I'd happily trade my 4-bike hitch rack for this Fox tailgate pad

Just cut a hole in it for your backup cam and latch.
Also, cardboard is free.

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.
