Most modern short-bed trucks will not be able to close the tailgate unless the bike is small enough. For precise fit information, see our offset charts for the Telescopic Crossbar and Utility Track below. You may also be able to close your tailgate if you mount your bike with the rear wheel and turn the front wheel to the side. If your tailgate needs to stay down, our Tailgate Boss can keep it from bouncing when transporting.

We can! If you email your postal code and the products you are interested in to info@RIDE88.com, we can send a quote and electronic invoice with the shipping price. Canadian shipping is automatically quoted through checkout.

The Tailgate Boss is compatible for trucks with a post style tailgate striker, including Ram, Chevy, GMC, Ford, and Nissan. You can get more information here.
