^^ THIS ^^ I have 4 Pitbull TRS systems. 3 for my trailer and one for in the bed of my truck. I also have a couple of the Canyon Dancer bar end loops to use with tie downs if I have to.
Tie Downs fit 2020 V4s?

Is a standard bed Tacoma long enough for the bike or do you need to keep the tailgate down?

I have the 6 foot bed and use a ready ramp that acts like a tailgate extension. I also use a little folding RV step and it allows me to start the bike and walk it into the back. Next time I load the bike I will take a picture.

@Desmolvr
I almost want to do a pitbull restraint system, it will eliminate lots of stuff; haven't figured out if I should use it to the side or center of the bed.
@jkeown
every one system is different somewhat, I have two ramps, one to walk on and one for the bike to roll on;
too chicken .... just using one ramp with steps.

I may have to go to two ramps at some point at almost 58 it is getting tricky to walk the bike into the truck.
trust me, you do want to get the Pitbull system, it’s fantastic

Pretty easy to load with the TRS in place? Did you just drill through the bed?

Very easy.....dropped the spare tire down and added a plate on the bottom of the bed also. Tacomas have a composite/plastic bed, wanted to make sure the mount was secure. I have a bed rug that goes over the plate when not hauling a bike.

Has anyone tried an Acebikes TyreFix? I just ordered one. Looks like a neat option for the rear end.

Going to pick one up as I have been wanting to get a light rear subframe but none of them have a way to use the hooks.

If your a member of Wera,call Jimmy @ Sportbiketrackgear. I think the last two sets I bought were like $283 shipped each. That included pins for my Jap bikes. Price might be a little higher if you get pins for a Ducati.
Also might have to wait a couple weeks since Pitbull was behind on production.

Yes, I have and it works well!!!
It is proper tested and reliable, the roads here are not great and I can drive 160km/h easily on the highway !! Also did a lot of twisty roads on the same speed I drive without a bike at the back and it doesn't move an inch!!
I'm using shockstrap on the front and they are very good too. Better than any other tie down straps I've used before.
