This is not a review of the pad’s performance…got it for Christmas and needed to test before return date expired. I’ll be keeping.
Race Face T2 Tailgate Pad Black, S/M
Edit to add this comment shared with me:
Holds five bikes with some contact between bikes on the tires, rims, spokes, and forks. The bikes have no contact with the truck other than the rear tire on the bed. I DIDN’T DRIVE ANYWHERE, I DON’T KNOW HOW WELL IT WOULD HOLD OR PROTECT YOUR BIKES WHILE DRIVING ON YOUR ROADS. There is less contact here than I had on my three bike trunk carrier, and putting the bikes on this is 10x faster.
Bikes L -> R:
The pad has a center cutout with two adjustable/removable pads. I adjusted the lower pad to allow for the camera to peek through. I can easily access the handle between the pads. The tailgate pad can be used with one, two, or none; I might just remove both if I don’t have a bike in the center.

Four straps underneath, top straps didn’t need any tightening. Interior is a soft fleece-like fabric. Edge dimensions look spot on.Love it! Im going to buy this pad as well for my soon to be maverick. Just a heads up for other potential buyers this is available for just over $110 (with shipping) straight from raceface right now if you choose the right color. There is also the fox overland pad for the same price which is the same pad but with different branding.
