The good: I like the way the bikes are held in and the ability to add the upright adapters to the bike frame holders. The straps are quality too. For a jeep with a spare tire, this is the perfect length to clear it. This rack is 5 stars from the bike holders to the base of it. The bad: the 2"receiver adapter and bolt are insufficient. I wish they made this in a solid 2" hitch. The entire setup is held into the receiver by a very short bolt. It only goes about half way into the receiver tube. So your hitch is only "secured" on one side. A hitch pin or bolt should go through the receiver tube completely imo so it can be secured on the other end with a retaining clip or nut. Because this only goes in the one side, the entire weight of the rack plus bikes are held tight to one side of the receiver by the undersized bolt and washer. A few bumps down the road and that bolt loosens. Now instead of distibuting the weight of the rack and bikes on the receiver and post, it's completely up to the bolt to keep you from losing the rack. The bolt threads get damaged too. I took this down a dirt road and nearly lost everything. I had to buy my own bolt with hd fender washers and lock washers to correct this. Thule should've provided this from the start. The current short bolt design where only one side of the receiver secures the rack is unacceptable. This rack is 1 star at best for the connection to the receiver.

Hitch pin broke before I got it. Looks like a poor design for the locking pin, they might want to consider a different design. I got a 3/8 shear pin from Home Depot to replace and it works great. Bike rack is great!

First-time rack buyer / owner / installer. The rack arrived in a timely fashion, maybe a day or 2 ahead of schedule. It was well packaged. I’m LOVING this bike rack. It was easy to put together and to mount on my new Honda Passport. Thus far, no squeaks in my 2” receiver. Hardest part of initial set-up is figuring out the best way to position two bikes. Trial & error and some patience. The directions weren’t clear as to where the 2 left-over screws went. I found the answer in another review and have posted a pic in case others have the same problem (photo with pen pointing at screw). These screws go in the underneath side of both of the folding arms. They appear to keep the wheel wells from sliding off in case in you drive with an empty, un-folded rack, and forgot to tighten down the wheel wells. The folding arm push / pull pins can be difficult at times. I coated the tips with some lube. That and a little jiggling seems to solve that issue. I guess it’s better for the pins to be snug vs popping right out. I added a small Master lock to the hitch pin (in lieu of the provided cotter pin) as a theft deterrent. I read that a 3/16 shackle lock will fit into the bike clamp down arms to also act as a deterrent. I had an old 3/16 lock that did snugly fit and appeared to be locked. HOWEVER, I yanked on the lock and it came open as there isn’t quite enough clearance for the shackle to lock. I discovered that longer 3/16 shackle locks are hard to find. Have attached a photo of the lock that actually fits and works (Ace Hardware). One lock on the upper clamp down arm will secure both arms as the lower arm can’t be removed without removing the upper arm. The clamp down arms appear to be coated to prevent damage to your bike. I’ve tried a simple rag and ultimately settled on pool noodle pieces as a precautionary measure. I CAN NOT open my tailgate (regardless of whether or not the rack is fold up and in the bike carry position). If that’s a concern for you, then spring for the more costly titling version. My back-up camera still functions.

The Swagman XTC-2 platform bike carrier arrived very quickly from etrailer and in good shape, the actual carrier box is inside another shipper box, which I'm sure helped with its condition. Assembly was relatively quick and painless, even though the instructions could be a little more thorough. Installing the carrier on the back of our Jeep Patriot also was quick, it helps to have an extra ratchet & 3/4" socket laying around for just this purpose. Installing the bikes takes a little patience and trial and error the first time you try and put them on the carrier. It's easy enough to adjust the wheel holders to fit the wheelbase of your bikes, but for us at least, the challenge was trying to swing the vertical support bar up into position after putting on the first bike (closest to the Jeep). We couldn't angle the bike enough toward the Jeep to have the bar clear the bike. We learned that the easiest way to secure the first bike was to remove the ratcheting frame hooks altogether, put the bike in the carrier, swing up the vertical support bar, put in the pin, and then slide one of the frame hooks down on the bar. The outside bike is much easier because you can set the bike in the carrier at whatever angle you need, not being limited by the back of the vehicle. One thing we did to protect the bike frames was to use some foam pipe insulation as cushion between the frame hook and the frame (see pictures). Once you get a system for installing the bikes, it is very quick to load/unload them. The rack seems to be well made and doesn't wiggle excessively when traveling. All in all a good product for a good price, would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a platform bike carrier.

