That is a one off set up in that pic. however, it does look GREAT, but way impractical. I have my MTN Bikes mounted like that and it's a PIA just to get those 36lb biks up there. Try that with a 300lb bike. than their's just getting it up to the tailgate height. OK, so I checked out to see if this would work, and the answer is NO. The handlebars sit up too high to fit into the back portion of the tuck (part where the seats normally are). You could put a fullsize GOBI rack with the tire up top and remove your spare mount all together. The license plate mount is easy to do yourself. I can show you how to do that. I relocated mine to the bumper becasue I didn't like the stock plastic mount it came with. But than you still have the issue of fitting the bike into the cargo area. I think your stuck with the trailer setup. On a better note, it will be easy to get the bike on and off a trailer.
Let me know if you have Q's on the license plate relocation or Gobi stuff,
Tim.
