Swagman Truck Bed Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Fork Mount - 9-mm Skewer
Perfect! Works exactly as advertised. Comes with hardware and tools to adjust for your application. I was skeptical about it staying in place with two bikes mounted while running across rough roads in a truck that has a choppy ride (2011 Ranger). It didn't budge. Would buy it again in a heartbeat and cant see why someone would pay $100 for an aluminum one.
I have a 2007 Ranger, the bed has a spray in liner, but the bed rails have a factory liner topping. In order to feel comfortable with the security of the installation, I had to make the bike rack so tight that the rail cover buckled. I had to take the rack out and then silicone the rail cover back down. The problem was fixed by adding small turnbuckle to secure the rack to the bed tie downs. I could not use the pins to secure to the rail as the hole in the rack was below the thin bed rails on the Ranger.

Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
I was sent additional mounting materials that don't correspond with my hitch or my bike rack. See the photo below. Are these materials for my Swagman STC2 Bike Rack Item #S64670?
Very stable and simple to use bike rack that works great with my road bike AND with my 29" Big Rippers. It makes loading and unloading the bikes a snap and they are safe and secure for traveling once loaded and secured. I have already logged over a thousand miles hauling bicycles with this rack and highly recommend it. I am a big fan of Yakima roof racks but, honestly, wish I would have went with this setup for my bikes from the beginning.

Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
was able to attach the bike rack to my 2020 equinox without any problems. Right now only 1 bike on it but will have another one later. Ready for a "glow roll."
Excellent bike rack. Got it together and heading to the trail in 15 minutes and the whole rack is solid (no looseness at the hitch) and the bike is secured tightly. Bike sits raised at or above the height of my step bumper on the Ford Ranger that it is attached to. Does not touch tailgate but with the bike in the inner position the tailgate and campershell cannot be opened at all. Easy to use a cable lock. The only real negative is that with the rack bolted into the reciever hitch (which DOES get rid of all rattle) it is necessary to use a wrench to take the rack off the truck. So, I will be using the bolt for long trips and a standard hitch pin for daily rides on the trail. I would buy this again because of the great bang for the buck and because it is solid, well made, and secure.

Softride Shuttle Pad Tailgate Pad for Mid-Size Trucks - Up to 6 Bikes - 54" Wide
Slips a bit--need to pay attention on long hauls. But for shuttle, or when you can't fit all the kids bikes into the standard hitch-mounted carrier, this is a great choice.
Order process was easy & information was great. The order processed quickly & came on time. It looks & works greats. It was easy to put on & took only a few minutes to install. I have 2 expensive bikes & one is an extra large frame. It fits great. The only thing I had to add when transporting was a strap around the tires on my tailgate as a precaution & to prevent any movement. It would be fine without it & the product works exactly as I expected. I put in on a 2000 Toyota Tundra. Very Happy! Exactly what I have been looking for & the price was just right. Thank You!!!

Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Carrier - Fork Mount - Bolt On
Love this product! I built a great bike carrying system for my F-150 using two of these fork clamps. They are easy to install and extremely well made. No more tangled bikes and lots more room in the bed for other stuff! Best way to go for a nice bike rack system. Thanks, Phil T.
Had bought three of these a year ago and placed it on a cut 2" x 4" for three bikes. All three bikes (2 MTB and 1 Road) now easily fit the 5'7" bed of my Ram 1500. No worries with the quick release and no more stress taking the whole family to the trails. So glad I got these.

Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Rack - 1 Bike
Fits a 93 Ford Ranger w/Truck box! Just have to strap front tire down. This is what I was looking for. Thanks!!
This product is great. It was everything I had hoped for to secure my bike.

Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad for Mid-Size Trucks - Up to 7 Bikes - 53" Wide
It has 7 different areas to strap bicycles down but there is definitely not room to strap 7 bikes down from what I can tell. The straps were a little tricky to feed under the tailgate and pull up at the same time with only one person. Overall it works pretty well but it appears to only have enough room for 4 MTN bikes.
Work good for my Toyota Tacoma 2023 tailgate

Yakima BlockHead Single Bike Truck Bed Mounted Rack - Bolt-on - 9-mm Skewer
Have used the block head bike mounts by Yakima on trips of 800 to 1500 miles with no incident. Easy to mount the bikes and they have not released even on bumpy roads. Great product for my truck box and bikes are always in view. Easiest way I have found to transport our bikes
With a little adaption the Yakima brackets mounted to my built in bed rails on my 2010 Nissan Frontier. With my truck cap this makes my bikes safe and secure, out of sight out of mind.

