RaceFace T3 Bicycle Tailgate Covers

T3 Tailgate Bike Pad – Secure Truck Bed Bike Transport

The T3 Tailgate Bike Pad helps transport multiple mountain bikes, road bikes, and e-bikes securely while protecting your truck’s tailgate and your bikes’ frames. Its adjustable two-panel design accommodates different tailgate heights and shapes, while movable downtube attachment points help create proper spacing between bikes. Designed to stay on your truck full-time, the T3 combines bike protection, stability, and practical cargo access.

Best For

• Transporting multiple bikes in a pickup truck bed.
• Securing mountain bikes, XC race bikes, and full-power e-bikes.
• Protecting bike frames and truck tailgates during transport.
• Riders who need access to a tonneau cover when bikes are removed.

Key Benefits

• Tonneau Cover Compatibility: The thick foldaway downtube padding swings out of the way, allowing compatible tonneau covers to close and lock when the bikes are removed.
• Secure Fork Placement: Ridged, compression-molded foam helps protect forks and keep bikes upright on rough roads.
• Adjustable Bike Spacing: Movable downtube attachment points help reduce bike-to-bike contact.
• Tailgate and Frame Protection: High-density foam padding protects downtubes and the truck’s tailgate. The Half-Stack model includes a fold-out panel to help prevent tire rub.
• Adjustable Fit: The two-panel design accommodates different tailgate heights, with top-edge adjustment for flat or curved tailgate edges.
• Multiple Capacity Options: Choose a pad sized for up to two, five, or six bikes, depending on your truck and transport needs.

Compatibility

• Half-Stack: Carries up to 2 bikes and provides partial tailgate coverage for most trucks.
• Mid-Size: Carries up to 5 bikes and is designed for small and mid-size trucks, including the Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger, and Nissan Frontier.
• Full-Size: Carries up to 6 bikes and is designed for full-size trucks, including Ford F-150 to F-350, Chevrolet Silverado 1500–3500, Toyota Tundra, and Nissan Titan.
• E-Bikes: Downtube straps accommodate different frame sizes, including e-bike frames.
• Ram Trucks: Does not fit Ram trucks equipped with RAM side boxes. The manufacturer recommends a Mid-Size pad without tie-down rails or two separate 2-bike pads with tie-down rails, depending on the truck configuration.

Important: Check your truck’s tailgate dimensions, bed accessories, and tie-down rail configuration before selecting a size.
