Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
A good carrier and rated four stars for value. Yes, I have seen nicer carriers but always more expensive. I carried two bicycles (male and females frames) from Colorado to Texas with no problems. Note: I bought a pool noodle and cut it to make pads for the bicycles since the hold down arm rubber is a little thin/hard and can rub the paint off the bicycle frame. This carrier is easy to use and appears to be durable so I recommend it.
Easy to put together mounted on truck looks like it is just what I wanted.Have not traveled with it but mounted up nice.

Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
The carrier arrived in great shape, well packaged. Assembly took about 15 minutes & instructions were simple & easy to follow. the carrier is well thought out & will handle a wide variety of bike styles. My wife & I have Schwinn cruisers & the clampdowns handle her step-thru ladies bike very well. The carrier will handle racer-style & mountain bikes, as well. Very quick to mount carrier on my truck & it is very easy to load & unload the bikes at your destination. Bikes are held rock-solid, with no damage to their finish or to your vehicle. Great product at a very, reasonable price!
I think this is a good bike carrier. If the tubing were a little bigger for the reciever it would be more solid.

Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Rack is very sturdy and heavy duty. Instructions were terrible. Locking hitch pin would not thread correctly and ended up damaging it. Thankfully the threads on rack were fine and I was able to use the non-locking threaded pin. Would like a replacement locking pin ASAP
For the price, it's a good-quality, sturdy bike rack. I have used it about 5-7 times with no issues. I only used it for one adult and two kids' bikes, but I am sure it can handle four bikes as advertised. It's great that the rack folds upwards when it's not required.

Swagman Chinook Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
My 2016 Trance 2 size Large fit on it fine. I went with this rack because I was afraid other racks would not hold the Trance securely due to its shape. The swing away feature goes out far enough that it doesn't hinder my 05 Equinox's lift gate. Assembly was a bit of a pain due to 2 holes being very tight. Bolts are aluminum so they aren't as strong, but then again the rack is only rated for 90 pounds.
Works for my fat tire bike. Once it's set up, it's easy to install and remove. I had to cut out some of the plastic cladding on the underside of my bumper on my 2014 Subaru Outback. Good value. I've had no issues.

Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount - Pearl
No buyer’s remorse here! After quite a bit of reading and comparing, I have no regrets about purchasing the Kuat Sherpa 2.0. Excellent product, great quality. I would purchase all over again. It is a solid rack that is esthetically impressive to boot.
Really impressed by the quality. Some minor assembly required but the factory has made assembly very easy. The rack is very sturdy & the hitch tightening assembly works really well. The rack positioning also works flawlessly and is solid. Yes it is an expensive rack but you get what you pay for here.

Hollywood Racks TRS SE Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount
I purchased the 3500 model for a 2-inch hitch for my 2004 Toyota 4Runner. I've had it for a month now and it has worked well. It took just over an hour to assemble it and the instructions for the most part were easy to follow although it would behoove you to read it through once before you even start putting parts together. The rack has pretty much stayed on the vehicle for the past month and I use it two to three times a week to commute to work. The bike is on the rack for the 26 miles roundtrip to the ferry terminal and it hasn't given me any problems. Service and prompt delivery was much appreciated. I even noted that the link for installation instructions was broken and Anna responded immediately and I now see that it is there! One thing that my photos will show is that if you have a flat handlebar bike in the position closest to the vehicle the hatch may not fully open because the handlebar will prevent it. Not an issue with me since I use it for commuting and don't need to access the hatch. I think the price is worth it since I wanted this type of rack and it was difficult to find anything with this quality and features in the range. Four stars only because I've only had it for only a month so not sure how well it will hold up in the months to come. I also much appreciate the videos of the rack on the etrailer website. Thanks, etrailer! Arthur
I had been researching platform bike carriers for a while and after comparing several i settled on the Hollywood Racks TRS SE, it seemed to fulfill all my requirements and at a great price from etrailer. I watched the installation and test course videos and promptly added it to my cart, shipping was fast and the rack arrived in good condition. Assembly was easy, although I did not time it, every thing went together seamlessly. I have a pickup truck and was hoping that I could open the tailgate while the bike rack was tilted down, no luck but it gives plenty of access to get in the canopy and bed anyway. We'll be hauling two 27+ mountain bikes with large (not fat) tires ant this rack accommodates them perfectly without needing to buy additional accessories.

