Bringing back a dead thread just to show another option. 5.5ft bed, BakFlip G2 trifold cover. Two long aluminum bars sandwich the cover with 8 bolts, locking Blockheads bolted to the aluminum bars. Great setup that has withstood tons of abuse. Real cheap, real easy.

I used to drive a Ranger with a 6' and my bikes would fit, barely. I recently bought an F150 with 6.5' for bike fit. The more interesting thing I've found is for one bike I just pop F wheel and put the whole works in the supercab. This is great to keep the bike locked and out of sight, and to keep the suspension warm when riding Ray's in the dead of winter.

An ex had a 5.5' with a segmented taneau. We had to hang bikes off the tailgate and did not like the set-up. The only upside was we could easily take 4 bikes that way. Unless you're hauling 4 or more, go with the 6.5'

I have a 15' with 5.5 bed. I'm gtitng a Leer top with a rack on top. I'm going back and forth between top rack mount or hitch mount. I wonder how rough it is going to be hoist the bike up that high. Waiting to see with the top installed.

I picked up my 29er Remedy and it fit in my truck bed no problem. Tail gate up.

Nice set up, simple and effective

here is my custom setup i made with some wood laying around the house,
only have 26in wheels and with the wheel turned it fits in my 12 f150 supercrew 5.5ft bed, if i had 29er i would def go for the 6.5 bed.

Nice set up, simple n effective

Great thread with a lot of good ideas! I'm taking delivery on a 2015 SCrew this week, and I'm worried about the switch from my 6.5' Tundra double cab bed to the 5.5' bed on the F150...

I have one bike with a 15mm skewer and the others are the older style 9mm. I'll be eventually be adding a cab height shell on the back, so rail or top mount racks aren't an option for me.

Has anyone found an in-bed solution for 15mm skewers that they like? I almost just bought a Beddy Jo, but then realized it won't work without an extra $50 adapter that looks pretty kludgey...

Love this mount Rack Man. Any chance you could provide some drawings/dimensions of this to build it my self.

Thanks

2015 Super Duty with 6.5' fits mine perfectly with my Insta-Gator. On the 150 I assume it'd be the exact same.

I have a 6.5' supercab and typically pull the front wheel to put the bike under the tonneau (or in the cab behind the seat). I have to do this because of the bar width. Former girlfriend had a 5.5' supercrew and it was rather limiting.
