• Comparing the Thule Apex and Vertex Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Racks
  
• The Thule Apex, # TH9025, comes with some additional features that the Vertex does not. The Apex includes the EasyMount system with an integrated locking hitch pin and tool-free anti-rattle device. The Apex also includes a built-in cable lock. The Vertex does not. The Apex has a premium silver finish. Both racks can tilt down, but neither can hold the bikes while they are tilted down.

• Comparing the Thule Apex and Vertex Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Racks
  
• The main differences between the Vertex, # TH9029, and the Apex, # TH9025, are the type of cradles each has, the cable lock on the Apex, and the anti-rattle function on the Apex.

• Comparing Thule Apex, Vertex, Parkway and Yakima DoubleDown Bike Racks for a 2008 Toyota Sienna
  
• The Thule Apex, # TH9025, and Vertex, # TH9029, are among the newest racks available from Thule and are both solid all around bike racks. The Roadway series of racks is no longer available but the Parkway is, # TH956. This is an older rack that is very popular but is not as advanced as the newer racks. The Yakima DoubleDown, # Y02424, is a lot like the Parkway though it is not as popular and also lacks the design benefits of the newer Thule racks. The Apex and Vertex racks are easier to mo
