Well cover the features of this rack starting from the bottom up. Well start with its anti-rattle device. As you can see the hitch pin is actually a bolt that goes in to the side of the bicycle rack and helps keep it in place, keeps it from rattling and is an added security feature as well. The next feature is the tilting action of this bicycle rack. This allows you to tilt the rack back to be able to get to the back of your SUV, van or whatever so you dont have to take off the rack completely. As you can see its just a simple pin with its own built in clip to help keep everything in place. Working our way to the top, well show you the cradles here. The cradles have a nice cushion of rubber which will definitely last for years of service. Also the Velcro tie-downs offers infinite adjust ability for different frames of bicycles. Theres a lot of different variety of thicknesses of the top tubes of the bikes, and this will handle virtually every one of them. Now well show you how a bike actually gets installed on the rack. As you see this bicycle rack can handle an alternative frame bike as well. Next well provide you with a measurement of the cradles themselves so you can compare this to smaller frame bikes such as kids bikes. It looks like the measurement is 8 1/2 inches wide overall and about 3 3/4 inches deep. There you have it, this is the Tow Ready bicycle rack, part # 63124.

Great for normal bike frames Great product for normal adult bike frames however will not fit any of the 3 kids and 1 woman's bike frames (16"-24" wheels) I've tried. Th problem is that the V cradles are too large and bike frame openings too small. Description mentions using an adaptor but don't see one for sale. 3430

Seems to be well made. I have carried 2 bikes at a time with no issues obviously. If you are going to carry 4 nice bikes (new) you may want to remove the pedals so they don't scratch the other bikes. I would say this goes for other models too though. Spacing seems to be about the same on most 4 bike models.16174

I was pleasantly surprised with the bike carrier. When I ordered it, I thought for a hundred bucks, how sturdy can it be. When I got the box, I couldn't beleive how heavy it was. Then I put it together and was impressed with the heavy duty materials. Well built and well worth the money!!10127

This is a great bike rack! I wanted something that could carry all 4 of our family bikes and this does it easily. The bikes are really easy to load and secure with the Velcro straps. It is really sturdy and does not sway much at all. I'd highly recommend this rack.7188

Good Value This is a very good rack for the price! I bought the rack and trailer hitch receiver at the same time and installed both with ease. It was free delivery and arrived in four days..excellent service! Unfortunately, there is too much play between the hitch receiver and the bike rack, which really concerns me. The anti-rattle pin does not come with a lock washer so it's only a matter of time before it becomes loose. I went and bought a stainless washer and lock washer for added reliability.3437

Only bike rack I'll ever need Can't beat the value for the price and it lived up to its expectation. Due to a stupid move on my part, I misplaced the silent hitch-pin and e-trailer went to extreme attempts to secure a replacement for me. Not only is the product 5 star but e-trailer definitely qualifies as a 5 star dealer.3225

GET THIS! and the padlock! Upon opening this product and assembling it I realized that it was even better quality than I originally thought when I bought it. I think this blows all the big names out of the water, especially for the price. PROS: -PRICE! -built VERY well and STURDY -has an anti-wobble pin, holds 4 bikes -has a platform with several holes allowing more straps or bungees to be attached and an easy way to lock bikes to the rack with a cable -it tilts out of the way (my favorite feature) -the pin that releases it to tilt is attached with a small cable to the rack so you won't lose the pin -the straps fit a wide variety of bike frames -it even has a red reflector on the end for better visibility The only complaints I have are minor. Cons: -you may have to get adapter bars for certain bikes -rack does not fold down for storage (but this also is what makes it so sturdy) -it would be nice if the padlock (item # 63140-1) automatically came with the rack 3181

Very sturdy and reliable! I am a mom who needed something easy and somewhat lightweight to tow my family's bikes. No problem! It fits four bikes just fine with little swaying. I'm very happy with the quality and the price. I did have to buy the adapter bars for my children's alternative bikes and my women's bike. Oh, I tried to lower the bikes, while on the rack, to get into my hatchback: way too heavy for me and not safe .2947

What a great product.... As a causal biker with kids I really wanted an inexpensive rack to save me from the torture of loading bikes into the back of my SUV. I looked around and found this Tow-Ready rack for $99. Not being an avid user and having little experience with other racks I can only say that I don't see it getting any better or easier than this. the rack was simple to put together in about 10 minutes(though I will add that a took the advice of another reviewer and assembled it in the hitch receiver which made things much easier), and seems strong, sturdy and durable. There is a little play in the rack, but not much, and during my "test drive" experienced little by way of noise or rattles. I do think a bungee cord or two are needed to keep the bikes from swaying and wheels spinning but nothing major. Overall for a much reduced price this rack seems like a dead bang winner. I am extremely happy and would recommend it to anyone. You will not be disappointed with this purchase.2818

Quality product! Easy to assemble and install. Quality product. I bought the adaptor bar for my women's bike, but I think I'll need two more for my boys' bikes, too, because of the odd tube shapes. I love it; my bike hardly moved at top speeds.2648

