In a sharp turn, my largest bike tire clears the top of the bed of my truck by 9 inches. That's enough buffer room for me to be confident that I'll never hit my truck with a bike regardless of the road angle or turn angle.
I recently sold my 2013 Tundra and bought a 2015 Chevy 3500HD. I now clear the bed of my truck by less "height-wise" (maybe 3-4 inches now), but clear by more "distance-wise" because the new truck has a 2.5" trailer hitch instead of the 2" in the Tundra and the 2.5" shanks are several inches longer so the camper is now farther from the back of the truck. In the sharpest turn on a hill I still clear by 5-6" and usually by more. It's physically impossible for the tires of the bike to touch the truck.
