I’ve recently got myself a Colorado Ute and am considering options for bike transport using the tray in conjunction with a secure locking tonneau cover and am keen to know what solutions others are using.
I need a secure tonneau so a soft cover won’t do, but also want to put bikes in the tray, most likely using a tailgate pad. The issue with this is the standard hard tonneau lids won’t allow bikes to be loaded using the tailgate pad.
Roller covers appear to be a good option but the canister that the lid retracts into are large and will impede the rear wheel of the bike, so no good there.
Tri-fold hard covers look like they’d be the best solution as they’ll not impede the bike when fully up, but will completely cover the rear window, so not really ideal.
How have you Ute owners got yours set up?
