Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms
Shipping was fast and I liked etrailer's videos showing how this is installed and how to operate it.
2017 Jeep CherokeeSeems like a good product, do not like that I cannot use my rear window wiper and if tail gate door on my 2017 Jeep Cherokee is open too long the weight of the rack comes down, which it did on my head. It was pretty easy to install and take off.I would recommend to someone else.

Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Nice bike carrier at a good price. Quick delivery too! Easy assembly. Have several products from etrailer and they are my first choice when shopping for products like this.
The product was very easy to install. I had it done in less than 30 minutes from start to finish. The system is very sturdy and functions as designed. The only comment I would improve is the ability to remove the carrier from the trailer hitch without having to carry a 3/4 inch wrench with you.

Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms
My wife and I love our bike rack and use it regularly with ease. Thank you
I have a 2017 Acura RDX. I had to be creative for the hooks and straps to work. The lower strap hook is not compatible with my hatch. And I really didn't want to have them hook under my plastic bumper, so I shut the straps in the hatch and hooked them to 2 hooks I have in the trunk. Works perfect. A picture is attached. I have a Cannondale Bad Girl, which is the dumbest bike ever designed ( but that is a different review forum) so I had to be creative getting it mounted like I usually do. Works great. The only reason I gave this a 4 star is because I don't believe the hooks are really compatible with the RDX, unless you have an awesome spouse willing to get shut in the trunk and place the hooks for you while you tighten from the outside. etrailer.com has the best customer service I have dealt with in a while. Fantastic crew!

Swagman Chinook Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Great product and service to match! Ordering on the website was a breeze, with recommendations for my particular vehicle and many images and videos to aid in selection and installation. I returned a different hitch to a big box store due to subpar quality and ordered this one instead. I am very pleased with my purchase and the experience.
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.

Swagman Upright Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Roof Rack Crossbars - Frame Mount
I had 2 of this rack previously for my '99 Cherokee. The fit on my std roof rack is excellent, quick, secure. My bikes ride well. The locking upright support is a little tight on my Raleigh but with a little effort you can open the jaws and get it on. A more serious biker may prefer a rack that fork mounts. I like the ease of unloading and going.
Great product for the price. Pretty easy to set up. Only issue I have is my mountain bike, which is an XL frame with 27 inch wheels, is pushing the limits of the base. Wish this rack was just 4-5 inches longer that way you have the perfect overlap amount in the middle without pushing the current frame to the limits. With that said it does hold my bike just have to find the sweet spot. But this fits my son’s youth bike perfectly!

Saris Freedom Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Seems like a good rack for the price, especially when compared to others with the same weight rating. It was very easy to assemble, just a few bolts and that's it. I put two 62lb e-bikes on it (Ride1Up Turris) and it has minimal wobble and movement as expected. The straps that come on the center cradles were too short to go around our bike's frame and battery so I had to purchase a separate set of long straps from Saris for an additional $20. So be aware if you have an e-bike with a fat frame where you plan to use the cradle on, you might have to spend another $20 on a pair of long straps. While I waited for the straps I just used a velcro-strap and it worked fine. So far I am content with this rack overall and hope it lasts many years.. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I had to purchase additional straps to make it work.
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.

Yakima RidgeBack Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting
Heavy duty. Well made and designed. Easy to install and load. Just arrived so I’ll let you know about the durability.
Great rack! Fits the receiver on my '22 Outback perfectly. My bike(s) ride stable and secure. I also have a Specialized e-bike that weighs 36 lbs., and the rack handles the weight just fine.

Swagman Trailhead Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting
Got it delivered yesterday. Opened the box and it was fully assembled. All i had to do was open the box and set it into the hitch. Got it all setup within a couple of minutes (i drive a 16' Cherokee TH). Putting the bikes on and off was easy enough. Came across one issue during bike placement. My girlfriends bike is either oddly shaped or pretty small framed because i had trouble finding the right configuration for the strap to hold the bike without swaying. I also tried putting hers on first and that was difficult trying to get her bike to pass all of the straps and guide holders. Overall pretty satisfied with the product itself. Not much, if any at all, sway on the rack.
This is a very solid product! I have used it for over a year now and love it! I have had up to 3 bikes on this without a problem and have traveled over 8 hours in the car one way with absolutely no issues. Many other bike racks like this one that I see on other cars look unstable this is not unstable in anyway. I did have to file some of the paint off of the rack to get it to fit in my 1 and 1/4" hitch but once that was done it has been perfect. I also bought the locking hitch bolt which is awesome too.

How Does the Saris Glide EX Bike Rack for 4 Bikes Fit on a 2018 Jeep Cherokee?
Adam: Hi everybody. Adam with the etrailer.com. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Saris Glide EX 5 hanging style bike rack on our 2018 Jeep Cherokee. This will be able to hold five different bikes at a time, and what sets this bike rack apart from most is it actually allows you to tilt the bike rack when these bikes are installed. Very unique to this bike rack and very, very useful. Let's say if you need to grab something from your trunk.
Saris Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2018 Jeep Cherokee SA772
Adam: Hi everybody, it's Adam with etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Saris Glide EX2 on our 2018 Jeep Cherokee.So this is going to hold two bikes, and have three tie down points per bike. As you can see right here it does have a very, very large spacing compared to most two hanging style bike racks, and with this, you have two different tie down points on top, and an anti-sway cradle. And what that's going to do, it's going to limit that bike to bike contact you get when going down the road.What sets this bike rack apart from all the others is it does tilt with your bikes installed. So on our Cherokee, we can tilt this back and then we can go ahead and access anything in the hatch. If you got to grab your helmets, your backpack, or your lunches for the ride, everything's pretty accessible from the back with this tilted down.
RockyMounts Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2018 Jeep Cherokee
Adam: Hi, everyone, Adam with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to be taking a look at RockyMounts WestSlope Platform-Style Bike Rack on our 2018 Jeep Cherokee.This is a platform-style rack that's going to have no frame contact. So if that's something you're really wanting in a bike rack, RockyMounts does supply that with the WestSlope. It does have two points of contact. You have this bar up here, which holds that tire down onto the rack, and also a back wheel cradle that has a zip-tie-style strap that secures that back wheel to that cradle.One really cool feature about this, it does enable you to tilt this bike rack with the bikes installed. One thing, though, when you pull this lever right here, there really isn't a great place to hold the actual rack, so I usually try to hold it on this main beam here as this arm does move freely.

That's going to be that anti-sway cradle, so the bike doesn't move too much, and we prevent that bike to bike contact.But we're going to go ahead and remove our bikes so we get a closer look. We'll come to the straps here. These rubber straps.. you just kind of stretch them, pull them off.