Perfect fit Volvo xc90 To new for reliability & performance. However paint is slightly on a thin side. Over all Etrailer services on instruction, delivery, and called for follow-up, it is "A+". Fast services, cost benefit and corespondence follow-up, I would say beat U-HAUL, car dealers walk-in-store services. Recommend Etrail to anyoneon the planet.2288

Low price, great product! I recently bought and used this rack with four bikes (two 24'', one 26'' and one 27'') and it worked perfectly. We used two of the 'Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapters' which worked really well as well. The rack is solid and made transporting bikes a pleasure. The rack does tilt for opening the hatchback but it does not fold, which is not an issue for my use but could be for others. If you can live without the folding feature, I would highly recommend this one. Also, the Velcro on mine is black (like in the video), not yellow as in the photo. That did not matter to me. 2271

good for mens bikes... I really like this product and have used it many times. Only one drawback is that the ladies bikes do not really go on easily and you need to use the adaptor bar... but that doesn't alwasy work with every bike.1917

Good rack at excellent price Strong rack, easy to use, really does hold 4 bikes securely in place. Used it on a 2500-mile road trip with no problems and minimal impact on gas mileage. Be careful if your hitch receiver is low, since the corner of the rack can easily hit the ground in driveway dips, speed bumps etc. Don't expect to use the tilt feature while bikes are on it; the weight of the bikes presses on the tilt pin so it can't be pulled out. The first one I got had a flaw in the base piece so the tilt pin holes wouldn't align properly when the pole was vertical. eTrailer Customer Service was very responsive and got me a replacement in time for our trip. I am also happy to see they have clarified the description about the hitch lock (this bit me because I tried to get keyed-alike hitch & cable locks); too many companies ignore suggestions like this. Again, Customer Service was great in sorting this out quickly. Thank you! And thanks also for your great Web site with instructional videos etc. - very useful!1423

Great Value, Heavy Duty Very heavy duty rack that works very well for adult bikes. However be warned that it DOES NOT work well for kids bikes 20" and under. Many kids bike frames are too small to fit over the cradles. Would be better if cradles were just a bit shorter length wise.1228

Great rack, SOLID Just put this on my minivan along with an draw tite hitch. The bikes are held in tight with the velcro straps and the anti-rattle pin holds the rack tight to the hitch so sway is minimal and the bikes are very secure. As long as you don't need a folding arm, this is the rack to buy for 4 bikes.1153

Great value As long as you don't mind not being able to fold the arms down, this rack is excellent value. It is solidly built, fits snugly in the hitch with the anti-rattle pin (included), and holds 4 bikes securely. The arm does stick out a ways beyond the back of the vehicle so be careful backing etc.1126

Works great @ a great price Easy to use, easy to install & a great price. Folding is a nice convenience if you have a tailgate as I do on the mini van. A singe arm support easilly holds kids 20" bikes whereas I've had problems w/dual-arm models being narrow enough to hold a small-frame bike. 1110

Great Value In a Bike Rack If you want an excellent performing bike rack and don't mind not having one of the "obvious big names" one begins with Y the other with TH, then look no further. This rack is made very well and has all of the features you expect in the expensive name brands including the tilt feature for access to a hatchback. Highly recommended!1080

I have used etrailer.com before and it remains one of my favorite on line companies to trust. They not only have the best prices but they also have what I consider the best service. In this case I was able to watch a very well made video that showed a perfect, step by step instruction of just how my trailer hitch and trailer lights assembly was to be installed. The video was precise as to how to do the procedure. After watching the video I felt very able to complete this project without injuring my vehicle. On top of that I saved $170.00 and did the whole job in less time than I could have driven to the garage, waited for the installation and then driven home. Plus I saved the $10 in gasoline to drive to the shop and back. Etrailer.com played no games with me at any point in the transaction and they delivered the goods, via UPS, as promised in a timely manner. Then they checked up on the deal and made sure it was done as I wanted it to be. On top of that they carry a full line of the best quality products. I wish all companies, on-line or brick and mortar, could measure up to etrailer's level of performance. I doubt that this will ever happen. I really enjoy etrailer.com's professionalism. 24175

This product truly exceeded my high expectations. The other reviews of this product are correct. The build quality is excellent. I had a Thule Hitch rack before and I think this is a much better build quality. Nice, heavy steel. The locking bolt for the hitch mount is just that....a bolt instead of a standard hitch pin which also makes it more sturdy. The bikes are very stable on this rack. It also sits higher than a typical hitch carrier which I like as well. It comes nearly completely assembled. You only have to install the 4 holders onto the top of the rack with 8 allen bolts (allen wrench included) and 2 bolts to put the top half on the bottom half. Does not take long at all to assemble. Etrailer was great as well and had my order to me within 3 days with standard shipping! 22528

I ordered the indicated 4-bike carrier... and within just 3 business days I received the product, in good condition and with no cost for shipping. Myself and my wife have already enjoyed the carrier and it operates great, is easy to remove and install. I love that it pivots so I can get into the rear hatch of my '08 Highlander without removing it. It is very sturdy construction and only took the 15 mins indicated on the box to set-up. I would recommend this product to cyclist! 16556