Truly grooving on my wife's new Swagman Chinook bike rack. She wanted to be able to transport her nice road bike easily without throwing it in the back of her car, and since a roof rack is out of the question, this Swagman model fit the bill perfectly. It arrived quickly on the anticipated date. Kudos to etrailer.com for the email updates to keep me informed of my purchase. Within one hour, it was installed on my wife's 2014 Mazda3 hatchback. The Swagman is heavy and solid, which is reassuring as it makes me feel confident that it will keep the bikes secure. It also makes me feel like I got my money's worth. A ratchet wrench and Phillip's head screwdriver were the only tools required for the easy install. I did my research before purchasing the Chinook model as I was also eyeballing a very similar Thule rack that was slightly more expensive. I spoke with an etrailer.com expert who gave me the lowdown on both models. Ultimately, the Swagman won out because it has a smaller 'footprint' while extended or folded up ... and also can tilt away from the car for easy access to the hatchback area. Very convenient! FYI: Mazda doesn't make a trailer hitch for the Mazda3 as it's a small car with a small engine and has no business towing anything. Thankfully, the Curt company makes an aftermarket frame and trailer hitch that fits the Mazda3 hatchback perfectly with no drilling. Stupidly, I purchased it from another online company thinking I was getting a good deal. Turns out etrailer.com had it for less with FREE shipping. Oh well ... live and learn. Now I know that etrailer.com is one-stop shopping for bike racks AND trailer hitches. (Full disclosure: I had the garage down the street install the frame as it's easier with a lift) Only snafu: the shipment contained an extra set of keys that I assumed was for the hitch bolt lock (there was also a set of keys on the bolt itself). I spent 15 minutes using those keys trying to figure out how to remove the lock from the bolt to install it on the hitch. The keys just wouldn't turn in the lock. I called etrailer.com and Kevin told me to try the other set of keys ... and they worked. So an extra set of keys came with it that did absolutely nothing ... weird! Obviously, I can't speak to the longevity and durability of the Swagman Chinook 2 Bike Platform Rack as I just installed it. What I can speak to is the sturdiness of it, the ease of the installation and my complete satisfaction with the good folks at etrailer.com.

I ordered the Swagman Chinook 2 Bike Platform Rack on line from etrailer and so far have been very satisfied. The bike rack was delivered in less than a week. Unpacking the rack and assembly was fairly straightforward. I have read some reviews that complained the assembly instructions were a bit vague. I didn't have a problem but can see where others without a mechanical background get confused. The rack is very sturdy, but there is some side to side play in the tilt mechanism. I'm not sure this can be avoided with a rack that folds down. Installing the Curt trunk stabilizing strap takes most of the sway out of the rack. Installation is fairly easy and quick. It takes me 6 - 7 minutes to install the back on my hitch, and to install the bike and be ready to drive away. That seems reasonable to me. So far I've only loaded 1 bike. I've included pictures of my installation on a 2014 Mercedes Benz E350 sedan. Clearance between the bikes, the rack and the car are good. With the bike loaded in the inside, most forward position, I have 6" clearance between the pedal and the bumper. With the bike removed, the center support folded flat and the rack folded up in the storage position, I have 4" clearance between the closest part of the bike rack (the fold down hinge assembly) and the back bumper of the car. I am able to open the trunk of the car without removing the bikes or using the tilt feature, but I do have to remove the stabilizing strap first. Overall, I'm very pleased with the bike rack and think it will serve me much better than my old strap on rack. Since the weather has been cool since getting the bike carrier, I haven't taken any long trips to give it a real workout.

