Thule Apex XT Bike Rack for 5 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting
Great quality materials as usual from Thule. However, it is difficult to get 5 bicycles close together enough to fit on the rack. If you don’t mind contact between your bikes then you can make it work. Very tight squeeze though.
Very nice bike rack. I had previously used the Lets Go Aero BikeWing T4 but needed room for a 5th bike. This rack is much easier to install on the car, and easier to load. Getting 5 bikes to fit is still a big puzzle, but possible. It's been sturdy on long drives, and I've really appreciated the tightening mechanism on the hitch and the built-in lock.

Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount
I use it to carry 2 Fat Tire E-Bikes, First if your bike has a front fender you're in trouble and you'll have to improvise the front wheel hold down. I also had to order new rear wheel hold down straps because the ones it came with are for smaller tires. The biggest problem is when hitting a large bump in the road the rack would drop down to it's 45 degree loading angle and if your bikes are not secure you're going to lose them. Using the 4 bike setup is putting ton of stress on your hitch.
Excellent customer service and super fast delivery! Bike rack is true to Thule quality and workmanship. The rack is sturdy and the bikes completely secure. Bikes do not touch each other at all. The rack is quite heavy, but not too hard to handle and load.

Thule Apex Swing XT Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Swing Away
I've been using the Thule Apex XT Swing with my 2018 Toyota 4Runner, and I couldn’t be happier with it. The setup was incredibly easy, and the swing-out feature is a total game-changer. Unlike traditional hitch racks that require unloading bikes to access the trunk, this rack swings out effortlessly, allowing me to pop the hatch anytime—even when fully loaded. The swing arm mechanism feels solid and secure, even when loaded with four bikes on gravel or dirt roads. There's no excessive movement or wobbling, and the anti-sway cradles do a great job of keeping the bikes stable.
This rack is working great. I love the swing away arm. Makes very easy to get luggage in and out or more often the dogs in and out the back of my SUV when on the road.

Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount
We have two electric bikes which fit on it perfectly. Very easy to operate and hook up to our Rivian R1S. Highly recommend it!
Easy to assemble, easy to use. Needed a more robust rack to handle the weight of two e-bikes and this model did the trick.

Thule Camber Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting
etrailer.com is as awesome. They had the best price, even considerably less than Amazon. They assigned a costumer service rep to my order who was very knowledgeable. The product itself performs as expected. It is a very durable and sturdy bike rack that was super super easy to assemble. I highly recommend etrailer.com and Thule products.
Very solid rack. I wish a locking pin for the hitch was included.
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!"
