Thule Hitching Post Pro Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches
Easy to put in and out, durable. I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee and I can open my trunk while my bike is on the rack. Perfect for me, I’ll recommend.
This bike rack is excellent! I can easily install it on my Jeep Grand Cherokee, put the bikes on and go!

Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Hanging Style
Installation the first time was a bit tricky, but once we got it installed correctly subsequent installs went very smoothly. The rack is very sturdy and we were able to anchor the bikes so they had very little sway. If given a do-over, I would consider ordering a 3-bike rack to hold 2-bikes and have a little more "wiggle room" to position handlebars, seats, etc. --- but all in all this was a good purchase and is a very solid bike rack. I recommend an adapter bar if you have a women's style bike, and the security strap is always a good idea.
Product didn't fit my Jeep despite the website claiming it did. etrailer is trash and I will never do business with them or Thule again.

Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Very nice bike rack. Very solid and easy to assemble and use. I highly recommend.
This bike rack is perfect to tranport our 2 beach cruiser bikes with fat tires on our 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The hitch mounting sytem is well engineered and manufactured. We've used the bike rack to haul our bikes between SW Florida and northern Michigan, a 1,500 mile trip each way without a problem. We've also used it locally. I like the fact that the bikes are supprted on the rack by the tires and then secured on place by an upper locking bar.

Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Fast Shipping by eTrailer and received in perfect order. Carrier goes together in about 10 minutes. Just adjust the wheel carriers to fit your bikes, tighten them down and your ready to go. Folds up or lays to the side and out of the way for the hatch on my 2012 Grand Cherokee. Over all a great bike carrier dollar for dollar compared to other much more expensive units.
First-time rack buyer / owner / installer. The rack arrived in a timely fashion, maybe a day or 2 ahead of schedule. It was well packaged. I’m LOVING this bike rack. It was easy to put together and to mount on my new Honda Passport. Thus far, no squeaks in my 2” receiver. Hardest part of initial set-up is figuring out the best way to position two bikes. Trial & error and some patience. The directions weren’t clear as to where the 2 left-over screws went. I found the answer in another review and have posted a pic in case others have the same problem (photo with pen pointing at screw). These screws go in the underneath side of both of the folding arms. They appear to keep the wheel wells from sliding off in case in you drive with an empty, un-folded rack, and forgot to tighten down the wheel wells. The folding arm push / pull pins can be difficult at times. I coated the tips with some lube. That and a little jiggling seems to solve that issue. I guess it’s better for the pins to be snug vs popping right out. I added a small Master lock to the hitch pin (in lieu of the provided cotter pin) as a theft deterrent. I read that a 3/16 shackle lock will fit into the bike clamp down arms to also act as a deterrent. I had an old 3/16 lock that did snugly fit and appeared to be locked. HOWEVER, I yanked on the lock and it came open as there isn’t quite enough clearance for the shackle to lock. I discovered that longer 3/16 shackle locks are hard to find. Have attached a photo of the lock that actually fits and works (Ace Hardware). One lock on the upper clamp down arm will secure both arms as the lower arm can’t be removed without removing the upper arm. The clamp down arms appear to be coated to prevent damage to your bike. I’ve tried a simple rag and ultimately settled on pool noodle pieces as a precautionary measure. I CAN NOT open my tailgate (regardless of whether or not the rack is fold up and in the bike carry position). If that’s a concern for you, then spring for the more costly titling version. My back-up camera still functions.

Rhino-Rack Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Tilting
etrailer is a refreshing upgrade from many companies in terms of customer service. They actually make a personal phone call if there will be a delay in delivery - even if its only a couple of days (who does that anymore!). I've ordered trailer hitches, roof racks and this bike rack and every order has been more than satisfactory. A big plus with etrailer are the innumerable installation videos they have online which are a great help for a mechanical novice such as myself!
Extremely happy with the bike rack!! Very sturdy!! Went on with no problem

Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount
We have had this Yakima Holdup hitch bike rack for a year now and found it was shipped quickly, installed easily, and is handy to use on the back of our 2014 Grand Cherokee. We did have one bad screw head while assembling it and Yakima sent us a screw kit with no charge also quickly. No other problems. It seems to be quite heavy duty and should hold up well. The bikes are held on tight and do not sway. For this vehicle, you do have to tilt it back a little to open the tail gate. That has not been a problem. Label me a happy camper.
The Yakima Holdup 2 Bike Hitch Mount works as advertised and from the product instructions had absolutely no trouble with the installation on a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Summit. The mount is substantial, sturdy and simple. One comment for "etrailer.com"...DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING. The entire online experience was flawless. Your website was so easy, very informative and communication was "above and beyond" from searching, product research, explanations, ordering, email followups with order submitted, received, shipped, tracking (both on your site with a map of where the product currently is located and UPS tracking info) and delivery. I can't come up with any suggestions. I will definitely shop etrailer.com again...THANK YOU!!!

Swagman Trailhead Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting
Just received this Bike Rack and we are very impressed. It was easy to assemble and fit onto our Jeep Grand Cherokee. The rack held our two bikes in place with very minimal movement. Also, I am very impressed with eTrailer. They shipped our online order almost immediately - and followed up with an e-mail asking if we had any questions or issues. I would highly recommend them.
Fast delivery. Product as advertised.

Yakima RidgeBack Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting
I love this rack! Simple and easy to use. Rack or bicycles don't wiggle at all. Jeep Grand Cherokee with 2" receiver Easily hangs on garage wall with two vinyl coated ladder hooks
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.

As you can see, we already have a bike installed, so let's take a look at some of the features.Now I will note this bike rack is specifically designed to carry up to two electric bikes weighing up to 70 pounds each, so it's designed to be able to carry that weight, and it's going to be very durable. If we look here, we have these wheel cradles that are adjustable back and forth, to accommodate any length that your bike might be. We just loosen and tighten it until you have it in the right spot. As you can see, our bike is secured at three different points of contact, with a strap on each of these wheel cradles, and as you see we have a rubber spacer around our strap.

Speaker 1: Today on our 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee, we're going to be test fitting the Swagman Quad 2+2 two-bike and four-bike platform rack. It'll be part number S64692. As you can see, we already have a bike installed, so let's take a look at some of the features.

Right now, we have it set up for four bikes, but if you so choose there is a bolt on the other side right here and you'll get a tool with your bike rack to be able to undo it. You can take off the addition of two bikes and switch it to a two-bike rack, and that'll take off a good amount of space if you're only taking two bikes out.As we look in closer, we see each bike's going to have two different wheel cradles to set into.
