3 bikes in F150 without the tail gate

I have a race this weekend and we are three guy's going at the race. I can't have the tail gate because I also tow a starcraft popup tent trailer and the tailgate will knock the hitch lifter.

Question : Will three bikes fit in the pick up without the tailgate ?

Bikes - KX250 2002, DR400 2003 and KDX220 2001

Thanks for the input !

Sure, why do you need the tailgate for three bikes anyways? Well, I should rephrase, you can probalby fit them. I know we've had three bikes in an F-250. You will probalby have to shift them around a bit, but it should work out. Maybe the two on the outside to lean a bit towards the outside, to leave room for the middle bike. Different stuff like that could work. Toss 'em in there and see.

We jammed 3 bikes in my chevy truck. Just use something(toolbox,cooler) to set the middle bike back farther from the cab so they aren't all fighting for the same handlebar space and it should fit.

i've done this in my f-150 several times, due to towing a camper, w/no probs. i have a supercab with the 6 3/4' bed. i put 2 on the outside facing forward, 1 in the middle facing backward. ran a security cable thru the wheels for security. didn't space the middle bike back b/c there's not much extra length as it is, the wheels overhang the edge of the bed.
