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.

I like the overall design of this rack, but unfortunately after hauling a couple bikes around for a while the point where the crossbar connects has apparently rounded off so the rack swings back and forth. I've used rope to tie the ends of the rack to the car to stop this from getting worse, but it's inconvenient. Note: the hitch connection itself is good and solid, but the point where the crossbar connects to the bar coming from the hitch has gotten loose and there's no way that I can see to tighten it.

It works great! Easy, quick, you know. One needs to screw in the hitch bolt, for some reason, before latching it. Other than that, it makes going bike riding way easier.

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.

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!

Performed perfectly on a 140 mile round-trip in my 2017 Acura MDX. It took me a few tries to position the anchors inside the top of the hatch, but I got the hang of it and the rack did not shift at all while driving 50-60 mph on the highway.

Excellent quality! Bike rack comes fully assembled. Cam locks hold the upper support and the bike arms in position and are very easy to use.fairly useless included cable lock. Will only work if you always carry 3 bikes. I just used my cable lock and had no problems transporting my bike to the trails.

Overall I am happy with these bike carriers. They mount to the racks over the bed of my Tundra TRD Pro. Installation is simple. I think they could be just a bit sturdier because there is just a bit of wobbling when driving on bumpy roads but I'm not too worried about them coming dislodged. Take note that although they come with a cable lock to attach the bike to the carrier, the key is sold separately.

Very good product. It holds the bike securely on the roof without contacting the frame. It is easy to adjust from my road bike to my 29er mountain bike. Our drives are all relatively short, so I like that I do not need to remove the front wheel to lock in the bike. It's also nice that the SKS locking system allows me to use the same key for this rack that I use for my Yakima roof box and hitch rack. This is my first roof rack and I chose this route for a couple reasons. Some of the roads we travel to get to our trail heads are a bit rough and with a roof rack I don't have to worry about bottoming out a hitch rack hanging off the back of the vehicle. Also, it takes up less room in the garage. Our vehicle is a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee with an additional 4 inches of ground clearance. That makes it a bit of a reach for my 5'4" wife, so we take our two-step along to help her. This is my third time purchasing from etrailer, and each experience has been very good. They are a very customer service oriented company. I really appreciate all the additional information they provide on their products, especially all the videos they produce to aid in reviews, assembly, and use.

I purchased this bike rack a year ago and I use it A LOT. I had to buy and install a stabilizer because without it, the unit would sway back and forth even without a bike on it (very noisy). This makes removal more cumbersome but since I keep the hitch on year round it doesn't matter to me. The tilting function is fabulous allowing easy use of my RAV4 hatchback. I can even tilt it down with a bike on it. I got the 2 bike hitch. Plenty of room for two bikes to fit without rubbing. Lastly, the hitch has a sizable through-hole on the bottom to thread a good sized cable so I can lock my bike up. Sturdy. I highly recommend.

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.

I have ordered several products from etrailer.com, always with the same prompt delivery and email followup. I installed the Thule gutter foot mounts and rails on a 1995 Geo Tracker which we tow behind our motorhome. I have used a Draftmaster tandem bike rack for several years, but the drawback is the bike gets covered with road grime especially during rain storms. The Thules roof mounted rack should limit the amount road grime while we are on the road. I don't know this for fact, but I think the Thule roof mounted tandem rack is probably made by ATOC, the manufacturer of the Draftmaster and Tandem Topper. The Thule rail is made in the USA and there was Seattle newpapers pages stuffed in the Thule box as packing. I have visited the ATOC shop in Lynnwood, WA and like their products.

Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack Review - 2022 Toyota Venza
John here and today we're taking a look at the Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack on our 2022 Toyota Venza. This is gonna be a great choice if you need to take your mountain bikes, your electric bikes, any kind of bike that you really need. Now, right off the bat, let's go over some of the specs so you kind of have an idea of what you can put on this bike rack. And there's not too many bikes that you can't put on. Whenever it comes to how it's being held, it's being held by the back tire here with the strap and then also, this hook right here, and it's gonna be pushed up right onto the bike wheel itself. So there's gonna be no frame contact, which means if you have any carbon frame bikes or odd shaped frame bikes, you're gonna be fine to have this on there.
Hollywood Racks Destination 2 Bike Platform Rack Review - 2022 Toyota Venza
John here and today we're taking a look at the Hollywood Destination 2 bike rack on our 2022 Toyota Venza. This is gonna be a great choice if you need to just get you and a friend out to the bike trails or just to go riding at the park or anywhere else you may need to go with those smaller and lighter bikes. Now, right off the bat, whenever it comes to how it's held, it's going to be held at the frame. It's three points. One that's going to be on the frame here, and then two on the actual wheels. So you're not gonna want to use your odd-shaped frame bikes, even though I will say, it does have a little bit of movement, which is nice, but it will not also be able to go on any of your carbon frame because it could damage it.
Thule Hitching Post Pro Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2022 Toyota Venza
John here and today we're taking a look at the Thule Hitching Post Pro on our 2022 Toyota Venza. This is gonna be a great way to get you and your family out to the trail easy and no problem. Now let's take a closer look. Now, right off the bat, I want to go over a couple limitations that this bike rack has. Overall, it's really good for a hanging style bike rack. It's gonna have a 35 pound weight capacity which is relatively good.
Hollywood Racks Destination E Bike Rack Review - 2022 Toyota Venza
Hi there everyone. Today we're taking a look at the Hollywood Destination e-bike rack on our 2022 Toyota Venza. This is gonna be a great choice if you've got some heavier bikes or you have an e-bike that you want to get to the trail and you want to also be able to tilt it away and have all the premium features without having to spend an arm and a leg. Let's take a closer look. Now with a 70 pound weight capacity and a 50 inch wheel base this is going to be able to hold most types of bikes that you may have whether that be your bigger mountain bikes or if you happen to have an e-bike, which the name comes from it's going to be able to take that and which is really nice. I will say though, it is being held by the frame right here and then it's also being held at three different points on the wheels.
Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Toyota Venza
Hey everybody, welcome to etrailer.com. I'm Bobby, and today we're taking a look at the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 here on the back of our 2021 Toyota Venza. So this is going to be a very nice way of getting two of your bikes, wherever destination might be taking you. Now, I will say, this is going to be for your more medium sized adventures. And what I mean by that, we are gonna have 840 pound capacity rating here for each one of our bikes on our platform. And it is going to be a little limiting on your wheel basis with only about 47 inches at your max.
Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Toyota Venza nv22g
Hey, everybody, welcome to etrailer.com, I'm Bobby, and today, we're taking a look at the Kuat NV 2.0 here in the back of our 2021 Toyota Venza. So this is gonna be the premier two-bike platform rack carrier here at etrailer.com for a lot of reasons, the Kuat NV has a lot of features to offer and it looks pretty good while it does it. Today, we are working in the gunmetal gray where you're seeing this really nice gray on the platform and some copper orange accents. Now, the NV is also available in a metallic black or a matte black if you we're to go to the Kuat NV base, and we'll kind of break that down a little bit more towards the end of the video, but I really do like this carrier, it is the premier carrier for a lot of reasons. Just to name one of them, we are gonna have a 60 pound weight capacity with this guy, which makes it awesome for a host of different bikes up into your heavy e-bikes and those big old mountain bikes still getting on here and doing the job. Now, I will say, e-bikes are getting heavier and heavier, and if you find yourself over that 60 pound weight capacity, you could look at something like either the Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack or my favorite, the Yakima OnRamp.
Thule Hitching Post Pro Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2021 Toyota Venza
Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today, we're going to be checking out the Thule Hitching Post Pro on our 2021 Toyota Venza.

Inno Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2013 Toyota Venza
Today on our 2013 Toyota Venza we are going to be doing a test fit of the INNO Hitch Mounted Bike Carrier. Part number INH350. As you can see we have already got our bike up here on our platform so you can see what it is going to look like once you have it fully assembled and in place on the back of your vehicle. This is for 2 bikes to be fork mounted on the back side and it's going to come with a inch and a quarter shank as well as an adapter so you can use it with your class 1, 2 and 3 receivers. The only thing you are going to need to keep in mind is if you do plan on using it with your class 1 receivers is that you keep an eye on the weight of the bikes that you are putting on and that it's stays within your weight specifications of the class 1 receiver that you intend to use. Let's go ahead and start off by getting a few measurements. Our closest distance is going to be up here at the front to the back side of the bumper and about 3 inches. Overall distance that we have added to the vehicle from the rear of the bumper to the back side of the cradle are about 35 inches and our ground clearance is going to be about 11 inches. Now let's talk about how our bike is secured to our rack. We will have the tilt option here as well.
Kuat NV Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2013 Toyota Venza
Today, on our 2013 Toyota Venza, we're going to be doing a test fit of the Kuat NV Platform Style 4 Bike Rack, part number N105-107.

