Exactly, one of my greatest fears is if I die, my wife will sell my bikes (and guns) for what she thinks I paid...It would be nice to not remove the front wheel so the Ride88 is nice for that.
and you typically get what you pay for the cheap bike racks are flimsy
My bikes are Trek or Specialized carbon fiber models that don't come cheap so probably best to get a study set up.

One of the reasons I like these trucks is the bed space, having it all in the bed makes me feel better. When I have to use a rack I am constantly checking it for fear of something falling off. Aluminum or carbon these bikes are expensive now so best to spend the money and take care of them.Exactly, one of my greatest fears is if I die, my wife will sell my bikes (and guns) for what she thinks I paid...
Plus this is one of the reasons I went SD, to have the bikes fit in the bed. I was looking at a Gladiator, but just couldn't commit to a smaller, questionable FCA product, when I knew the SD would be more reliable and comfortable.
I have a couple of the Insta-Gaters and really like them. However it should be noted that if you are looking to secure a road/tri bike you’ll have to grab the frame behind the front wheel, there isn’t enough clearance between tire and frame to fit. For carbon bikes do this at your own risk.The Thule Insta-Gater is a similar idea to the Ride88 design. I am leaning towards the Ride88, looks well made, but I agree I prefer to have the bike ready to ride when I arrive and not have to install the front wheel and store it in transit. Not a big deal just the convenience of hopping out and go.
Yes, I have one and it sits “funny“ on the tailgate. But it works for my sons and my bike.Anyone tried a tailgate pad? Wondering how they work with these thick tailgates with the built in step and camera.
Is this a picture of your bike in the Tremor? The bed looks very small (or the bike is really big) and I hope my bikes are not this tight...I have a couple of the Insta-Gaters and really like them.

Here is a picture with it in use when I picked up the cruiser to ride while my broken collarbone healed up.
Yeah, looking at the back window, I am hoping its like a 5' F150 bed.Is this a picture of your bike in the Tremor? The bed looks very small (or the bike is really big) and I hope my bikes are not this tight...
I have the Kuat 2.0 for the back of my truck when not towing a trailer. I do not trust the receiver on the back of my trailer as they move up and down quite a bit compared to the back of a truck. Have you had any issues putting yours on the back of the trailer?We have a kuat and some speedy bikes. A Levo and carbon comp. we have hauled all over the county and been quite happy. One nice think with the Kuat is that you don’t have to lift into the bed, can keep the bed cover locked, and the move the rack to our trailer.
once we reach the campground switch back to the truck of add plenty of cables to the trailer.
That was in my 2015 F250 standard bed ... and yeah, that bike is pretty big. My Tri bike doesn’t sit as far back so I’m hoping there is a possibility I’ll be able to fit it once I add the Retrax cover. If not I’ll probably go with the Thule Bed Rider. Ideally I’d like to be able to hold 3 bikes in whatever setup I do so I can accommodate mine, my wife and our training partners bikes.Is this a picture of your bike in the Tremor?

Love it thats a great Idea and I don't have to spend $500.00 or more.May be too ghetto for you but I built a PVC rack. It holds three bikes, was cheap and is lightweight and easily stored in the garage when not needed.
Also this keeps the bikes at or below cab level and I can pull in the garage loaded with no clearance issues.
Truckbed PVC Bike Rack
Truckbed PVC Bike Rack: We recently bought two bikes and instead of just throwing the bikes onto the bed of the truck and get them scratched, I build one using PVC pipes from the hardware store. I made it at TechShop since it's a lot more spacious and they have all the to…www.instructables.com