etrailer has the best pre- and post-sales customer service I've ever seen! I started out not knowing anything about hitch-mounted racks. So I wrote to etrailer telling them about my car and type of hitch I was about to have installed. Samuel wrote back with lots of great information tailored specifically to my car. He even included a photo that looked just like my 2017 white VW GTI with a hitch and rack installed. Okay something of a coincidence. But the rest of the assistance I got from the crew at etrailer was just as prophetic. I went into this a novice and came out knowing lots more about hitches and racks and finding the rack best suited to my situation. I have a small car, a class 1 hitch and a heavy mountain bike. I got exactly what I needed. As to the Swagman rack itself, it works fine. If I had a different situation I would probably buy a platform rack as they are easier to load. There's no reason to buy a bike rack anywhere else.

First off, thanks to Jason T. or "Troop". The exemplary customer service he provided is rare these days. Troop made several calls to the various manufacturers to ascertain which bike rack would afford me the most ground clearance as my new VW Golf sits low to the ground and my old bike rack frequently scraped the ground when I went up even a slight up hill grade. His efforts paid off as he found me the best bike rack for my car, the Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Carrier. It sits up off the ground just high enough that it doesn't scrape on my driveway. It is also sturdy and holds my bikes securely. And, the delivery was amazingly fast. I had my rack in about 2 days! Note to Troop, see my Pittsburgh Pirates Logo on my bumper in the attached pictures? Pirate Fans persevere! The Bucco's will be coming after your Cardinals this year! Thanks again Troop!

Check out my other review on the hidden hitch for a 2015 BMW 4 Series for the majority of the review, but this thing is great. Easy setup and install, does all the things it's supposed to do. Mounting and removing bikes is a snap with the included clips (big difference from some of the cheaper variants with nylon ratchet straps). Fits very snugly in my 2" receiver, and pretty solid on the highway and over bumpy roads.

The rack itself is fantastic. Not too heavy, easy to attach to hitch, and very easy setup. The only real downside is if your bicycles don't have a standard frame, you'll need to buy the Yakima Tube Top Bike Adapter Bars (~$50 each) in order to be able to mount them on the rack. I will say that smaller bikes (for my 9 year old) can be a challenge to mount with larger bikes as you'll need to finagle the handle bars and such to get them to line up but once you do it a few times you figure it out.

Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack Review - 2022 Ford Edge
Hi everybody, Cooper here from etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at our Kuat Sherpa on our 2022 Ford Edge. Our bike rack here is going to be a platform style bike rack weighted at 40 pounds for each bike and is going to be contactless frame support, meaning that's going to be great for our carbon frame bikes and our alternative frame bikes as well. In order to engage our tilt away function, we're just gonna go ahead and lift up a little bit on that, allowing us to disengage our lever here, and then just tilt our bike rack away from our vehicle which is going to allow us access into our trunk. Now it's not really enough room to sit down and maybe change my shoes, but it does allow me access into the trunk itself to maybe pick up my shoes or pick up my helmet or my lunch. Now, in order to get our bike frame back up, we're just gonna go ahead and grab it, lift up until we hear that click sound and that means it's back into place.
RockyMounts HighNoon FC 3 Bike Rack Review - 2022 Ford Edge
Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we have the RockyMounts HighNoon FC 3 Bike Platform Rack. We're gonna take a look at how it fits our 2022 Ford Edge. This is a very versatile bike rack, great for carrying around bikes in different shapes and sizes. If you're familiar with the Rocky Mounts MonoRail, this is gonna be very similar with another added feature though, which is going to be fender capability. So if you have to carry around bikes with fenders, but maybe you're also carrying around heavier bikes or carbon fiber frame bikes, this is gonna be a good action for you. Now with this being a longer rack though, there are some differences when it comes to how it fits your car.
RockyMounts MonoRail 2 Bike Platform Rack Review - 2022 Ford Edge
What's up everybody Cooper here with Etrailer and today we're going to be taking a look at our Rocky Mounts MonoRail on our 2022 Ford Edge. Our bike rack here is going to be a platform style bike rack that can hold up to two bikes. They're gonna be individually weight rated at 60 pounds each. And then also it's going to be held frameless style, which is going to be really good for our carbon frame bikes, our alternative frame bikes, and our e-bikes as well. Our bike rack actually comes with a tilt away feature too, as well. In order to do that, we're just going to engage our handle right here.
Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack Review - 2022 Ford Edge
Hey, everybody. Cooper here from etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at our Kuat NV 2.0 on our 2022 Ford Edge. Our Kuat bike rack here is going to be able to hold two bikes, both weighted about 60 pounds each, and is also frameless contact. So for our alternative frame bikes like carbon and e-bikes, there's going to be able to hold those bikes too as well. If we are gonna want access into our trunk, though, we are gonna have to tilt this bike rack away.
Yakima Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2022 Ford Edge
Hey, it's Ethan here at E-trailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Yakima FullTilt hitch bike rack and how it fits on our 2022 Ford Edge. The FullTilt is going to be a hanging style bike rack capable of holding five bikes. In this case, up to 150 pounds total. So because it is a hanging style rack that's going to make primary contact and hold onto our bikes by the top tube here. So if you have a carbon frame bike, we would recommend against using this because it will make that frame contact.