This bike rack does only come with a 2" shank for your 2" receivers only. It will secure to our receiver using a pin and lock assembly. We'll go over that in a moment. First off, let's start off with a few measurements. Our closest distance will be our first measurement up here at the front, from the front side of the rack to the back side of the bumper, at about 6 3/4".

Toyota Venza Bike Rack Questions
- Absolutely, and the best trailer hitch receiver for your 2023 Toyota Venza is going to be either the Curt or etrailer hitch. I mention both because they are the same hitch, just with different finishes - the Curt has a glossy finish while the etrailer has a matte black finish.
The reason to go with one of these is because they have the best ground and bumper clearance, keeping your rack higher up off the ground and away from your Venza. The correct part numbers for the hitches...
view full answer... - You will have no problems transporting your Trek Verve +3 Lowstep on the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount, part # Y36FR. You will be able to clamp either the frame or seat post of this e-bike. As long as your 2021 Toyota Venza has a 2" trailer hitch, you will be fine.
I have included a video review link below.
view full answer... - Yes, you can carry a heavy bike rack and pair of e-bikes weighing 195 lbs with the trailer hitch receiver that fits your 2022 Toyota Venza, which is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C89UR.
In terms of the vehicle, when I looked up the owner's manual online, it did not have a maximum tongue weight capacity (which is the maximum weight a bike rack and bikes can weigh) listed, but you would be able to carry your bikes with the Curt hitch's tongue weight capacity.
For example,...
view full answer... - The activity hitch on the 2021 Toyota Venza has a 1-¼" receiver and a 110-lb capacity, so your bike rack will have to meet those requirements.
The only one we have that might work is the Saris SuperClamp EX 2, part # SA4025F. It's a wheel-mount bike rack that still has the capability to work with fenders. You'll have to clamp the cradle where the fender ends and make sure the straps are securing the wheels.
Keep in mind that this rack is 35 lbs, so ensure that your two...
view full answer... - I recommend the Thule Helium Pro 3 Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting - Aluminum Part # TH9043PRO. With its lightweight aluminum construction, the installation is easy, and it will allow you to free up some weight for your activity mount on the 2021 Toyota Venza. The bike racks weight is 20 pounds, so that allows you to use up to 30 pounds per bike in order for the activity mount to not exceed its limit. Hanging style racks like the Thule Helium Pro are great for alloy,...
view full answer... - The only trunk-mount bike carrier that is currently compatible with your 2020 Mazda CX-30 and 2021 Toyota Venza is the Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack # SA803. This is a very versatile 3-bike carrier which works on many different cars, hatchbacks, and SUV's. Rubber feat on the bottom of the carrier's arms protect your car's paint finish from any scratches or damage.
If you plan on hauling a women's, children's, or step-thru bike then you will want to also grab an adapter bar such...

As you can see from the accompanying photo, the measurement from the hitch pin hole to the edge of the bumper is 4-1/2 inches for the Curt hitch that fits your 2021 Toyota Venza, which is the following part number:

view full answer... - Yes, the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH12G will clear the bumper on your 2021 Toyota Venza if your measurement from the center of your hitch pinhole to the end of your bumper is approximately 6 inches. The measurement of the length of the shank's pinhole to the closest part of the Sherpa 2.0 is 7-1/2 inches. The 7-1/2 inch length is distance when the rack is in the folded position, so you will have the option to fold the rack when not in use. As for the distance of the pinhole to the closest...
view full answer... - The nicest trunk rack we offer that is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Toyota Venza is the Thule OutWay part # TH45JV
What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer.
The cables store inside the rack so there are no loose straps ends to flap around. The cables can...
view full answer... - For your 2015 Toyota Venza, the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Rack # TH45JV that you referenced is a great choice. This rack features Thule's Hold Fast anti-sway cradles with no-sway cages to prevent bike-to-bike and bike-to-vehicle contact. The cradles also feature pads to help dampen road shock on the bike and minimize vibration. Additionally, the OutWay features an integrated cable lock to secure your bikes to the rack and locking covers to keep the bike secured to the trunk. Your bikes...