Swagman Patrol Truck Bed Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Fork Mount - 9-mm Skewer and 15-mm Thru-Axle
The quality of the rack is fantastic. Sadly the keys do not work on the Locking Quick Release Skewers. I've contacted Swagman about this and am waiting for a response.
Quite pleased with nearly everything regarding this rack. Setup was super easy right out of the box, loved that I didn't need any tools. Bikes feel very secure and I haven't noticed any shifting or movement while driving around. My only complaint is that it's possible for someone to remove (or steal) the locking skewers when there's no bike attached just by unscrewing the endcap. Even if the handle is locked in place, just unscrew the endcap and you can remove the whole locking mechanism. So...works fantastic when there's a bike to be hauled, but makes me uncomfortable when I just park the truck and walk away. Works great, could just be a bit more secure.

Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Very nice bike carrier for my Radrover E-Bike. Very well engineered!!
Excellent bike rack. Easy to put together. Fits perfect with the etrailer curt hitch. This is a heavy duty bike rack, which also means it heavy but still manageable. Using this for my Aventon Ebike.

Hollywood Racks SR1 2-Bike Carrier - Spare Tire Mount
This HRSR1 bike carrier will not fit a 2023 Jeep Wrangler JL UNLESS you remove the stock Liddy Light and associated bracket. Upon discovering this, I was able to locate an aftermarket kit which allows for the relocation of the light to just above the rear camera. The kit was easily installed and the bike mount was installed just as easily as the directions explain. The new location of the light is partially obscured with the bikes mounted and, although not ideal, it is adequate and certainly better than total removal. I was unable to find any mention of this situation in the install instructions or reviews prior to purchase of the rack. I just wish I had been aware of this before purchase. I would have rated 5 stars for this product were it not for the slight hiccup. Kudos to etrailer. It is always a pleasure to do business with them. They are very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.
It's sturdy even off-road, and it's simple to take on and off. I've had to use my spare tire twice since owning this rack, and although I have to remove my bike and loosen the bike rack bolts a bit, it comes off and goes back on with minimal effort, which is nice when you're on the Alaska Highway and it's snowing. I've carried my full-suspension bike on this rack for 35k miles all over the U.S. and Canada. I like how my bike fits close to the tire, where I lock it. My tailgate opens without the bike touching the side of my Jeep. Great bang for the buck.

Swagman Tailwhip Tailgate Pad for Mid-Size Trucks - Up to 4 Bikes - 54" Wide
No difficulty putting the pad on my Tacoma tailgate by myself. I have an E-bike with a larger than normal down tube but the straps on the pad were sufficient in length to get around the tube and firmly affix the bike to the pad. 1st transport was about 25 hwy. miles and all went well. Good access to tailgate handle and back up camera if needed.. Satisfied with the purchase.
Very satisfied with this product! It is plug & play out of the box, it takes 1-2 minutes to install, and it fit my Honda tailgate like a glove. The cover is lightweight yet fully protects my trucks finish. The Swagman is an excellent value.

Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Super easy to load 4 bikes and go. Takes me 5 minutes to get all 4 on the rack, compared to 15-20 with the rack I had before. I would change nothing honestly. It's a fantastic rack. It has performed great. I can now quickly load 2 kids bikes and 2 adult bikes on the rack with no special adapters. We can hit trails faster and spend more time riding. There is no real downside. It's also significantly cheaper than competitors and provides a much easier and smooth experience. Is it a great rack for small families who want to ride together. No adapters needed for different sized bikes and super easy to load and unload. I would not recommend this particular model if you don't plan on using more than 2 slots. But for 3 or 4 it rules.
One year in and it is great. I have a 2021 Subaru accent and it is perfect. We carry 4 adult bikes and while it is a tight fit it works great. The rack is VERY solid and does not move when tightened up. Over the past year we have used it 3-4 times with no issues so far. It is easy to use and one person can easily load and unload the bikes. The tilt up feature is nice and when the rack is down and there are no bikes we can open the back hatch without an issue and there is plenty of clearance. We have been very happy with the performance and the price.

Is the Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack for 2 Bikes Compatible with the 2019 Ford Ranger?
Hi everyone, Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're taking a look at the Yakima Stage Two on our 2019 Ford Ranger. Now the Stage Two is gonna be a platform style bike rack. Holds the bike in these trays and primarily by our front tire. It's gonna mean it has zero frame contact, making it good for carbon frame and alternative frame bikes. And with a 70 pound weight capacity per bike it's gonna be good for some of our heavier e-bikes too.

