Good idea but this thing is JUNK. It does not stay in place very well. The bikes keep trying to fall over thus pulling it away from the truck bed. If you have a full size truck like I do they don’t give you an extension rod for the lower front saying it’s not needed.

Like others have said, it works, but it’s not spectacular. The concept is great and I really like the idea that the bikes are in the bed of the truck and not hanging off the back. When we bought ours, we didn’t notice the line “does not fit step side.” Of course, we have a step side and it does fit, but you have to use the small pickup instructions (and yeah, they are weak). Our road bikes have a tendancy to shift during turns and the foam pieces don’t fit snugly – probably due to our skinny tires, I would think mountain bikes would fit a little better.
All in all, I like using it. A few bungee cords to secure the bikes to the rack and a couple more in the front to keep the wheels from turning make everything all right. We’ve also found moving the chain to the largest chain ring in the front and back keeps the derailleur from banging into the rack.

This carrier is easy to assemble and fits well into my 2009 Silverado short-box. The hardware is good quality. My only small reservation is the way the wheel of the bike is held in place. I would like to see a little more positive way of holding the wheel. I like the fact that you can take the carrier out of the truck and use it in the campground.

Great product. Fits in well and is solid. Can hold 4 bikes quickly and without fuss. You need a tie down strap across them to keep them upright, as you would expect, but one will do across them all, looped around the frame or steering stem or each.
No worries. The manufacturer was really helpful in finding one for me too, and directed me here.

I have a Dodge Dakota Quad Cab and I have used the Advantage BedRack 4 times now. It’s easy to assemble and really easy to install. My only complaint is that the cups that press against the bed of the truck to hold it in place are a little cheaply made. But for the price and the ease of holding 4 bikes, it works great. No other complaints.
