Curt Bike Rack for 5 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Tilting
It was obvious that we received a product that was returned by someone else when the box was overly taped shut, a support collar was broken, and most of the pieces were out of their ripped plastic bags. However, it was a great price to hold 5, 26" and/or 27" Trek bikes. I used a piece of the broken collar and went ahead and assembled the rack. Due to the weight of the 5 bikes it did not wobble that much when driving, as one of the bike tires was up against my car. I can only imagine that if we received an untampered product that this review would have been 5 stars. The picture is a little hard to see, but there are 5 Trek bikes on the rack on my 2020 Toyota Seinna.
We received a damaged box, damaged items, no instructions, the nuts and bolts are completely stripped and not inside a bag. This was obviously used, returned, not checked for quality and sent out. We are extremely upset.

Curt Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting
I bought this Curtis bike rack, because it was the least expensive and since I was not going to be using it that often, figured it was a good gamble. I'm impressed with the material. It's well made. However, based on what I've heard about bike racks in general, I was most worried about the looseness of the rack once mounted on a car. The two places that are most succeptible are the hitch connection and where the two piece rack mast comes together. For the hitch connection I just bought the Quiet Hitch anti-rattle bracket. For the mast I resolved the looseness by taking one of the plastic tie straps that comes as part of the packaging material, placed it on the outside top of the bottom mast, slid the top mast over it, and tightened the two bolts. It now doesn't wobble. Simple, easy, and cheap. Once I take it on a trip and this doesn't work, I'll update the review. Otherwise, I'm very satified with the rack.
Nice bike rack ! Saddles are well made and none of the ears that hold the straps in place have broken like they have with other brands I've owned. It came with 1 strap for each saddle and the straps seem just a tad stretchy. I looked on line and found that Home Depot has a good price for the straps so I now have 2 straps on each saddle. I've got it on a 1&1/4 hitch, but it came with an adapter for a 2 inch. It holds 3 road bikes. I used it all the time.
What our customers are saying:
"I purchased a hitch, wiring harness, bike carrier and bike adapter for a newly redesigned 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. Everything arrived in a matter of days and either fit or worked perfectly. Great prices, quality and service support. Rest assured, I'll be recommending you to anyone who asks. Thanks again."
