Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Great bike rake! We bought it when we got into biking and have been very pleased with it. Only takes a few minutes to put together out of the box. folds up to stay compact or down to access your back hatch. I was a little worried when we bought it that it would stick out further then out vehicle (Chevy Equinox) but it fits it very well. We moved 1,200 miles with both bikes on this rack and had no issues. We keep our rack on all year long and the only wear it shows is a few surface rust spots on the upright post. I spray down the upright post and the ratcheting components every couple months to keep the components working well and to get rid of the mentioned surface rust.
Great bike rack. Very easy to put together and use. Easy to get bikes on and off, keeps bikes very secure. The only issue with the rack is the plastic knobs that come with it to tighten and loosen the wheel base holders. These are hard to get tight enough by hand, you are better off just removing the plastic knobs (or not installing them in the first place) and simply using a wrench to tighten or loosen the bolts. Other than this issue, I would highly recommend this bike rack.

Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
This is a great rack. Easy assembly. Easy installation. The bike doesn't move. I drove over three hundred miles with the bike on it the first time I used it. Never moved. The locking hitch bolt means I don't have to worry about someone taking it when I'm not around. The people at etrailer were great about letting me know when it was shipped and following up with me about how everything was when it was received. I will definitely do business with them again.
Best rack on the market as far as I'm concerned. I only got to use it a couple of times before replacing the Chevrolet Equinox with a Smart Car. So it sits in my garage unused

Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount
Easy to assemble (have an assistant double check your work the first time) And easy to use. Very stable on the back of a 2017 Chevy Equinox. I’m quite pleased!
The directions was a little complicated to attach to the vehicle. Incorrect installment caused dents to my new bike. After multiple attempts and YouTube videos I was able to attach both bikes correctly.

Thule Hitching Post Pro Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches
An outstanding hitch bike rack. It was easy to assemble and intall. etrailer made is simple to order. I am very satisfied and look forward to Future car trips with our bikes
I've had this for one year, but have only used it a half-dozen times. I am extremely happy with how easily it collapses and stores in minimal space, how it reclines while installed (for easy access to my liftgate/cargo area), and how sturdy the entire unit is when loaded. Solid purchase!!!

Swagman Trailhead Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting
Another successful shopping trip to “etrailer.com”. The bike rack is cooler than I expected, and arrived a day early. I have had several very good shopping experiences at etrailer, thank you all.
Easy to assemble but don't call it assemble. It was one bolt. Holds the bikes great. Worth the purchase. Fast shipping and great communication. Etrailer knows customer service. I have purchased a few items here and perfect each time. What a world it would be if every company focused on service and value for their customer! Don't laugh!! Buy something and you will see what I am talking about

Swagman Chinook Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
We ordered the Swagman Chinook 2 platform bike rack to use with our Draw-Tite Max-Frame class III hitch that we installed on our 2019 Chevy Equinox. We are one trip in and loving it! It's very easy to load and unload the bikes. The tilt feature allows us to have full access to the rear hatch with the bikes loaded. The rack folds up easily when not in use. The lock features work great! We have a men's 3G beach cruiser and a women's Townie Electra. We were particularly worried about the rack fitting the women's Electra without using an adapter bar since this is a step-through bike, and it fitting the men's 3G wheels since they measure 3". It works without any issues on both bikes! We do have to put the women's bike on the outside and the men's bike on the inside to get the right fit - not a big deal, but takes a slightly bit more maneuvering. There is some movement, but nothing more than what would be expected. It does sit somewhat low on our vehicle, so use caution when driving on a steeper drive. Overall, we are very pleased with this purchase!
I did a lot of research before I purchased this bike rack. By far this bike rack is the best on the market.. Not only did it arrive earlier then scheduled, it was easy to put together and install. My dad who is 88 put it together in a matter of minutes. Very sturdy and can be used with 1/4 and/or 2 in hitches, plus it tilts so you can get into your back of SUV. And an added bonus is there are two locks - one for the hitch and the other for your bikes. I compete in triathlons and needed a reliable and secure bike rack. This was the ticket!!!

Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms
Perfect for my 2019 RAV-4. I like this product because it allows me to drive and park without having to worry about height clearances in the city and parking was still navigable. Definitely worth the money!
First, etrailers.com is the BEST! Okay, this rack is amazing. If it was made in the U.S.A, I believe it would be closer to $ 800.00+, it's not, thus the incredible price point, imo. Incredible craftmanship, sturdy, versatile, nice to look at, as well. Very detailed instructions included. Fits my 2015 Prius 4 perfectly. Our beach cruises both required adaptor bars. I opted to wait on the bike rack, to ensure a good fit, etc. then purchase the adaptor bars. After much research, I went with Delta adaptors, I wish etrailers.com carried them, but they do not. Nevertheless, this rack is tops, highly recommend. Thank you for reading!

Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount
Works well for transporting two 29" wheeled mountain bikes. However, after one year it's starting to rust in several areas (see attached photos), and the front wheel arms are becoming increasingly difficult to raise and lower. Finally the locking cable is extremely rusty as you can see in the attached photo. I'm not sure how durable this rack will be long term.
We have had this bike rack for one year and use it every week-end. My wife has a Trek e-bike (52 lbs) and I have a regular Trek hybrid (23 lbs). The rack is very sturdy and I have no issues driving at highway speeds, there is no movement of the bikes. Very easy to load and unload.

Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
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…
If you've done any research or read any of the other comments on either this rack, or this seller...rest assured they really are as good as everyone says! I ordered my rack on around 4pm est on a Friday afternoon and within an hour I received an email that said they have shipped my product AND upgraded to priority shipping. Can't say enough positive things about the customer service! When the rack arrived, it took me a little over half an hour to get it set up. Probably would e been faster if I were even slightly mechanically inclined (or if didn't I didn't have to borrow a socket wrench from my neighbor). We finally had an opportunity to load up the bikes and head out for a ride today. As others have said, the first time you load up your bikes, it's kind of like a puzzle to get them situated. Took about 15 minutes. This rack is awesome! Very sturdy and the bikes were very secure. Only racks I have had in the past were rooftop fork mount racks. This is so much easier! On e we got to the trail (over an hour drive) getting the bikes off was a piece of cake. Afterwards, it was time to load them back up and it was less than 5 minutes to get them all on and ready to hit the road. There were other 4-bike racks on the website, but this one had enough great reviews that I felt comfortable making the purchase. After the fact, I'm very glad I did! I can't imagine the $800 rack can be that much better than this, and I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a 4-bike platform rack. I will definitely recommend this rack and etrailer.com to everyone I know.

Hi everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer. And today, we'll be taking a look at the Saris Bones EX trunk-mounted bike rack, right here on our 2018 Chevrolet Equinox.

What our customers are saying:
"A couple months ago, I ordered a hitch & bike rack for my new 2005 Saturn VUE. Everything about the order was fast and easy. When my father bought a 2006 VUE, he wanted the same hitch, but it was not listed on the site. I contacted customer service and quickly received a response informing me that they were waiting for details on the new model. The next day I had another email saying it was available, less than an hour later, my order was placed and I had a "shipped" email. Outstanding service!"
