Recently sold my Tundra for the T4R. Occasionally I need to carry 3 bikes. I have a 2 bike hitch rack. With the truck I’d just throw the 3rd bike in the bed.
I bought a Yakima front loader bike rack for the roof. Figured that would work for the times I need to transport 3 bikes (mountain bikes- 27-32 pounds)
What a pain in the butt it is to try to get them up there! Used a step stool but man it isn’t easy. Was afraid I was going to drop the bike onto the T4R and scratch up the paint! Also Can’t open the rear hatch cause the rack is too long and hangs over. It may work if I adjust the crossbars all try way forward. But it was such a pain I’m just returning it!
Looking for other solutions. One for the roof where you take the front wheel off maybe? Not sure if that would make it much easier or not. Otherwise guess I’ll have to get a 4 bike hitch mount. But those hang WAY off the back of the truck. Maybe a vertical hitch rack.
How are you guys transporting 3+ bikes?
Thanks
