Thule GateMate Pro Compact Truck Bed Bike Rack

This Gate Pro works great, comes off and on ina couple minutes. Awesome rack and I highly recommend it.

Purchased for family use and works great for carrying bikes in a smaller box to protectboth the bikes and the finish of the truck....highly recommended!

Fits my GMC Sierra multi-pro tailgate and easy to install. Used a couple times so far and keeps bikes stable and protects my tailgate. Got the large size and fits perfect. Fits five bikes easily and could probably get two more in there. “I like it a lot”

Very impressed with the design, fit, and function of the GateMate PRO. It took a little fiddling with it to get it to sit on the tailgate correctly (I only had one set of pad blocks over the top at first) but once I readjusted it fit my RAM 1500 perfectly. The straps took a bit of finesse to work through the gap between the bottom of the gate and the truck bed, but that is more a function of how the truck was designed. I plan to keep a small piece of bent coat hanger wire in one of the pockets to help me pull the straps through the gap when I install it again. The Cannondale mountain bikes we hauled sat neatly in the cradle of the foam pads and the straps secured them incredibly well to the truck. For all of the goofballs that complained about the length of the strap in the other reviews - All you have to do is wrap the strap around the frame tube one extra revolution THEN thread it through the plastic ring and cinch it tight. Makes me wonder how some people manage to find their way out of bed in the morning, but I digress. This method of one extra wrap around the frame tube provides a really nice grip on the frame. We drove a couple of hundred miles so far with the bikes strapped down and they don't wiggle or bounce at all. The mesh storage pockets are a nice touch, as is the cutout that provides access to the tailgate handle and backup camera. The material that sits against the vehicle paint is incredibly soft. Sure, there may be cheaper options out there but they certainly don't appear to be as well-made as this one. VERY pleased with the purchase!

I’ve installed this GateMate Pro in my F150 Lightning. The gate is a couple of inches too wide to cleanly fit inside the frame of my Retrax tonneau, but because the GateMate is flexible I’m able to squeeze it in enough to close the tailgate. I might trim a bit off the sides to fix this. The product materials are strong and seem like they’ll last a few years. I like the pouches where I can store small items like gloves or bike tools.

Was able to use instantly, we’ll within 5 minutes as installation was a breeze. And the ability to secure your bikes within minutes allows for more time to bike.

I buy a lot of Thule products and love them all. I just bought a new GateMate and love it. Holds my bikes securely and without scratching them, unlike the other brands of pads my friends use.

Been using this for a couple months now. It's a solid high quality pad. We toss four bikes....sonetimes five on it. It fits my 2022 Honda Ridgeline perfectly and the premium backing prevent scratches. A little spendy but as with all Thule products the quality, design and durability add up to an excellent value.
