Question:
I have a new 2017 tacoma and I am looking for a truck bed rack for my mountain bike. I have a bed railing system on the side of the bed so the yakama rack will not fit. Also my bike does not fit sideways in the bed and does not have a rail system in the front, so the rockymount type will not work either. What would be my best option? I am looking for something that locks the bike to the rack and also locks the rack to the truck.

Your best bet for a lockable bike rack that is compatible with the Cargo Management Rails on your new 2017 Toyota Tacoma is the Inno Velo C-Channel-Mount Gripper Bike Rack # INRT202. This carrier offers no-drill installation and includes D-rings that provide anchor points for a cable lock or tie-down points for cargo straps.
You can use our cable lock # e98891 to secure the bike and rack.
