Phil,
I have the same truck as you and my America will fit. Don't worry the tailgate it can take it. Do a normal tie down on the front of the bike and just strap the rear tire so that it cannot move side to side.
If you are worried about the tailgate then you can get a aluminum rail that runs the length of the bed/tailgate, so the bikes wheels can ride in. You will have to secure the aluminum rail to make sure it doesn't slide.
