This rack installs in minutes. You can rack a bike in about 10 seconds. The only downside I can see is that they are easy to steal so i use a cable lock to tie them in to the truck. I bought two for my tundra.

The insta-gator will not work on a bike with a front fender. That I discovered only by looking at the installation picture (no fender on the bike used). The other (minor) problem is that my truck bed is high off the ground and my bike heavy. That means I have to open the tailgate to load / unload the bike. When I do that, the insta-gator comes loose and that means it has to be re-adjusted when the tailgate goes up again. For daily use, I found this annoying. However, once adjusted and the bike in place, it is secure and does a good job of holding the bike.

It is so nice when you buy a product and it works exactly as it claims to. I use this with my 29er in an 2006 Longbed F150 and it works perfectly. BTW, I also purchased the Topline Add-a-bike clamp ($30) to use with this so that you can use this rack to carry two bikes as well.
