Tailgate pad to carry bikes
Hi there, I am thinking of using a tailgate pad to transport bikes while towing my TT. I am interested in hearing from anyone that has had first hand experience doing this. Not interested in opinions...

OK. I seen these in use while on vacation. my only question is why? Why have the bikes hanging out the back of the truck?!
Why not?

seems like a solution looking for a problem! If you have so much stuff in the bed of the truck then you are trying to bring too much. not only that but I believe you could get a ticket for improper and/or unsecured load.
Seems like you're looking to invent a problem without having any real understanding of the product.

I would never use one. too many better ideas/options!
Better is very subjective. How about almost all other consumer product solutions cost more and in some cases, a lot more. I see bikes carried this way almost everyday out where I live and never see any unsafe conditions because of them. Not sure why you would even mention about the possibility of getting a ticket for an unsecured load? :h
However one of these tailgate pads would not work for my truck as it would block my backup camera.
