Another plus about the bed mount is that I can leave the bike in the bed and still fits in the garage so I don’t need to remove everything if I am going the next day.

Tailgate pad works flawlessly, along with an adjustable spare tire carrier.

Edit: oops, wrong forum

This looks like a pretty clean method to use, but unclear how stable the rear tire would be.

Those tie-down points are plenty strong, more a concern about the cable/bungie/cord/whatever.

Diamond Back is the way to go. Had it on my last F150 and I have one on my new truck. The only cover that can hold my ATV up to 1600 lbs. I made a similar setup for a set of bikes when we went to Moab.
In fact I kept my old one when I traded my truck since the dealer would not give me any credit for my bed cover. Anyone can PM me if you me if your truck needs a cover and you want to save $500 on a 8month old cover. https://diamondbackcovers.com/

I added fork mounts to the factory bed hooks so I can either flip up the cover or remove it and mount two bikes in the bed or I can carry them out back if needed depending on what’s going on. dda99f7fee8ed0aa557c3f2c2c671091.jpg

How did you attach the seasucker to the handle? I am guessing you had to drill holes?

Does anyone know what product is being used to tie down the rear wheel?

it took me a while to find but that blue adapter is a Hurricane Brutus fat bike fork adapter and it’s just what I need. I appreciate the posted photo to assist me.

I used to run the tailgate mats. Maybe we get to rowdy shuttling but we have had bikes with dented down tubes. When I ended up with my carbon stumpy, And carbon Pivot Phoenix I was hesitant to run tail gate mats. Picked up a north Shore 4 bike upright rack. It's been very good for a few seasons now. Haven't dropped a bike yet.

I was considering mounting something to the Diamondback cover I plan on buying, but I think a 1UP hitch rack will work better for me. My Surly fat bike doesn’t have a quick release front wheel.
