I want to use it on a 2010 Toyota Tacoma 4WD Pickup and am interested in this one b/c I can leave it on the truck during the riding season and still drop my tailgate to access the bed. Does anyone have experience with using this on a pickup?

I have an SUV but the rack folds down to provide access. When folded down, the rack is about 10 inches higher than the hitch receiver, if that helps.

I installed one recently on a 2004 F150 ext cab. The cover is very nice. The only objection I have is being that the bed of this truck narrows as it reaches the tailgate and the cover is rectangular you see more of the bed rail as you near the cab. I don't mind this but others may.

It worked as it was designed to. It lowers the tailgate in one smooth motion without my hand on it except to open it. Model truck was 2011 Ram 2500. Make sure you order correct one designed for your pickup.

No issues at all. That's what this thing was made for. I have a regular pickup and it works great for loading my atv, wheel barrow full of debris, and dollies with appliances. Having a lifted truck will make the angle pretty steep, but the ramp will handle it without a problem.

I haul my 650 Kawasaki KLR on the back of my half ton Chevy pickup truck with a topper and it works out great. The handle bars clear the rear window glass of the topper which is flush with the tailgate.

Works great on my trailer. It's nice because of the low profile. You can pull a car all the way up to it. Depending on what you are pulling, I would advise mounting it to the frame or creating a heavy steel platform to mount it too. Don't trust wood to hold it against pulling force.

Yes, if you install the optional Toyota deck rail system in the bed, my truck did not have this option so I had to buy this first. The cover mounts to this. We love ours!

You might get lucky and the freight truck has a tailgate lift. I was not so lucky, but the driver was willing to help me carry it to the garage. It's best if you can have a buddy there for the delivery.

I have a Toyota Tacoma. The tailgate is 32 inches from the ground. My 11 year old Chocolate Lab uses it with no problems.

It will work for now, Once you get in to the bigger tires it starts pushing the weight limit for the tailgate. It works great for a short term fix. I got it to use for now, until I can get my swing gate. :) I haven't noticed any problems with the weight/tailgate issue though.

So far I have had mine for 5 months and it has been great. Makes my 4.8 run like a 5.3 or maybe a little more. I just used it to tow my 26' camp trailer with no issues. Haven't had any trouble.

I have a western plow on my truck and t handles it great. Even full off salt it hardly lowers the tuck bed. I just used all the hardware off the old springs. I should have taken my existing lift off because it does raise the truck. They have worked great for me. Good luck

i used it on a Chevy Equinox and it did ride low. I had to shim it to keep it from dipping in the back. There is no way to do much more than that. I didn't have much weight in it at all and it still hung low in the back. I got my hitch from UHaul and the unit fit but not tight. I only used it once and was done with it. If I could have found a way to roof mount it!

Get the higher rated one; this one works well on a tractor we own, but you would need a larger rating for your pickup. Sorry since it's currently on the tractor, we can't measure it, but my husband believes it's from 6-8'. from Grant C.

The mat is heavy and lays flat on the bed of the pickup and fits the bed perfectly. I've had bed mats in my last two pickups neither of which fit as well as this one, (both had to be cut to fit) and I never had either of them move. I wouldn't worry about it blowing out.

No you have to drill holes through the bed of your pickup. Really not as bad as it sounds.

Some, you cannot load things in the bed all the way to the tailgate where the ladder is attached. I have a shortbed and longer items I put the tailgate up and rest them on the tailgate and strap it down. The ladder is great and it is well worth the inconvenience you will sometime experience when loading.
