secure.  Adjustable spacers hold bikes in place without the need to remove wheels. View larger.  Adjusts to a variety of sizes suitable for full and compact sized trucks. View larger. Efficient, Hassel-Free Design The Advantage BedRack Truck Bike Rack allows you to get off the trail and back on the road fast and conveniently. Most bicycles have long since come with quick release hubs for removing tires, but removing tires is an extra step in transporting bikes, and what do you do with tires once removed? Forget the extra steps and storage questions. With the Advantage BedRack you can leave your tires on. Just roll the rear tire of your bikes into place and secure them with the adjustable securing bar and you are ready to roll. Another great advantage of the BedRack is that unlike some other bike carriers, it does not require the use of your trailer hitch. This allows you to transport up to four bikes while keeping your trailer hitch free for hauling your other trailer toys. Additionally, owners can remove the BedRack from their truck bed at any time to provide a light weight, but sturdy standalone bike rack. Key Features - Assembles quickly

Reader Reviews
This bike rack is a great buy for the money. It fits into full size as well as smaller trucks. Mine is a Tacoma and it fits perfectly. I do have to say that the directions for assembly are terrible but looking at the picture on the box and a little trial and error are all you really need. Be sure none of the pieces are still stuck together from the finish coating as they won't slide to adjust if you don't and this will make assembly very difficult.I recommend using something to help hold the bikes in place during use as the simple device that holds the top of the tire is not enough to hold adult size bikes in place while driving. Mine are a Fuji MTB and a Redline cyclocross and both of them shift in the rack if I don't use straps to hold them. Not a big deal really. I do like that each tire holder is adjustable up and down for different size bikes. My kids bikes fit really well and tend to stay put for the most part unless I corner hard while driving.The rack is held in place by tension to the side of the truck bed so you need to really get it placed well and centered before you adjust the fit. I have had no trouble with needing to adjust mine once it was set. There is also a heavy cable provided so that you can secure the rack to the truck as well as the bikes to the rack. I bought extra cables so that everything can be locked up together with the cables. It would be easy for someone to take the entire rack from the truck bed if it is not secured with one of these cables. The rack does not attach to the truck directly in any way. I liked that about this rack.I gave it 4 stars because with just a couple of straps I can load all of my bikes and go to the trails and not need to re-attach tires or anything like that before I head out for a ride. It makes it easy to carry kids bikes which usually don't have quick disconnect front tires that many other truck bed rack require. The cost is very reasonable for what you get. It is all metal and is of decent quality. I recommend this if you want a truck bed rack that you can quickly load and unload a variety of bikes into without needing to remove the front tire.
