Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased two of these BedHead truck bike racks (one locking Yakima BedHead Truck Rack Locking and one non-locking Yakima BedHead Bike Rack) and they work great! I went with these because I wanted something that would allow me to leave my tonneau cover on as well. These have a very small footprint so I can install them or take them off as needed and since they mount to the side of my truck bed I was able to install two of them towards the rear of my truckbed and have the front of my truck bed still covered by my tonneau cover. This allows us to pack luggage and camping supplies under the tonneau out of the elements yet have the bikes in the back as well. It seems to secure them down well as long as make sure the skewer is tight. I first purchased the Bedhead without the locking skewer; 1) Because it was cheaper. 2) Because I did not think I would have our bikes in the truck unattended. If for some reason I thought I needed to leave them I would lock them together with a bike cable to the truck bed itself. Well after seeing how they install with a hex bolt and an allen wrench I never thought about the BedHead rack itself and someone ganking it while I am out riding. You can only get to the bolt that installs/removes it by taking the skewer completely out. That said I ordered my second BedHead with the locking skewer and have a piece of mind that when out riding my BedHead rack "should" be there when I get back. I now have to pay an extra ~$30 to get a locking skewer for my other BeadHead Yakima Universal Locking Skewer. Lesson learned, spend the little extra and get the locking Yakima BedHead Truck Rack.
One more nice plus about these is they are very small and since I live in the Mid-West we get snow half the year (which equals no biking) and storing a large trunk-mount or receiver-mount bike rack takes up space in the attic or garage. You will have no problem storing these little guys in a drawer.
