Review: Best solution for my use case! - I've been researching a solution to transport bikes in my full size truck that wouldn't have the bikes hanging over the tailgate and wouldn't involve permanently obstructing my bed and this one was a clear winner as it checks all the boxes. Easy to set up and tear down, holds the bikes well. It's a bit pricy, but I recommend it if you can afford one (or a few)! Review: Awesome product - Why did you pick this product vs others?: Was looking for a rack that holds the bike in the truck bed instead of hanging from the trailer hitch. This product did not disappoint, I ordered another one. It was easy to build, very sturdy. Holds the bike well in the bed, only moved a little when driving down some dirt roads. Overall the rack holds the bike in place but if you want to make sure no one steals it you’ll still need another bike lock. ## Features - Fully-adjustable, upright bike carrier for the inside of a truck bed - Holds 1 bike up to 50 pounds - Quickly attach the bike with the ratcheting arm - Securely holds the bike in place without frame contact - Ideal for carbon frames, mountain, downhill, ebikes and fat bikes - Fits 20-29" wheels; up to 5" wide tires - Lock bike to the rack with Thule's One-Key system (lock included) - Fits all pickup tailgates - No bolting or drilling required - Load capacity: 50 pounds ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0051PDK3I | | Automotive Fit Type | Universal Fit | | Best Sellers Rank | #122,215 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #152 in Bicycle Car Racks | | Brand | Thule | | Brand Name | Thule | | Color | Black | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Truck | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 253 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00091021587731 | | Included Components | Rear Bike Carrier | | Is Foldable | No | | Item Dimensions | 40.6 x 18 x 6.7 inches | | Item Type Name | Rear Bike Carrier | | Item Weight | 11 Pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 40.6 x 18 x 6.7 inches | | Load Capacity | 50 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Thule | | Manufacturer Part Number | 501501 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime | | Material | Aluminum , Plastic | | Material Type | Aluminum, Plastic | | Model Number | 501501 | | Mounting Type | Inside Mount | | UPC | 091021587731 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Vehicle Service Type | Truck | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Thule - **Color:** Black - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00091021587731 - **Is Foldable:** No - **Item Weight:** 11 Pounds - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 40.6 x 18 x 6.7 inches - **Load Capacity:** 50 Pounds - **Material:** Aluminum, Plastic - **Mounting Type:** Inside Mount - **Vehicle Service Type:** Truck ## Images ![Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Rack - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51X+wCjf4JL.jpg) ![Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Rack - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41mmYaZtkaL.jpg) ![Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Rack - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/417CWI2Q04L.jpg) ![Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Rack - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71spqn5hS5L.jpg) ![Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Rack - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71y243toFLL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How do you secure a bike with fenders?** A: My bike had a rack on the back above the fender so I secured it on the rack. **Q: Can i reverse the arm to hold bikes rear tire and not up against my deraileuer?** A: Thanks for checking with Thule. Yes, you can. **Q: Will it fit with back flip tonneau cover** A: Thanks for checking Thule. Regretfully not. The Back Flip Tonneau Cover would preclude a safe fit. **Q: How many of these racks can you fit in a 2016 Chevy 2500 hd** A: The rack is 18 inches wide. Assuming the tailgate of your 2016 Chevy 2500 HD is the same width as my 2016 GMC Denali which is 61 inches you can fit 3 racks. My Denali is a shot bed so I have to turn the front wheel for the bikes to fit. the length of the bed. If you try to fit 3 full-size bikes in a shot bed you may have to take the front wheel off of the middle bike. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best solution for my use case! *by M***N on July 16, 2025* I've been researching a solution to transport bikes in my full size truck that wouldn't have the bikes hanging over the tailgate and wouldn't involve permanently obstructing my bed and this one was a clear winner as it checks all the boxes. Easy to set up and tear down, holds the bikes well. It's a bit pricy, but I recommend it if you can afford one (or a few)! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome product *by S***A on July 7, 2025* Why did you pick this product vs others?: Was looking for a rack that holds the bike in the truck bed instead of hanging from the trailer hitch. This product did not disappoint, I ordered another one. It was easy to build, very sturdy. Holds the bike well in the bed, only moved a little when driving down some dirt roads. Overall the rack holds the bike in place but if you want to make sure no one steals it you’ll still need another bike lock. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Difficult to Use *by T***K on January 12, 2026* It works well to secure the bike but is difficult to use. The tailgate has to be closed to attach it to the truck bed. Now how do you get the bike in the bed and yourself in and out to secure it. Only used it once. ## Frequently Bought Together - Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Rack - Boncas Adjustable Bike Rack Strap Bicycle Wheel Stabilizer Straps with Innovative Gel Grip Keep The Bicycle Wheel from Spinning --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/180877279-thule-insta-gater-pro-truck-bed-bike-rack](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/180877279-thule-insta-gater-pro-truck-bed-bike-rack) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