Fit Check: Yakima FullTilt Bike Rack for 5 Bikes on a 2019 Ford Ranger

This is gonna be a hanging style bike rack, holds the bike by the frame and the bike hangs down from there. And it can hold up to five bikes.

Hi everyone, Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Yakima RidgeBack on our 2019 Ford Ranger. Now the RidgeBack's gonna be a hanging style bike rack. You can see the bike is hanging by the frame up top, held in with two ZipStrips, keeping it held in place, and then we've got a third one on the seat post here to limit our side to side movement. Now it doesn't completely eliminate that movement, but it will help with the bike contact. With this being a hanging style rack, we do wanna keep a couple things in mind.

Fit Check: Testing Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes on a 2019 Ford Ranger
Hi everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Hollywood Racks Destination two bike rack on our 2019 Ford Ranger. Now this is gonna be a platform style rack. It's gonna be more of an entry level option so it's a little bit more bare bones compared to some other options out there but it definitely gets the bikes from point A to point B. Now with this you're gonna have a 35 pound weight capacity per bike, so not good for e-bikes. And then it's gonna hold the bikes in these trays and primarily by our frame.

We've got three wheel straps on the bottom as secondary points of contact and then we've got our clamp up top holding onto the frame. Now frame contact does mean we wanna avoid carbon frame bikes but with the way the clamp actually rotates, pivots around it's gonna work just fine for alternative frame bikes.
Is the Curt Bike Rack for 4 Bikes Compatible with the 2019 Ford Ranger?
Hi everyone. Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're taking a look at the CURT Premium on our 2019 Ford Ranger. A CURT Premium is a hanging style bike rack.

There's a third strap around the seat post to help with our side to side movement limiting our bike to bike contact or, in some cases like this where the bike is actually quite close to the vehicle hopefully limiting that bike to vehicle contact as well.

Saris Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Ford Ranger sa772
Adam: What's going on, everybody, Adam, with etrailer today, we're going to be taking a look at the Saris Glide EX 2 hanging style bike rack on our 2019 Ford Ranger.So this is the two bike version, but we do have a four-bike rack version, which comes in three different colors, blue, bronze, and black. And then we also have a five bike rack version that just comes in one color, but just know that you do have that option and we're going to have all the same features for all of them.So, but for today, we're going to just focus on the two hanging style bike rack. And this is one of the three tie-down points we're going to have.We're going to have two here up top, and we're going to have one down here and it's going to be our anti-sway cradle. And that's just going to limit that bike to bike contact that you get whenever you're going down the road.And one thing to note with this one, which you're not going to get with a lot of hanging style bike racks is the distance between them. It's quite a bit almost about a foot between both of our bikes.So if you have some higher end bikes that aren't carbon fiber bikes, because we don't like to hang those, but if you have some of those types of bikes and you really don't want them hitting each other, I do think this is going to be one of your best bets to make sure that doesn't happen.So let's go ahead and start with the second really awesome feature about this. And that's the fact that we can actually tilt this with the bikes installed.
Hollywood Racks Tailgate Pad and Bike Rack Installation - 2019 Ford Ranger
Adam: Hi, everyone. Adam, with etrailer.com. Today we have a 2019 Ford Ranger. And we're going to be taking a look at the Hollywood racks tailgate pad. So first things first, this is going to be a tailgate pad for your mid-sized trucks. Meaning it's going to be about 53 inches wide.
Setting up the Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad for Full-Size Trucks on your 2019 Ford Ranger
Colin: Hey everyone, it's Colin here at etrailer. Today we have in here a 2019 Ford Ranger, and right now we're test fitting the Thule GateMate Pro truck bed bike rack. Now this is a mat that's going to go over top of your tailgate, it's going to be a really nice solution for getting some bikes loaded into the bed of your pickup, and securing them so they don't shift around at all while you're traveling. Now, in my personal opinion of if I own a truck, the last thing I want to do is put a hitch bike rack on it when I have the bed to use for that reason. However, like I said, sometimes when you get a lot of bikes loaded, they could shift around a lot, that could cause them to fall to the side of your vehicle, maybe scratch up the top right here, or even shift and scratch on each other.So with this, you just get that front tire over top of it and then use the included hook and loop strap to get it secured. You're going to be able to get up to six bikes loaded on here, so that's going to be more than enough capacity to get a family's worth of bikes loaded.
What our customers are saying:
"Great selection and even better prices. It was easy to find the bike rack that I wanted and would fit my hitch. I would highly recommend this site to anyone looking for anything that has to do with hitches."
