Thule Hitching Post Pro Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches
The rack arrived early and was what i expected at a good price. I may have pictures but none now. I will use it on my 2013 sonata and my 2009 elantra
The product was perfect. I completed a lot of research prior to placing my order. I talked too owners and bike shops. My decision on a hitch mounted as opposed to a trunk mounted was due to the fact that my car is a 2018 Sonata with less than five thousand miles. I did not want to consider a scratch on the trunk so the hitch receiver was my choice. Researching more, i selected U Haul who mounted the hitch receiver. Perfect. I received my bike in record time. Installation was not real difficult. I also ordered the locking system in order that the rack would not be taken. I highly suggest every customer order this as well. I also ordered the socket wrench and the six foot lock. I recommend these to all purchasers. It is easy for me to install the rack to the hitch. I have the four bike rack and the rack easily carries my bike and my two grandsons bicycles. In summary, I really enjoy the product. I would not hesitate to recommend the product to anyone. I like your product and I appreciate your customer service.

Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount
We ordered the Thule Passage Trunk-mount 2 Bike Rack and Swagman Bike Frame Adapter Bar for 2013 Hyundai Sonata. It was shipped the next day and we received it two days later. Since our bumper is quite soft, we had to make a modification and actually use the bottom clips that normally hook under the car and put them on the bottom of the trunk. It worked quite well and we are very happy with the product. We live in southwest Florida part time and wanted to be able to take our bicycles to Sanibel and Captiva Island. There are also many nice bike trails in south Florida which we would like to explore. If I'm here by myself, I know that I can put it on the car myself without my husband's help which I'm very happy about.

Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms
This bike rack is awesome. It's universal and fits most cars. I've used it on a Hyundai Sonata, Mercedes C300 & Audi Q3. The only issue I would say would be that sometimes it can be a little cumbersome to put on. I'm not the biggest guy in the world and putting this on my Audi can be a little tougher. It's still an awesome rack though. I also have the adjustable bike rack bar which makes it simple to put on and off the rack.
After searching for a bike rack for my 2015 Hyundai Sonata, I settled on the Yakima Fullback 3. I initially wanted a roof rack so I could carry my bikes and kayaks, but my options with the panoramic sunroof were limited and expensive. Part of the Sonata trunk lid is plastic so I was very hesitant to use a trunk mounted rack. It seemed that most Sonata owners were using a trunk mount rack, so I placed my order on a Sunday evening. etrailer shipped it the next day and I received the rack on Thursday. It took about 10 minutes to unpack, read the instructions and install it. I put both my mtb and road bike on and went for a test ride. The rack was more stable than the hitch mounted rack I had on my old vehicle, and the best part was it didn't scratch my paint. It keeps the bike pedals far away from my bumper, and it was one of only a few racks that would clear my factory spoiler. It folds up and I can stick it in my trunk while I ride. The only reason for the 4 stars is that the rack is fairly heavy. It would be nice if Yakima could find a way to lighten it up while keeping the rigidity and price where it is now. Otherwise, I'm completely satisfied with the rack and the service from etrailer.

Saris Freedom Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
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.
With a few adjustments this rack has delivered. Needed to add additional strapping since the provide straps for securing the bikes to center bar were not long enough due to my ebike design (Velotric). My bikes are step through with a thick frame so provided straps won't fit. Simple adjustment with strapping resolved minor issue. Speed of 73 mph on the highway and some bumpy VT roads and this rack performed.

Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms
Excellent bike rack and excellent service.
Seemingly well-constructed and supported bike rack. It fits my 2018 Toyota Camry SE just fine and I haven't had any issues with sway or even feeling my bike while driving. I've only carried one bike on it and have used it a limited number of times, so I cannot speak on durability and longevity. Although you shouldn't open your trunk while the rack is attached, I have been able to do so with no issue (without the bike attached).

Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches - Wheel Mount - Pearl
I am very happy with my purchase!!! It all began with a pleasant experience contacting Etrailer to confirm that the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 would work with my Class 1 1-1/4" hitch on my 2011 Honda CRV. Roger answered my questions and assisted me with placing my order. I ordered on a Monday and I received it on Thursday in California! It did take me about 2 hours to assemble because I initially tried to follow the written instructions that were in the box. I remembered that several reviewers said that they recommend that you follow the You Tube videos for the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 assembly instructions. Once I followed the videos the assembly was a snap! The bike rack is very sturdy despite weighing in at 35 lbs. I am a 60 year old relatively athletic female and have no problem attaching the bike rack to my hitch! Here's hoping the bike rack holds up for years to come!
