I use this rack on my 2010 Ford F150 and I absolutely love it. I can leave the rack on my truck if I so choose because the shaft can be lowered to drop to tailgate when needed. The rack can be removed very quickly and easily with a 19mm socket as well.

I have an SUV but the rack folds down to provide access. When folded down, the rack is about 10 inches higher than the hitch receiver, if that helps.

The party of the track where the two hooks are can be lowered to allow trunk hatches and tailgates when the track is not carryng bikes

We did go to main with this rack. While we where there, with my parents who drove separate... They have a two bike bar in the bed of their truck. We wanted to take one vehicle from our rental house to the trails. So we use our bike rack for our two bikes on the back of his Colorado pick up. Worked great, and fit nice.

As the boot is round, other shapes of exhaust pipes may be an issue. My Tacoma has a piece of chrome on the exhaust pipe to give it a nicer look, that's held on with a clamp. I removed it to use what I call the 'Gopher Getter', as it was too large for the boot to fit over. Placing it on the actual tail pipe worked like a champ.

It hasn't set mine off, but I retract it whenever the vehicle is on. It's probably NOT designed to be extended while the vehicle is in motion. I would further guess that it's no different than having the tailgate down while using a bed extender. I haven't tried this, but I would think it wouldn't be in the line of sight of the alert system.

First, get this one.. Pop & Lock PL5400 Black Manual Tailgate Lock with BOLT Codeable Technology for Toyota Tacoma .. Going from memory here, but it was really easy. Just took the bolts off around the tailgate cover, it slid right off. The bolts for the handle, came right out. Flop the bar over (not hard at all, I promise). put the new handle in, and put everything back together. I use both the locking hoseclamp solution and this. I feel that this lock is not REAL strong, it feels a bit cheap. This is why I combine it with a locking hoseclamp. First, get this one..

Well...I mounted one on my 4-wheel scooter. I had it mounted on the front for a while it worked great but you had to watch on turns, if you turned the tiller to quick it would upset what was in the basket. I used the hardware that came with the basket and the extsting mount for the scooters small lift off basket. I now have it on the rear and it is mugh better for me. I used a piece of square tubing in the mount there. I just welded a tee and drilled two holes for the baskets mounting holes. works great and will haul a pretty good load and the dog sits in the front basket..... good luck.....Jerry Well...I mounted one on my 4-wheel scooter.

I installed the strip on my truck with a spray-on bed coating with no issue. It all depends where your spray-on coating stops...in my case, the spray-coating is NOT on the areas where the strip is installed.

The mat is heavy and lays flat on the bed of the pickup and fits the bed perfectly. I've had bed mats in my last two pickups neither of which fit as well as this one, (both had to be cut to fit) and I never had either of them move. I wouldn't worry about it blowing out.

I, wont take mine on the highway. Wont even plate it. I am not a qualified mechanic/trailer builder. I just use mine on the ranch, hauling tools and whatnot. Maybe if you are confident in your building skills it would be ok. To me it seems a bit small to pull down the road behind a pick up or car. Wheels are too small for me, also i dont think it has enough weight to keep it stable. For the road, and for safety, if it were me, i'd get something bigger. Just one mans opinion.

I have a 2010 dodge with a stromberg fth wheel tailgate. I lift my generator into the bed of the truck and I leave the gate down while using the lift.

This cover sets on top of the bed side rails so if you have anything on the bed rails now you will have to remove it. This cover almost overhangs the truck bed so that if you have water on the cover it will run off on the outside of the truck. Hope this helps

I have an 05 Tacoma, and did just that! Probably just about the same. I did not cut any plastic backing, but rather after removing the tray, I made a wooden "mount" that I screwed into the upper part of where the tray went then I screwed the brake controller holder onto the wooden "mount". I did have to work the wooden part a bit to fit the curve of the dash, and I put plastic anchors in the dash where it screws into it. Puts the unit at the height and angle that I wanted. Painted the wooden mount black, and you can hardly see it.

I am using mine as I'm writing this (SNOW storm in Atlanta for cryin'-out-loud!!!) on my 2007 Silverado and it has always done a perfect job in the snow...or icy conditions. I'm very happy with it!!

This is not to be used on a pick up truck as the tail gate will block the step. Heininger does make a pick up twist step though, just not this model.

I put my BODY ARMOR rear bumper on my TACOMA 2008 4x4 and it worked very well. It did take two people to make the installation easier, but one person can do it! I put an ARB front bumper and the combo looks great and NO ONE parks close to me.

I put this on a Toyota ( Small truck.) and I am thinking it is a generic fit ? I would call A couple trailer places and give them all the info. and ask them which model they would install for you on your specific truck. I would not order it without knowing for sure, it is a very good and heavy duty hitch and went on with no trouble or problems, I have a trailer shop I called that I have worked with over 20 years and they told me it would work before I ordered it and they installed it as I had some welding done on the truck also.... Good Luck RJ
