    Yes, I sold my '13 Taco. :'(
    The new Dakines don't have the raised side blocks, but now have integrated anchor straps for the downtubes to prevent bikes from moving side to side. I like this pad since it has really soft material backing to minimize paint chafing over time. It's probably the most expensive truck pad on the market. $90-$110 depending where you find it. The anchor straps are a recent revision so if you find one below $90, it probably is old stock w/o anchor straps.

    http://dakine.com/p/bike/pick-up-pads/pick-up-pad---small?clr=PLP


    Softride makes a nice pad for $89 which is damn near identical to the Dakine but adds 1 more attachment strap(4 instead of 3 on most pads) and is NOT backed with soft material to prevent scratching. It has anchor straps. I had one of these on my 95. It worked ok, just wished they put soft backing to stop paint chafing.

    http://store.softride.com/p/softride-shuttle-pad-small


    IMO Thule makes the best bike pad for the money out at the moment. It has both side blocks AND anchor straps and comes in around $89-90.

    Paint matched up pretty well with the rest of the car, but the dull paint on the front bumper is annoying. I'm very happy with it though.

    First thing after purchase was seat covers, then Nfab light bar, 2 KC spots and 2 driving. I took the battery powered bed lights I had in my other truck and put them on this one. I plan to do a LED rope one day. Also, a set of Hellwig 550s.

    I paid $78 for my Yakima from Amazon.com.

    You can't go wrong with any of the three. Yakima, Thule, Dakine are all well built. All have soft terry fabric against the tailgate. The straps on the Dakine are a great idea - maintains separation between bikes.

    The Thule access flap looked higher than the Yakima. I was concerned that it wouldn't line up very well. That's why I chose the Yakima. My Yakima flap lines up perfect with the handle. And it was only $78! If I had more time, I might have gotten the Dakine, but I needed one quick for this weekend.

    The Softride gets some bad reviews.

    Yeah me too. Then I cheaped out and got 265s and regret it every time I look at my truck. Oh well. Soon enough I'm gonna do 1" spacers and 285s
