Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Hanging Style
Just returned from a bike-trip using the Thule Passenger2 for the 1st time. It is the best bike rack that I have ever owned. It is easy to install, all parts are covered to protect your car from scratching, and held the 2-bikes "rock-solid". Awesome product.
Product is Great! It was easy to assemble (with the assistance of the on-line video) and per the instruction booklet what setting to adjust it to per the make/model and year of my vehicle. We load our bikes and drive to a destination to ride from, the bikes feel very secure. Love the ease in which the bike rack mounts to the vehicle!

Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Great product. It was easy to install and really holds your bike secure. I feel completely confident when using this bike rack.
Bad design !!! Almost lost my bicycle on the road. Bike hook slide teeth got worn out after one year of use. It is the "U" shape push down lock that holds your top tube. After small (micro) teeth that hold the hook down get worn from use and rust, bicycle will push this hook up as it vibrates back and forth while you drive. Once hook is up, your top tube will clear and bicycle will fold down. Some kind of pin or security is needed above the hook. I will probably drill a hole just above the hook and insert some kind of pin.

Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
I have been looking at this product for months. Looking at the reviews and comparing it to other products. I decided on this one because of the ratings and the price. Everything about this product is spot-on with regards to description, installation and quality. If you don't have a bike carrier and need one, don't hesitate. I wished I had bought this one before my trunk mounted carrier, scratched up my car's paint.
Great product for the price! Took a bit of fiddling to get it set up the first time and get the bikes locked in securely. Now that it's dialed in it's super fast to get my rides on and off. I am very happy with this rack. Best feature is the ratcheting hold downs! So much better than the screw down hand knobs on my friends more expensive rack.

Thule Hitching Post Pro Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches
Great price, install was super easy. There was a plastic cap that was cracked, but it is pure cosmetic and eTrailer sent me another cap immediately. That is great customer service! This cracked cap would have no effect on the actual performance of the product (picture attached). It feels like a solid bike rack and I hope to get many years out of it. Thanks for the great price and detailed videos etrailer.com!

Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount
2009 Honda AccordThis bike rack fit the 2009 Honda Accord trunk perfectly. Make sure the straps are tight and check them when you stop for a break. I am very happy with this rack and will tecommend Thule racks to everyone!

Swagman Trailhead Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting
Bike rack fits securely to car. No bike sway. It's a bit cumbersome to get used to installing and loading bike compared to the more expensive models. Had to use straps to secure bike wheels from moving and turning. Otherwise a great rack and reasonable price.
I chose this rack based on the reviews, and it lives up to the hype. Very solid construction, and a very solid fit in the receiver. After installing it, I attached my bike and drove it around a bit just to get a sense of how solid it was. After many years of a trunk mounted rack, this rack is rock solid by comparison. And I can easily open and access the trunk even with my bike in place. I'm not only pleased with the rack and the hitch I purchased, but also EXTREMELY impressed with the great people at etrailer.com. I sent a question that was answered quickly, and they kept me informed of my order and its status every step of the way. Thank you so much!!

Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Carrier - Fixed Arms - Trunk Mount
I just got it today. Put it on my car, attached my bike. Amazing quality for the money!
I bought this bike rack based on other good customer reviews and good price. I have only used it once so far but it worked just as advertised. Seemed very sturdy and easy to install. I have no complaints.

Kuat Beta Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches - Tilting
I was looking for a light weight bike rack for my 2015 Honda Accord. Your videos stated that the Kuat Beta was light and easy to install. You were right. I opened the box, read the instructions, and had it installed in about 10 minutes. I don't use a rack lock. It is so easy to pop on and off the hitch that I keep the rack in my car trunk.
We've been using this bike rack with a 1.25" Draw-Tite receiver hitch (also purchased from etrailer) on a 2012 Prius C for a month with no problems. As shown on the pictures, it fits two bikes very well, even one with a baby carrier. I chose this model based on recommendations from etrailer that it can be easily detached from the car without tools. True to their word, it is very easily detachable from the hitch and folds up nicely to fit in your garage/closet/storage area. Basically, it uses a hand tightened ball bearing mechanism to secure itself into the hitch receiver, and then uses a 3/8" hand locked pin as a safety device. You can install and de-install this rack in just a few minutes. During driving, there is little noticeable vibration from this rack, even on rougher roads or speed bumps. The only downside is that the holes on the receiver hitch do not align perfectly with the holes on the bike rack (see picture). I believe a few other reviewers also noted this issue. There is enough room to fit the safety pin, but not quite enough to fit a 1/2" hitch lock. I called Kuat to ask them about this and the rep told me that not all hitches will line up with this rack. Kuat, coincidentally(?), sells a hitch lock that is also 3/8" (same size as the safety pin) and still fits.

Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms
I haven't installed on my car yet, but it's sturdy and I can't wait to take my bikes for a car ride
The Saris Bones-3 bike carrier is very solid and also configurable. It fit both my Subaru Forrester (mid-size SUV) and Honda Accord (sedan with trunk) well. Installation was pretty straightforward -- though read the clips to understand which goes where. The bike weight, in both cases, rested mostly on the rear bumper. I have used it for both 1 and 2 bikes, and found each incident of mounting the bikes went smoothly and that they were quite well secured. There appeared to be no swaying or bouncing of the bike mount, even on some pretty rough roads. You will want to have a strap to secure the front wheel of at least the first bicycle on the rack (not included with the Saris mount, I used the recommended Softride Velcro Tie-downs).

Fairly quick to install on car, but not designed for women's bikes - since Women's bikes usually don't have the horizontal frame bar. I don't think this was made clear when we purchased the Saris Bones for 2 bikes. It's another purchase to be made, bringing the price of the unit up another 20%.
What our customers are saying:
"I cannot find words to express how professional these guys are. They should start teaching others on how the Internet shopping should look like. I was completely new to the hitches and bike racks. Documentation and movies on www were very helpful and educational. Prices are great, products of good quality and easy to assemble. I will definitely come back to them with every trailing need I will have. Thanks a lot for amazing shopping experience!"
