From Dakine, the Pickup Pad DLX in Black, Large is engineered for weekend shuttle days and everyday trail trips.

The soft fabric against bike frames and the sturdy strap system create a reassuring feel when loading gear after a muddy ride. This pad is designed to support your bikes and your vehicle on the way to the trailhead, with comfort and security in mind.

Easy setup and secure transport

• Drop the pad onto the tailgate in minutes, then secure bikes with reinforced straps and cam-action buckles for quick, confident loading.
• Built-in security grommet lets you lock the pad to your truck, adding an extra layer of security in crowded parking areas.
• Stiffened ends on the straps help with installation under the tailgate, making it faster to secure or remove between trips.

Smart design for bike safety and truck protection

• Soft fabric lining cushions frame contact points and protects your bumper from scratches during transport.
• The back opening stays accessible to the tailgate handle and backup camera while the pad remains in place, thanks to a Velcro closure and a smart layout.
