I'd happily trade my 4-bike hitch rack for this Fox tailgate pad

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

You can probably keep the hitch rack, cheap tailgate pads only cost like $50 on amazon. My cheapie is sturdy and protective.
It's so much easier than any rack and has flexibility for guests. For locking I have two beefy cables that I lock with regular padlocks, locked to a chain I have in the bed to lock other stuff. Only good for short stops though, I wouldn't leave bikes in the bed overnight.
Oh yeah, cheap moving blankets from Harbor Freight to pad in between bikes. One pad for three bikes, two for more. I've never needed a third moving pad.
