In-Bed Truck Transport of Up to Four Bikes


The Advantage BedRack Truck Bike Carrier fits both full size and compact size truck beds, securing fully assembled bikes with rim sizes ranging up to 28", quickly and easily for transport at a moments notice. This rack extends from 54.5" to 66.5" laterally without a spacer and extends from 60.5" to 72.5" with a full-size spacer (spacer included). And installation could not be easier. The bike rack secures along the inner walls of your truck bed utilizing adjustable rubberized lateral stabilizers that simply twist into place with wingnut type screws, all included. No drilling is required and no tools are needed. In addition, nonskid/slip feet along its bottom edge mean that the Advantage BedRack works equally well with or without bed liners, again without the possibility of scratching your vehicle. Finally, with an eye towards security of items in an open truck bed, the Advantage BedRack comes with a 72" lockable cable (lock not included) to help secure bikes. Simply run the cable through the BedRack and bikes, and secure it to your vehicle at available points along the inner and upper walls of the bed and you can be assured with confidence that the rack and bikes are always secure.

Efficient, Hassel-Free Design


The Advantage BedRack Truck Bike Rack allows you to get off the trail and back on the road fast and conveniently. Most bicycles have long since come with quick release hubs for removing tires, but removing tires is an extra step in transporting bikes, and what do you do with tires once removed? Forget the extra steps and storage questions. With the Advantage BedRack you can leave your tires on. Just roll the rear tire of your bikes into place and secure them with the adjustable securing bar and you are ready to roll. Another great advantage of the BedRack is that unlike some other bike carriers, it does not require the use of your trailer hitch. This allows you to transport up to four bikes while keeping your trailer hitch free for hauling your other trailer toys. Additionally, owners can remove the BedRack from their truck bed at any time to provide a light weight, but sturdy standalone bike rack.

This review is from: Heininger Automotive 2025 Advantage SportsRack BedRack (Misc.)
This bike rack is a great buy for the money. It fits into full size as well as smaller trucks. Mine is a Tacoma and it fits perfectly. I do have to say that the directions for assembly are terrible but looking at the picture on the box and a little trial and error are all you really need. Be sure none of the pieces are still stuck together from the finish coating as they won't slide to adjust if you don't and this will make assembly very difficult.
I recommend using something to help hold the bikes in place during use as the simple device that holds the top of the tire is not enough to hold adult size bikes in place while driving. Mine are a Fuji MTB and a Redline cyclocross and both of them shift in the rack if I don't use straps to hold them. Not a big deal really. I do like that each tire holder is adjustable up and down for different size bikes. My kids bikes fit really well and tend to stay put for the most part unless I corner hard while driving.

There are some pretty well written reviews already here, so I'll just write bullet points.
1. My rack only had two of the four caps to cover the legs, so when I used the rack as a stand, it marred my tile floor.
2. It was too wide for my Ford Ranger with bedliner, so I had to remove all but the minimum of the adjusting hardware to make it work.
3. The foam pieces were too thick to fit with my Hybrid Bike tires, so I had to swap them out with some thinner pieces from the hardware store.
4. You must put the rear wheels into the rack, which tends to push up or press sideways against the derailers.
It's far from perfect, but with a little tweeking, this rack does do the job.

I read the other reviews and I agree with just about all of them. I needed a rack for my F-250's bed so I can take our bikes on vacation. I wanted them upright and didn't like the hitch carrier we use on our car and I needed something that was easily removeable. When it came in, I found the instructions were a little vague on the lack of a third full size spacer for the rack. The rack seemed adjustable, but I couldn't figure it out. I called Heininger and they were very helpful and all I had to do was "coax" the middle uprights together on the back frame a little with a rubber mallet to get the front together to lock it in place. Heininger was right, the additional spacer is not needed, the instructions were a little lacking on this info though. The rack doesn't seem adjustable with the full size spacers right out of the box, but it is. You will need a strap to keep the bikes upright as they will move some driving, but as another reviewer posted, it's no big deal. Take your...Read more