It's gonna be a platform style bike rack, so it's gonna hold the bike up primarily by the tray and these cradles here. Primary point of contact holding onto your bike is going to be these frame clamps here, frame hooked rather, on this center mast.

Now, again, we're going to be able to carry up to two bikes with this to and from the trail with our Swagman here.Now, the way it's going to hold everything in place those wheel hooks, we're just going to ratchet down, and then on each one of the wheel hoops here, we're going to have a strap. We're going to pull our bike off, so we could take a little bit of a closer look.
Ford Edge Bike Rack Questions
- Yes! My absolute favorite for e-bikes is the Inno Tire Hold # INH120. I have a review video attached below where I try it out on a 2018 Ford Edge if you want to see how it looks and works on your car.
The Inno Tire Hold has a 60 lbs per bike weight capacity. My favorite thing about it is how easy and fast it is to mount and dismount your bike, and that you don't have to lift it as high up over a mast. In the video, you can see how the tilt-away feature allows access to your...
view full answer... - I've got the perfect solution for you; have a look at the Kuat Transfer V2 1-Bike Rack # KU64FR which fits on both 1-1/4" and 2" receivers and is designed and rated specifically for flat towed vehicles. This is a wheel mounted bike rack, so there's no bike frame adapter bar needed if you've got a bike with an aggressive step-through frame, and it comes with locks to secure the bike to the rack and the rack to the vehicle.
view full answer... - The Yakima HoldUp 2-Bike Rack for 2" Hitches # Y02443 will not interfere with the backup camera of your 2019 Ford Edge when there are no bikes on the rack and the arms are folded down (like in the accompanying photo). With the arms up and bikes on, it is very likely to interfere with the back up camera, though this is going to be true of any bike rack for your Edge.
If you need a hitch for your Edge to carry this rack I recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75234.

