Since I can remember I’ve always loaded my bike in straight on drivers side and left tailgate down so I could see out of rear view mirror.
I have a smaller bed (5.5ft) super crew F150 now and want to switch to loading it diagonal and closing tailgate.
Question for you guys that haul this way, How do I secure bike this way so it doesn’t fall over lol?

F-150 with short box as well. Here’s one way of doing it.
Thanks guys.
Pit Row
This way the forks dont get compressed (prolongs life of fork seals) and i can close the tailgate.
Doesnt pull down on the forks, is wedged against the truck basically stands up straight on its own, and is rock solid.
The other side straps to the same point on the frame to the opposite corner of the truck.
With the front tire in one corner and the rear touching the side, sitting diagonally.
Visibility is great too. By putting the front wheel into the driver's side of the bed, you can see what's going on in the lanes to your right.