There is a 3 bike trunk rack that has been confirmed to fit your vehicle though. Check out the Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2-3. I attached a review video for you to check out for more info.

view full answer... - I have attached a link to all of the trunk mounted bike racks that we have available for your 2014 Toyota Venza.
One of my personal favorites is the Thule Gateway 2 Bike Carrier, # TH88VR. This rack uses the FitDial mounting system and is loaded with features but carries an economical price tag. I have included a video for you to check out.
If you plan on carrying women's, children's or alternative framed bikes, I recommend an adapter bar like the Swagman Easy-Out, # 64005....
view full answer... - Because of the upper spoiler-trim piece on the Venza, the trunk mount bike rack I recommend for your 2013 Toyota Venza and 2004 Toyota Matrix is the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top 3 Bike Rack for Vehicles with Spoilers # HRF2-3.
This bike rack is designed to take any weight, that more traditional trunk mount bike racks would place on the spoiler, off of the spoiler by moving the attachment points of the straps on the rack up higher. The # HRF2-3 can carry 3 bikes and has a weight...
view full answer... - Yes, you can use the Kuat Alpha bike rack # B202-114 with the Curt trailer hitch # C12341 on your 2013 Toyota Venza. I have linked a video review of this rack for you. It is an excellent choice since the rack weighs so little, only about 13 pounds!
Curt does require the use of a stabilization strap, # 18050, for non-trailer loads when using the hitch with a bike rack to be in compliance with their warranty. I have linked a video showing how you might mount the strap.
view full answer... - You should have no problem using a 2 bike rack for both of your Surley Pugsley fat bikes. For example, the Thule T2 Classic, # TH9045, can hold both of your bikes with ease, has a weight capacity of 60 lbs per bike and it will fit a Class II trailer hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver.
If you have a 2 inch receiver, then you will want part # TH69TX. It also has a 60 lb per bike weight limit and a 160 lb overall limit when used as the 4 bike mode. Most bike racks have a per bike...
view full answer... - Since you only have to carry 2 bikes at a time I'd go with the Saris Bones # SA805BL over a 3 bike version as this would be all you need, easily and securely carries up to 2 bikes like you need, and also fits both your 2012 Subaru Outback and your 2013 Toyota Venza. If you'd prefer the 3 bike Bones EX part # SA803 you referenced this rack would certainly fit and work well. It would give you room to carry a third bike if ever needed as well.
view full answer... - All of the Thule 2-bike trunk mounted bike racks including the Thule OutWay you mentioned, # TH945JV are indeed compatible with a 2013 Toyota Venza, but three bike capacity models are not a fit.
To carry women's bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # 64005 is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat post and the handle bar gooseneck, and provides a level attachment point to the bike rack so...
view full answer... - For a trunk mount bike rack that locks and holds 2 bikes that limits the options to the ThuleOutWay, # TH45JV. It is actually my number one choice for a rack and comes with locks for both the rack and the bikes.
I have actually tested the rack on a 2011 Venza. It works but it does but some stress on that spoiler. If that is a concern I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack, # HRF2. This rack has an additional upper arm piece that moves the strap up and over the spoiler...
view full answer... - We have several Thule roof mounted bike racks that will fit on the factory crossbars on your 2013 Toyota Venza. For a wheel mount style bike rack, you will want to look at the Thule UpRide, # TH599000. For a fork mount bike rack, I recommend the Thule FastRide, # TH95JV. These two bike racks use universal mounting hardware that can accommodate wider factory style crossbars.
I have attached the installation instructions and videos for each of these bike racks for you to check out.
view full answer... - That depends on how heavy your bikes are. If they are below the weight capacity of the Thule Passage Bike Carrier part # TH910XT then you would be fine. The weight capacity for this rack is 35 lbs per bike.
