Best 2010 Chevrolet Traverse Bike Racks

I purchased this rack to carry our families' four bikes. There are two adult bikes and two kid bikes. It was very simple to put together and install on the vehicle! That's where the easiness stopped! It was nearly impossible for all four of our bikes to fit on this rack! It took me almost an hour the first time placing the bikes on the rack to figure out a way to position them so that they all would fit. Luckily, I manage to get them all on.. Not to mention, they rubbed each other and scratched the paint off of ne another. I think we need to purchase a 6-bike rack for our family of four..

The Thule Hitch has been very easy to use, but becomes loose after using it for a period of time. We tighten it as much a possible and it still manages to loosen. This makes us a bit nervous for a long trip.

I needed a bike carrier that would fit a full size Crown Vic trunk as well as the back of a Chevy Traverse. This product does both. It only took about 10 minutes to assemble.

It was obvious that we received a product that was returned by someone else when the box was overly taped shut, a support collar was broken, and most of the pieces were out of their ripped plastic bags. However, it was a great price to hold 5, 26" and/or 27" Trek bikes. I used a piece of the broken collar and went ahead and assembled the rack. Due to the weight of the 5 bikes it did not wobble that much when driving, as one of the bike tires was up against my car. I can only imagine that if we received an untampered product that this review would have been 5 stars. The picture is a little hard to see, but there are 5 Trek bikes on the rack on my 2020 Toyota Seinna.

We received a damaged box, damaged items, no instructions, the nuts and bolts are completely stripped and not inside a bag. This was obviously used, returned, not checked for quality and sent out. We are extremely upset.

Haven’t used my bike rack yet. However it looks great and was delivered on time.

I wish all vendors were so easy to deal with. Great product!

Outstanding product and worth the money. Unpacked this, assembled easily, and loaded it up for 1000 mile roundtrip the next day on our 2013 Chevy Traverse. Very secure and stable - no noise or rattles - everything is snug - excellent quality. Locking hitch pin and locking cable included for great security. And kudos to Etrailer - I waited until the last minute - paid for 2 day shipping and got it in about 28 hours - great service! I will be ordering the 2 bike version for my son to replace the cheap noisy one that he has.

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…

This bike rack is exactly what I was looking for. It is heavy duty, but not too heavy to lift & carry when putting it on our vehicle or camper. I feel that our bikes are very safe and will get to where ever we are going, no matter the distance. Super easy to load and lock down and easy to fold down for getting things out of the Traverse. My wife likes it much better than our old "hanging" rack and can take the bikes off with ease. Great product!

This bike rack was easy to assemble with clear instructions. It holds the bicycles securely. I have a vehicle with a rear lift gate. Once the bicycle is removed, the rack can me repositioned to open the lift gate without having to remove the rack. This rack is easy to use, versatile, and well made. Great purchase. Would purchase it again if I needed another rack.

I had to put my electric bikes into this rack, backwards, to make them fit. Not ideal, but it works.The receiving 'trays' that are intended to provide support for holding the bikes, by being placed under the bike tires, are forced to be moved to a location that is not directly under the bottom of the bike tires. While it works in this manner, it is not ideal.For the support that attaches to the diagonal bike frame, we had to remove it from the vertical rail of the rack. We reinstalled it, upside down, because that's the only way we could make it fit, or 'grab', the bike frame. Again, we made it work, but it's not ideal. We chose to keep the rack because it was so much less expensive than the Thule rack we considered buying. The bike shop owner didn't agree with us. He observed that we are putting $3000 worth of bikes on the rack and risking that investment. So far, no problems, other than the ill-fitting installation.

Loved our Saris rack that went on the trunk but love having the bike rack on a hitch even more! Now we can take the bikes AND put the top to the convertible up and down as we please :)

The Malone rack adjusts to fit my 2017 Trax really snugly and securely. Once we learned how to configure the bikes for best fit, everything traveled without movement. The only downside is that this system seems designed for narrow road bikes rather than the mountain and hybrid bikes we own. Although the anti-sway cradles are sufficiently wide for mountain tires, the close proximity of the individual bike setups sometimes cause a strap to pull loose during travel, so we keep the bikes cabled to the rack frame. We are able to make it work. For narrower bikes, I would recommend this rack without reservation.

Works great! We keep it set up to one position because it's used on my car only. I'm glad we bought the lock feature because we can just leave the rack on at the trail site. This was a great purchase. I'm impressed that you follow up on your product. I recall your staff was quite helpful in making sure I purchased the correct item for my car and set it up correctly. No recent pictures of the carrier but I do have one of myself as "happy camper" on the Fox River Trail which was doable because of the carrier purchase!!

The rack was very easy to install. Like anything you do for the first time, the next time would be much easier. Could do 5 or 6 in the time that the first install required. The bike lock was also an easy installation. The two make a nice unit.

Check out my other review on the hidden hitch for a 2015 BMW 4 Series for the majority of the review, but this thing is great. Easy setup and install, does all the things it's supposed to do. Mounting and removing bikes is a snap with the included clips (big difference from some of the cheaper variants with nylon ratchet straps). Fits very snugly in my 2" receiver, and pretty solid on the highway and over bumpy roads.

This is a junk system for an rv. Have to keep redoing codes every trip Don’t waste your money

I like this bike rack, I’ve used it a few times and it does the job it’s intended to do. Installing and removing is easy. I use it casually I take the family to the park or beach and we want to take our bikes out, the lock feature is a lifesaver. Would definitely recommend

Decent 4-bike rack for the price. Stable side-to-side with the screw-in hitch pin (2 inch receiver version). Gets some fore-aft rocking over bumps at speed (inherent to the tilting design). Bikes need bungee cords to keep them from swinging (typical for this style of rack). I used this with two bikes, and really struggle to see how four full-size bikes could be added. Maybe if seats were removed? I added bumpers and some padding for the vertical post, and will probably relocate the retainer pin lanyard so the rack can be completely collapsed for storage. A few design improvements for 5 star rating would be: 1 - Add some bumpers for the fully lowered position, 2 -Add some padding on the vertical post for bike contact or accidental vehicle hatch lifting when in the raised position, 3 - Mount the retainer pin lanyard to one of the through-bolts or move the lanyard hole - collapsing this rack chews up the retaining lanyard. etrailer.com service was great - well packaged, and quickly shipped!

This two bike rack has been great for the occasional bike ride outside of our home area. I like the sturdy construction, but beware that it is a little heavier than it looks (I’m retired and a bit older so maybe not as strong). Easy to fit into the factory trailer hitch on our 5 passenger SUV and no problem securing the bikes for transport. My only complaint is, the stick on Yakima Graphic started coming apart the day we got it. Sorry, no free advertising for Yakima.
