I'd happily trade my 4-bike hitch rack for this Fox tailgate pad
(www.singletracks.com)
Just cut a hole in it for your backup cam and latch.
Also, cardboard is free.
Yea, but you don't get a little furry logo with it
Marker one on for free.99
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.

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.
