I always say pickup trucks make the best Christmas presents.

Throw the stick!!!!
But when you aren't travelling you can keep it safer in the bed and less chance of backing into something with it.

Performance Bikes makes a removable one for about $55. I have it in my truck, then when on biking trips, I can take it off and put it in my other friends truck and double up on bikes fitted in there.

I use a hitch mounted rack on my pickup and I think it works great; yours seems a little easier as mine carries the bikes by the toptubes and they hang down. I have to secure the wheels from spinning. I can, and do, transport 6 bikes using 3 in the bed and 3 in the rack or I can load the bed up with luggage/picnic stuff/camping stuff/coolers full of beverages or anything else and also carry three or four bikes on the rack.

, but that was my first road bike (an '09 1.5 which is the current 2.3).
I have to agree, I haven't seen a better graphics job since 2009 until now.
Very nice 2.3. I like it.
Oh, and I definitely like the Ranger too.
