Raceface T3 Tailgate Pad Bike Carrier installed look

[TygerTaco]

All - Just thought I would post some pics of the Raceface T3 tailgate pad installed on the 4G. I've not used it yet, but I thought some might want to see how the pad looks when installed.

Nice looking rig, and Bike.

I ordered the same tailgate pad. Any issues with camera visibility or backup / auto braking sensors? I threw a hitch platform rack on for a few rides last week and the truck lost it's mind... Guessing the pad is fine though.

Pad is perfect, everything works that way it should.

No issues so far - although I will state that when the bikes are loaded up, there's a chance the parking sensor looses it's mind.

With the hitch rack - here's a trick that I learned when I use my Kia Telluride (which also goes nuts with a hitch rack). Install an adapter into the towing harness that fools your computer into thinking there's a trailer attached. While I haven't tried this on the taco yet, this does work on my Kia. Here's the adapter I use:

This adapter is meant to solve some of the problems that LED lights present to computers because LED lights don't present enough load. Therefore, there's a load built into this adapter.

Note that you may also need to attach a trailer light tester to complete the circuit, but I don't think this is necessary.
