Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
The Swagman XTC bike rack is quality. I had the rack assembled and placed on my 2017 Ford Escape in less than an hour. Assembly instructions are straight forward and easy to understand. Placing two bikes on the rack requires some adjustments. My Trek Silque road bike and Specialized Rockhopper fit well. Once the adjustments are made you won't have to make them again unless you're racking different bikes. Sturdiness is great. Front to back sway is nonexsistent while side to side sway is minimal. I've driven my bikes around quite a bit with no problems. Locking the rack to the hitch is an ongoing process. Right now Im using a small padlock where the hitch pin goes, but will probably go with the locking hitch that is available for the rack. Love this rack. One important issue. I was considering a hanging rack, but these racks don't always work well with women's frames since the frame needs to straight across to work best. This platform rack has worked best for me.
Just purchased the XTC for my new 2012 Ford Escape. Easy installation, minimal assembly. The assembly is a very sturdy platform for transporting bicycles. Excellent bike rack for the price! Had to go purchase an additional 1/2 inch lock washer which allows easier access to bolt head when mounting to the 1-1/4 hitch.

Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Easy to install, secure. Very pleased ! Perfect of my Ford Escape. I can mount it and the bike unassisted. My brother recommended it because he has had his for several years and loves it ! He purchased his from etrailer.com also.
I love my etrailer bike rack. I have a Ford Escape, and I had to go to UHaul to get a hitch installed, but that was a good experience, although expensive. (Cost more than the etrailer!) After getting the hitch, it just takes about two minutes to put the etrailer rack on and load the bikes. I'm a little old lady, but I have no problem doing it myself. The etrailer gives me the freedom to explore all the rail trails in my area without having to rely on anyone else. Also, if you are concerned about it being stolen while you are out on the trail, it removes quickly and easily to fit inside the locked car.

Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Hanging Style
Could not be happier with the product and the service - moving from LA to Portland and we couldn't fit the bikes in the pod - so etrailer came to the rescue!

Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount
I have a 2003 Ford Escape and it fit perfectly! East to use and my bike is safe and secure. The only thing was it was recommended that I buy an extra bar if I had a girls bike - this was not needed for the kind of bike I have.
The rack arrived in a timely manner. Installation was easy. The unit seems very sturdy, but I have yet to take it foe a spin.

Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms
Put rack on my 2015 Ford Escape and when I tried to open the rear door the clamps bent the door metal. I cannot use this on my car . The brackets are to thick to fit into the openings, both top and bottom The bike rack is useless on my car as it was sent to me

Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms
Got this for our 2013 Ford Escape for a 4 hour trip we were making on roads varying from highway to back roads. The installation is easy if you take the time to plan out the straps and follow the directions. Lots of rubber and padding to keep from scratching the car. It seemed pretty solid even with the sway. It was a little weird when we tightened things down the top bar came off the glass. It didn't affect the performance, but it did make for a little concern going down the road. If we loosened things up to keep the bar on the glass it was too loose to prevent sway.
I cannot comment on use of it because I just bought it. However, I’m concerned with car scratches, and one of hooks sits rather tightly in the seam of my 2014 Ford Escape’s hatchback. It is doubtful I can put a protective material in with the hook, so am searching for some type of tape material to assist. Otherwise, testing it out, it seems secure on the car, and the quality of the product seems high. I am very impressed with e trailer’s service and website.

Swagman Upright Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Roof Rack Crossbars - Frame Mount
Then rack seems sturdy, but I was shorted on lock nuts for the bolts so I'll have to go pick some up. But the fast shipped it to me without any extra charge.
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!

Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Rack is very sturdy and heavy duty. Instructions were terrible. Locking hitch pin would not thread correctly and ended up damaging it. Thankfully the threads on rack were fine and I was able to use the non-locking threaded pin. Would like a replacement locking pin ASAP
For the price, it's a good-quality, sturdy bike rack. I have used it about 5-7 times with no issues. I only used it for one adult and two kids' bikes, but I am sure it can handle four bikes as advertised. It's great that the rack folds upwards when it's not required.

