Pickup with cap, anyone have and do fork mounted bikes fit?

[chuprinko]

Hi all, hoping someone else has a Silverado 1500 with a cab height cap on it. If so, do they fit upright with a fork mount? Hoping I don't need a mid or high rise cap (for looks and mpg's). I know each brand will have a different rear glass height, but asking in general if they fit.

Take the front wheel off your bike, drop the saddle and measure it, see if the cap your looking at plus your bed makes the cut.

Fit in my Tacoma with a cab height cap no problem. Used a rocky mounts fork mount bolted to a 2x4 that ran the width of the bed. Dropper had to be down. My uncle has a 1500 sierra and his road bikes fit no problem with the front wheel off

Thanks for the info. I may need to get a dropper for the road bike so it can fit.

I had a standard roof height cap on my old 2000 F-150 with fork mount holders without any height issues. When I sold that truck in 2013 I was still using QR forks, 26” wheels, and narrower bars. Dropper seatposts should solve any ceiling clearance issues.

Unless you’re super tall I don’t think seat height will be an issue.

I wouldn't waste money on a dropper for a road bike, just get a super cool salsa quick release seat clamp.
