What do I need for my truck model?Check out our Fit Guide for comprehensive info to get you the best setup for your truck.
-
Will my bike fit with the tailgate closed?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.

How much weight can the QR3 hold?ESTIMATED WEIGHT CAPACITY The following Estimated Weight Capacity applies to the standalone QR3 rack system. Actual capacity may vary depending on driving conditions, vehicle compatibility, and bicycle specifications. Because every vehicle and bicycle setup is different, it is essential to evaluate stability after installation. Load your bike(s) onto the rack and confirm that everything is secure before driving. If you experience any issues or have concerns, contact RIDE88 before use. For additional stability, RIDE88 offers accessories designed to enhance rack performance.

-
Can bikes go in backwards?Yes most bikes work great installed backwards however some small BMX bikes may not. Long fenders on the back wheel may also prevent the arm from closing.
-
How high should I mount the rack off the truck bed floor?15"-21" from the truck bed floor to the center of where the rack clamp on to the bar is a good range. 16.5" Is about ideal. If the mounting goes lower the rack will lift off the bed floor when installing some wheel sizes. However, that is still an acceptable function of the rack.
-
Do the racks work with bed covers?Yes, and the rack folds down out of the way. We suggest soft roll-up covers, or for folding covers and bulkier roll-ups the racks need to move back from the cab a few inches. Options are shown in this quick video: Installation Options
-
Can the rack handle E-bikes?Yes, see the "How much weight can the QR3 hold?" FAQ for details.
-
Will the rack work with fenders?Some fenders extend too far to work with our compression arm. The upper arm that presses against the tire is not intended to press against fenders. If you are not sure if it will work with your bike please contact us and we will help you determine if it will fit or not.
