[QUOTE="JAWSRaptor, post: 1734329, member: 54709"] I would like to share my experiences carrying bikes on my raptor. I’ve had a few different setups so Ill discuss what worked and didn’t work for me. Before I begin, ill state that I chose to use all Yakima products because I’ve owned Yakima products for years and think they make high quality items. I’ve also had excellent customer service experience with Thule and their products. First off, Id like to state that I have a Retrax Pro XR tonneau cover on the truck. Its also full wrapped in XPEL (will get to this later). I typically load mountain bikes and/or road bikes but these method should work for most bicycles. When I first got the truck I wanted to carry as many bikes as possible, for the cheapest cost possible.

So this leads me to the slightly more expensive option. [/QUOTE]
