Product Reviews
Yakima BedHead Truck Rack Locking



Locking Bedhead is a Dud
Despite Yakima's claim that this product locks your bike to your truck, the Locking Bedhead does NOT lock nor secure your bike whatsoever. This is truly a case of false advertisement. Any idiot can steal your bike even though it is supposedly "locked". No tools or vandalism are needed to steal your bike. The nut can easily be twisted off and the skewer removed even though it is supposedly "locked". You might as well purchase the regular Bedhead for $20 less since the "locking" version really does not provide additional security.


This worked great!
I installed these on my 2002 Dodge Ram with a sprayed in bedliner. The clamps held tight for over 1000 miles. The rest of the bed of the truck bed was free to haul other equipment. They are also compact for storage in the off season.


Not A Good Fit
I installed the BedHead on my 2001 Tundra with dealer installed bedliner. The device would not work on the hard plastic rails, so I had to cut out a section and install it to the metal rail. The fit is not that great. The unit will roll off the rail with a good tug. I initially tied down the bike to the stock tie-downs on the opposite side of the truck bed. After a few hours of driving I noticed the unit was rolling off the rail again. I eventually redid the rigging to use the tie-downs on the same side of the bed, along with a single tie to to opposite side. I'm either going to figure out a way to bolt the rack to the bed rail or return this unit for a bolt-on version.