Kuat Beta Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Tilting
I love how easy this was to set up and how easy it connects to the hitch. And because it's so lightweight, I can easily install it myself.
Solid rack. Straps do a nice job keeping both bikes in place. I use additional bungee cords to leave no doubt. This is a great bike rack and I do recommend it even without the use of additional straps. Fits great into the hitch and the tightener works amazing.
How to Set Up Your Saris Freedom Bike Rack for 2 Bikes on a 2020 Ford Escape
Welcome to etrailer.com. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Saris Freedom Bike Rack here on a 2020 Ford Escape. So the Saris Freedom is gonna be a pretty robust bike rack for the Ford Escape. It's gonna be capable of doing quite a bit. It's gonna be able to fit in inch and a quarter hitches, as well as two inch hitches thanks to an adapter on the shank. And you're gonna have two different weight capacities for both of those instances.
Setting up the Swagman XTC2 TILT Bike Rack for 2 Bikes on a 2020 Ford Escape
Welcome to etrailer.com. Today we're taking a look at the Swagman XTC2 Tilt here on a 2020 Ford Escape. Right out the gate, the big things to note for this bike rack are you gonna have a 35-pound weight capacity per cradle. It's not gonna be compatible with Class I hitches for the inch and a quarter. It's only gonna work with the Class II and it's gonna have the frame hook to hold it down inside of the wheel hoops, which is gonna make it incompatible with carbon frame bikes. Taking a look at how the rack sits on the back of the Escape here today, you can see that your back windshield is gonna have most of its visibility retained.
Installation: Swagman Current Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes on a 2020 Ford Escape
Welcome to etrailer.com. Today, we're taking a look at the Swagman Current Bike Rack here on the 2020 Ford Escape. The Swagman Current is uniquely designed to handle electric bikes, so it's gonna have a 60 pound weight capacity per cradle in the two inch by two inch hitches, and it's gonna use a wheel hook design to secure the bike down into the two cradles. The hooks on here are very nice, because they do have such a thick padding. However, because they are hooks that clamp down on the frame, they will make it incompatible with any carbon frame bikes you may have. Looking at how the rack sits on here with a bike loaded up, we can see that our third brake light cowling is still fairly visible to any drivers behind us.
Mount: Thule Helium Bike Rack for 2 Bikes on a 2020 Ford Escape
Howdy everyone, John here and today we're taking a look at the Thule Helium on our 2020 Ford Escape. This is gonna be a great wheel tire hold for your lighter bikes. So let's take a closer look. It's able to hold by the wheels, so any of your odd shaped frame or your carbon frames are gonna be perfect for this. And in my opinion, whenever it comes to handles for these arms, this is probably one of the best for the wheel hold type. It's going to be a little bit goofy to push down, but overall, once you get it, it's much easier to work with this than some others, like the Inno Tire Hold, which has it down here, so you have to hold onto the arms as you push forward and press the button at the same time.
How to Install the Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack for 2 Bikes on a 2020 Ford Escape

And we also have an added ramp that you can get additionally to help make your bike loading and unloading a little bit easier. But since it is a front wheel mount this is also gonna be great for your carbon fiber frame bikes, as well as, anything with an odd-shaped frame bike as well. One of the great features about this rack is that you can tilt it away with the bikes loaded on there, and I like where the handle is at to tilt it away, it's right here.

Taking a closer look at it, it actually is going to have a pretty good weight capacity 70 pounds per bike, and it's also going to have a slew of features. Let's take a closer look. Now, like I said, it's going to have a pretty good weight capacity which is going to be able to hold everything from your heavier mountain bikes to your E-bikes, but it unfortunately will not be able to hold any of your fat tire bikes, because it only has a three inch tire width capacity.

Hi there everyone, John here and today we're taking a look at the Hollywood RV Rider on our 2020 Ford Escape. This is gonna be a choice if you happen to have your heavier bikes or your fat tire bikes. Let's take a closer look. Now this is gonna be a bike rack that is not only going to work on your vehicle, but say you have an RV or motor home or a flat tow, anything like that, you're gonna be able to also use it on. So it's going to miss some of the specific quality of lifes that you see with other heavier e-bikes. But it's still going to have a very high weight capacity of 80 pounds per bike, which is gonna be great.

So let's take a closer look. So this is gonna have a 35 weight capacity per bike, so that's gonna be pretty good for your road bikes and some of your lighter mountain bikes, but I would not recommend this for heavier, fat tire bikes or e-bikes. It's also not gonna be great for any odd shaped frame bikes or any kind of carbon frame because it is frame-mounted. So keep that in mind.

Install: Hollywood Racks Destination E Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes on a 2020 Ford Escape
Hi to everyone, John here, and today, we're taking a look at the Hollywood Destination E-Bike on our 2020 Ford Escape. This is gonna be a great choice if you need to get your e-bikes or your bigger fat tire bikes out onto the trail, and get to riding. It's going to have a 70 pound weight capacity per bike, along with a 4.5 wheel width maximum, which is really good. You'll be able to hold the majority of your bikes that you run into, whether those are mountain bikes, fat tire bikes, or e-bikes. Along with that, I do wanna point out that this is frame mounted, so, if you have odd shaped frames, it's a little bit hard to work with. As you can see, even though we have a straight frame, it's still a little bit of a pain to, kind of, get in the right position, and then, also you won't be able to use this on any kind of carbon frame, so that's always something to keep in mind, but, if you happen to have something that's a little bit sturdier and heartier, I think this is gonna be a good choice.
