Good overall. Two disappointments though, several of the plastic parts arrived from shipping broken. Also we have only used it once on a camper trip with rain and it’s now has rust.
Hi Christopher, Sorry to hear about those broken and rusted parts. We will have customer service contact you ASAP to get those parts replaced.
It’s a great rack. Took a bit to get everything set up just right but now I can load three bikes and hit the road in less than 10 minutes. Love being able to drag my Cornhole boards, generators, camp chairs and fire wood in the bed of the truck and the bikes are up and out of the way.
A well designed product. I bought this so I could still tow a trailer and bring my bikes or still use the bed of my truck. Easy to use and keeps bikes secure.
A note mine was damaged in shipping and aero immediately sent me out a replacement. Not only is their product great their customer service is amazing. Would buy again and recommend buying from this company.
The best use of space on a truck for a bike rack! Plus a team that really helps the customary!!
I had looked at a Yakima and Thule system and just wasn’t impressed with the quality for the cost. I did some research on Let’s Go Aero and called them a couple of times with questions I had about this system. The customer service was top notch and I decided to order the Full Nelson for my Ford F-150. I’m beyond impressed with the quality of the material. It came well packaged and arrived in about 10 days. It took me about an hour to initially set up the rack and get my large frame 29er on it and to get on the road. The bike sits well above the truck bed and bed sides and it didn’t move at all at 80 mph down the highway. I found it easy to get on and off my truck from the ground (I’m fairly tall at about 6’1). Having access to my truck bed while the bikes are attached was important for my needs. This gives me that and I’m so happy with this purchase. I definitely recommend this system.
I have a ford F150 short bed and am looking to put four adult bikes on the rack. What set up do I need? Also I have a roll op Tonneau cover, would I still be able to use the bike racks when cover is closed or will I have to travel with cover open?
Hello Angel,
For mounting 4 bikes onto your Ford F-150 domestic truck bed, you will need either the Full Nelson (B01427) or Three-Quarter Nelson (B01533) bike rack, and an additional SpinWing Add-On (B01823). The difference between the bike racks come down to preference on how you'd like the rack mounted onto the bed- either with the two fixed position of Three-Quarter, or the more flexible mounting bar of Full Nelson. Our only tonneau cover solution at this time is for the Full Nelson and requires a cover with a C-channel system to mount the rack into the channels versus the flat bed side walls. Otherwise, the racks will obstruct the tonneau cover's path along the side walls and preventit from fully sealing.
Why would I need a Nelson Tie-Off Kit? Is the full Nelson unstable when hauling?
Most people don't need it. The tie-off kit is only used increasing the weight limit for some accessories like our kayak mounts or for off-road use. Out of the box, the Full Nelson is rated for use on 'improved roads" (dirt roads with wash boards etc.).
Is drilling of holes required to attach to side rails of 2023 Chevrolet Silverado truck
No, there is absolutely no drilling required. In fact, the Full Nelson installs and assembles completely tool-free.
