The best bike solution that I have found is to use motorcycle tie- downs. put the bike(s) in with
the rear wheel toward the cab and Strap the tie-downs to the headtube and cinch tight. Two bikes can
go side by side with two sets of tie-downs attached to the corner tiedown rings. You may need an
additional tie-down to the front to keep the front wheel from bouncing. In any case, you will need
to remove the fairing if you have one, unless you have a camper top. If your bed is shorter than the
LWB, you make have to drop the gate or go from corner to corner or trade the truck for a Mini-Van.
(A tour Easy will fit inside a Toyota Sienna with room for a Tailwind too.).
