The Swagman Patrol delivers a practical fork-mount solution designed specifically for pickup truck beds, providing secure transport for bikes without occupying valuable cargo space or requiring a hitch. Built for overlanders, weekend adventurers, and those who haul gear regularly, this rack mounts directly in the truck bed using an adjustable telescoping bar that spans widths from 45” to 68”, fitting most mid-size and full-size pickups. It ships ready to carry two bikes via included locking fork mounts, with the option to expand to four by adding Impakt Fork Mounts (sold separately).

Durability comes from rust-resistant aluminum construction, while security is handled through four dedicated locking points that secure both the bikes to the rack and the rack itself to the bed. The setup accommodates common modern bike axle standards right out of the box—9mm quick release, 12x100mm thru axle, and 15x100mm thru axle—making it compatible with many mountain, gravel, and road bikes. Installation remains tool-free and straightforward thanks to macro and micro adjustments on the telescoping arm and padded brackets that protect the truck bed. This rack keeps bikes stable and locked down during transit, whether heading to trailheads, bike parks, or multi-day overlanding trips.