view full answer... - The Thule Doubletrack Bike Rack part # TH92BJ cannot tilt back with bikes loaded to give additional access to rear cargo door of your 2019 Ford Edge. It's folding feature allows it to fold up.
It's a big jump in price but the Thule Helium part # TH44VR can tilt back.
view full answer... - We actually have a lock kit from RockyMounts that works with the bike rack part # RKY10223 with the part # RKY10224 but the Saris you mentioned would not work with that bike rack.
view full answer... - A bike rack installed on the hitch of a vehicle being flat towed would not cause significant additional weight or drag. If you were in a situation where a bike rack would cause a problem you'd already be on the verge of a significant problem as-is. Easiest solution is to use the Swagman RV approved bike rack in the hitch of your Ford Edge and you'd be totally fine.
view full answer... - The rear hatch of your 2018 Ford Edge wouldn't be able to open with a bike rack folded up because there isn't enough clearance, though that is true of any bike rack, including the Hollywood rack you asked about:
- Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Bike Rack # HR1450Z
Having said that, the # HR1450Z will allow your rear hatch to open up in a couple other ways. One is you can just fold the mast down by pulling a pin on the mast, or you can tilt it back, which is also done with...
view full answer... - Yes it will. Thule's EasyFold platform rack # TH903202 is cleverly designed to adapt to all sort of bike styles and it works great for e-bikes that have fenders. The EasyFold has adjustable clamps that hold the bikes either by the frame tube or the seat post, not by the wheels, so fenders or no fenders it will safely secure your electric bike.
The EasyFold is a class-leading premium carrier that may well be the last one you ever need to buy since it packs together flexibility...
view full answer... - I have some great bike rack options for Specialized Haibike Xduro Trekking Bikes but to help narrow down the list of options, wheel mount racks will be out of the question as if the wheel hooks are not wedged between the fork and tire they can slip down and you will lose the bikes.
I recommend the Saris Freedom 2 Bike Platform Rack part # SA4412B which is very easy to get on and off the vehicle as it only weighs 22.5 lbs.If you want to add locks you can use part # SA981 and...
view full answer... - You can mount a women's bike on the Hollywood Racks Road Runner # HR400. If it has a horizontal cross tube like a traditional men's bike does then you should be good to go. Otherwise a bike adapter like part # HRBA-PRO should be used to help keep the bike level and increase ground clearance. This is the same for kid's bikes or bikes with alternative frame styles.
view full answer... - One of my favorite bike racks to recommend is the Saris SuperClamp EX part # SA4025F which would be great for carrying 2 bikes with your 2017 Ford Edge. This is a platform bike rack which will make loading and unloading bikes much easier than a hanging bike rack, it's lightweight, made in America, and only touches the bikes at the tire so you don't have to worry about the rack scratching any painted surfaces.
If you were in need of a hitch as well you would want the Draw Tite...

I highly recommend the Hollywood Racks Traveler 4 Bike Carrier # HR8500. This bike rack fits 4 bikes and has a weight capacity of 35 lbs per bike. There is a built-in tilting mechanism that allows the rack to tilt back away from the vehicle, giving access to the trunk on your 2017 Ford Edge. The # HR8500 will fit both 1-1/4" and 2" receivers. You can add...
view full answer... - I checked the installation videos for the various 1-1/4-inch and 2-inch hitch sizes offered for your 2017 Ford Edge, including hitch parts # 75234, # C13234 and # 75214. Most install so that there is about 5-inches of space from the hitch pin hole to the rear edge of the bumper cover. The Swagman G10 2-Bike Platform Rack # S64682 also has 5-inches of clearance when it is empty and folded up so this rack may touch the bumper cover.
For a similar Swagman frame-mount carrier that...

The Thule Camber # TH9058 will fit Class I, II or Class III hitches so it will work with the Draw-Tite hitch on your Edge.

view full answer... - To carry any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would), which in this case would be your wife's bike, I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry her bike more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
view full answer... - Yes! The RockyMounts MonoRail 2 # RKY10004 is a great rack for your electric bikes. I actually just installed one recently on a 2020 Jeep Cherokee which I attached a video review for below if you want to see how it looks on an SUV. With a capacity of 60 lbs per bike, this can carry your 55 lb bikes. Another great feature is the option to expand to three bikes with the # RKY10005 for when you want to upgrade.
I haven't test fitted this rack on a Ford Edge yet, but one thing...

The XTC-2 offers 8 inches of clearance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of the first wheel hoop. The XTC-2 comes with an anti-rattle treaded hitch pin to secure the rack, but if you are interested in a locking anti-rattle pin, you can use # S64029.

view full answer... - To mount a woman's, child's or alternative bike onto the Yakima RidgeBack # Y02457 referenced in your question (or any hanging-style rack), I recommend using the Kuat Ubar # UB01. The telescoping design will work with most bike sizes and will provide a horizontal bar for the rack to grab onto, allowing for safe and level transport of the bike.
I have attached a video review of this product for you to check out.