SportRack Ridge Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Swing Away
I just received it put it together and put it on truck look fine must figure out to put different types of bikes on it ! Thanks
One Year Later – Still Going Strong I’ve owned this rack for a year now, and I couldn’t be happier. It securely holds all 4 of my bikes, even on longer road trips, with no shifting or wobble. One of my favorite features is the ability to tilt the rack away from the vehicle—even when it's fully loaded. That’s a huge convenience and makes it super practical for daily use. Durable, easy to use, and thoughtfully designed. Highly recommend if you're looking for a reliable 4-bike solution.

Hollywood Racks Trail Rider Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
I like it a lot! I think it has solved my issue with having in easy, yet stable way to haul my bike on my 2012 Honda accord coupe. It's only been one day, so I can't speak about the durability. But it's definitely use a friendly and sturdy.
I looked at a LOT of bike racks, but when I saw the product video for this Hollywood rack and it was holding the bikes rock solid, no loose bouncing anywhere, I decided to try it and I haven't been disappointed yet. It is solid in the mount, it holds the bikes securely and the locking bars are a good deterrent to anyone wanting a quick steal. I don't leave mine on the car all the time, but so far in the weather here in Florida, it's holding up nicely. Add all this to the great price and customer service from etrailer.com and it's a big win for the average consumer. Thanks, etrailer!

Yakima RidgeBack Bike Rack for 5 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting
This Yakima 5 bike rack is exactly what I needed. It's very easy to mount and very sturdy.
Rack is very easy to install and remove, and fits well with no rattle in the 2" receiver. Loading bikes is easy and it will, indeed, hold 5 bikes with relatively little effort. The only negatives I have are 1) Unless I use Yakima's custom locking cable for this rack, there is no good way to lock bicycles to the rack 2) It wasn't clear to me that I would need adapter bars (8002531) for kids bikes. I've always managed to get them on my older racks, but not the Yakima. I suspect that most modern racks would need these bars. Overall, very satisfied.
Will the RockyMounts BackStage Bike Rack for 2 Bikes Fit Your 2016 Chevrolet Colorado?
Speaker 1: Today in our 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, we're going to be taking a look at the Rocky Mount's backstage two-bike platform rack. And that's going to be part number RKY-1002. As you can see, we have a bike installed, so let's take a closer look and show off some of the features.Now a great feature about this bike rack is that it can swing away from your vehicle to provide you with complete . bed access on our truck. How we're going to do that is we're going to start down here, we're going to loosen up this blue T-pin, and once that's all the way loose we can go ahead and come to this blue circular pin right here and pull up, and that's going to allow us to pull away our bike rack. You do want to make sure while you're doing this that you have a hold of the bike rack and not the bike itself.Next, we're going to tilt it this way just a bit like that, and then we're going to come to this pin right here that's at the corner of our two inaudible 00:01:09 frame bars.
Inno Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2016 Chevrolet Colorado
Speaker 1: Today in our 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, we're gonna be taking a look at the Inno Aero Lite 4 Bike Rack for 1 1/2" and 2" hitches. That's gonna be product number INH640. As you can see, we have a bike installed, so let's take a closer look and show off some of the features.Now, starting from the outside and working our way in, we're gonna have this integrated cable lock system which comes out from the base of our bike rack, wraps around our frames, and inserts into that slot right there. You will get a set of keys with your bike rack, so when you wanna remove the cable you simply just slide up this tab, you have the insert for your key to unlock your cable, and then unload your bikes.These cradles right here have a nice, thick rubber padding which is gonna help protect the frame of your bike from any type of scratches or abrasions during installation and travel. The cradles can also move back and forth, and slide up and down the rack to accommodate many different-sized bikes and any spacing between bikes that you might want.If we look at the bike itself, we're gonna see it's secured at three different points of contact. We have two straps on the top of our bike frame securing it into the cradles, then down here we're gonna have this anti-rattle cradle.
What our customers are saying:
"The hitch and bike rack for my Kia Sportage arrived in three days! This is my second Hidden Hitch and like the first, this fit perfectly and was installed in under 20 minutes. Great products and service! I'll recommend them to my friends. Thanks"
