Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Hanging Style
I've owned this bike rack for about one year now and used it many times with 1 or 2 bikes on it. With the supplied stabilizing strap it's very stable with one or two bikes. The setup for my vehicle was quick and installing and removing it is takes only a moment. I upgraded my vehicle by year and it works perfectly with my 2013 Equinox and my 2021 Equinox.
Easy to install and user friendly! Highly recommended.

Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Great bike rake! We bought it when we got into biking and have been very pleased with it. Only takes a few minutes to put together out of the box. folds up to stay compact or down to access your back hatch. I was a little worried when we bought it that it would stick out further then out vehicle (Chevy Equinox) but it fits it very well. We moved 1,200 miles with both bikes on this rack and had no issues. We keep our rack on all year long and the only wear it shows is a few surface rust spots on the upright post. I spray down the upright post and the ratcheting components every couple months to keep the components working well and to get rid of the mentioned surface rust.
Great bike rack. Very easy to put together and use. Easy to get bikes on and off, keeps bikes very secure. The only issue with the rack is the plastic knobs that come with it to tighten and loosen the wheel base holders. These are hard to get tight enough by hand, you are better off just removing the plastic knobs (or not installing them in the first place) and simply using a wrench to tighten or loosen the bolts. Other than this issue, I would highly recommend this bike rack.

Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
This is a great rack. Easy assembly. Easy installation. The bike doesn't move. I drove over three hundred miles with the bike on it the first time I used it. Never moved. The locking hitch bolt means I don't have to worry about someone taking it when I'm not around. The people at etrailer were great about letting me know when it was shipped and following up with me about how everything was when it was received. I will definitely do business with them again.
Best rack on the market as far as I'm concerned. I only got to use it a couple of times before replacing the Chevrolet Equinox with a Smart Car. So it sits in my garage unused

Thule Hitching Post Pro Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches
An outstanding hitch bike rack. It was easy to assemble and intall. etrailer made is simple to order. I am very satisfied and look forward to Future car trips with our bikes
Good bike rack for car. Very sturdy. Nice it has a pin and clip for the top and bottom of the back rack so you can lower the arms without using bolts. The only downside and its nothing major is the anti sway bars that are shown in the directions and also on the box are not the ones that come with the kit. The ones in the directions and on the box have two holders on each side where the strap goes into, but the ones that come with the kit only have one set of holders. Not a big deal, the image one the web page shows what came with the rack.

Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount
Works well for transporting two 29" wheeled mountain bikes. However, after one year it's starting to rust in several areas (see attached photos), and the front wheel arms are becoming increasingly difficult to raise and lower. Finally the locking cable is extremely rusty as you can see in the attached photo. I'm not sure how durable this rack will be long term.
We have had this bike rack for one year and use it every week-end. My wife has a Trek e-bike (52 lbs) and I have a regular Trek hybrid (23 lbs). The rack is very sturdy and I have no issues driving at highway speeds, there is no movement of the bikes. Very easy to load and unload.

Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
So far I’ve just assembled it and took a quick test drive around the block. My initial thought is this thing is perfect. It’s super sturdy and easy to use. My only gripe and it’s not fault of the rack, but it’s heavy…
If you've done any research or read any of the other comments on either this rack, or this seller...rest assured they really are as good as everyone says! I ordered my rack on around 4pm est on a Friday afternoon and within an hour I received an email that said they have shipped my product AND upgraded to priority shipping. Can't say enough positive things about the customer service! When the rack arrived, it took me a little over half an hour to get it set up. Probably would e been faster if I were even slightly mechanically inclined (or if didn't I didn't have to borrow a socket wrench from my neighbor). We finally had an opportunity to load up the bikes and head out for a ride today. As others have said, the first time you load up your bikes, it's kind of like a puzzle to get them situated. Took about 15 minutes. This rack is awesome! Very sturdy and the bikes were very secure. Only racks I have had in the past were rooftop fork mount racks. This is so much easier! On e we got to the trail (over an hour drive) getting the bikes off was a piece of cake. Afterwards, it was time to load them back up and it was less than 5 minutes to get them all on and ready to hit the road. There were other 4-bike racks on the website, but this one had enough great reviews that I felt comfortable making the purchase. After the fact, I'm very glad I did! I can't imagine the $800 rack can be that much better than this, and I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a 4-bike platform rack. I will definitely recommend this rack and etrailer.com to everyone I know.
