Comparing Thule Hitching Post Pro and Yakima RidgeBack 4-Bike Racks
Question:
I have a 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser and want to be able to carry 4 adult bikes. I need a bike rack that will be durable, can tilt, and withstand up to 15 hours drives and allow for enough room for all 4 bikes to fit without damage. I also would like to minimize the amount of sway in the bike rack as well. I was looking at the Thule Hitch and Yakima RidgeBack. Out of these two which one would you recommend. Thank you for your feedback!

In regards to the Thule Hitching Post Pro part # TH934XTR and Yakima RidgeBack 4 Bike Rack part # Y02458, I give the nod to Yakima. They are both very similar options (tilting feature, anti-sway cradles, 1-1/4"/2" Hitch, etc.) but the Yakima does come with a hitch lock and it's a few pounds lighter. The quality of service you will receive from Yakima far surpasses Thule as well.
