That rack is relevant to my interests.

Nice truck. I'm looking at a new Frontier or Tacoma. No manual transmission Pro-4X Frontiers in Western Canada for a couple of months (moving to Cali at the end of May so my time is a little short), and even the autos are in very short supply. No official word on Tacoma availability right now but it doesn't look good. I'm getting desperate enough that I priced out F-150s online last night ;)

Being cheap is OK. Being a clueless sanctimonious condescending douchebag is just Vlad's MO.

Trucks are cheaper down here, why not wait?

I never get that one either. Sure if you have a canopy on most of the time for camping trips or such, but part of the reason for a truck is the ease of tossing stuff in the back.

Only time I have a rack on my truck is when I'm shuttling lots of people or if the motos are in the back and I need to bring the mtbs along too

Gear in the bed often leaves little room for bikes, especially for a weekend of camping with 4 people.

I throw the bike rack on for most road trips, gear goes in the bed under a tonneau cover. My tonneau is a roll up one so generally the bikes go in the back for shuttles/whistler etc.

If a guy wants/needs a hard tonneau for daily use, it's a pain to remove when you need to put bikes in, so a bike rack is the way to go.

Some of you are missing the subject of the thread: there's way too many groceries in the bed to fit bikes in there. Rack required.

Ride, don't slide.

Exactly! I've always got a fair amount of gear in the back. As well, I bought the in box tent, so as we pull over for the night, I can keep the bikes on the rack, locked up!
