Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
The assembly of the rack was straight forward and quick. I have used it once and had no problems. Loading the bikes was very easy compared to a roof rack. Overall I like the rack. After the installation, I bought a bolt lock to replace the standard hitch bolt. The bolt lock made the rack sway slightly during travel, but not a real concern. Being able to fold the wheel rails up when not using the rack to carry bikes is a nice feature. I am pleased with this purchase.
I am impressed with this company's professionalism. They kept me informed from start to finish with emails and tracking info. The product is just as advertised and expected.

Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Hanging Style
Easy to follow instructions - easy assembly. Fits great on my Highlander and has fittings for many, many other cars. Holds bikes well - ample distance between car and bike so no scratching! No need for a hitch style carrier - this works great.
The Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rake for 2 bikes is a good product. I used it to transport my mountain e-bike. I choose this particular unit because it can handle the weight 2 of bikes (non-e-bikes) and the weight of my e-bike is equivalent to weight of 2 bikes. Note: Must readjust the straps after mounting the bike to the rake.

Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
This rack is mounted on our 2-inch hitch and feels very solid. Two regular adult bikes were easy to mount. The wheel loops tighten so you don't have to continually readjust if you put the bikes on in the same order. It does stick out from the vehicle and because it is low I am worried that someone will hit it in a parking lot. For now, I decided to take it off while not in use. We made our first trip today and went on the freeway no problem. Overall I am very satisfied.
Received the bike rack shipment today and did a partial assembly, following the easy to understand instructions. Plan on completing the installation on the vehicle tomorrow. We were concerned on possible missing parts as the package was badly damaged - see pics - but all were there and we are very satisfied. Suzanne L.

Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Bought the Draw-Tite trailer hits together with the Swagman XTC4 4-bike rack. Bought based on reviews on e-trailer and other sites that this is a sturdy and good-working combination for carrying 4 bikes. * Delivery: Fast (<5 days) * Packaging: Package had holes, which is not unusual as the box with the hitch has a lot of empty spaces. Others had same issue, but nothing to worry about. The hitch cannot really break easily and the hardware is safely stored in the 2inch receiver. * Installation: Very nice video instructions on etrailer. Installation really can use two people, but it's fairly easy with two people. Had some problems with one of the nine screws to bite although I did a try run before mounting the hitch. Worked after some minutes of wiggling the hitch so that the screw got the correct angle to bite. * Usage: Installed the day of delivery and used it the next day. It's the first time I used a trailer hitch and for sure the first time I used to carry 4 bikes. Stopped looking in the rear-view mirror after 1 minutes seeing that it's barely moving at all. So with a limited use so far I can confirm other's reviews of this combination and I think it works great. Recommended.
What we like about it: Easy on-off for 3 bikes; adjustable; folds up when not needed; transports very securely. Lock built in to bike rack offers mental security as well. What we don't like: hard to get 4th bike on--have to be strategic about placement of bikes/directions they are pointing, to fit 2 adult & 2 kid bikes, one with stunt spikes. Also, when it's up you can't access cargo space at all, and when it's down, it's hard to access the cargo space b/c the bike rack gets in the way of opening/reaching into it. And when flipped up (not using), it still sticks out quite a bit, making it hard to park in tight spaces. it's not very difficult to remove it, but it's heavy. Finally, one of our adjustable "hooks" (the part that hooks over the middle of the bike to secure it) doesn't adjust easily--need 2 hands' strength to squeeze it hard enough to get it to move. It's been this way since we first got it. For these reasons, can't give it 5 stars--but we give it 4 b/c we think as we use it more we'll get the strategy down, and the convenience and security and clever design make it worth 4/5 stars. We've definitely done more family biking since we bought it and that was the goal.

Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount
Easy to install and remove. A great product if you don't want to mess with a traditional rack that uses a trailer hitch. We have no hitch so works perfect on our Toyota Highlander.
Way too light duty for what is advertised. It seemed to be made out of 1/2 inch electrical conduit. I would never put three bikes on that rack. I only had two bikes on the rack. While on trip through Idaho the wind was so strong that one of the bikes partially blew off the rack. We traveled 1,800 miles and upon arriving home I actually sawed the bike rack up and threw it away so that no one else would use it and cause an accident. I've already found a different brand that is HEAVY DUTY and I will stick with that brand.

Curt Bike Rack for 5 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Tilting
The straps are junk and four of them tore within a week of using them. I also almost lost one bike because of the straps. If I could I would return this unit.
We used this bike rack for at least 2 RV trips. The third trip we took we lost one bike off of the rear most rack. Ended up having to replace this bike rack with one from another store. Would only recommend for local trips only.

Curt Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Tilting
This rack has worked well for us. I fits the Curt hitch perfectly. It is easy to attach bicycles securely. We can get three adult bicycles on this hitch (see photo). There are sufficient means to protect against sway.
This Curt bike carrier is ideal for my front hitch that I recently installed on my 2005 GMC. I had to remove my front tag holder for clearance but it works perfectley. It can be easily removed and installed on the back hitch when I'm not towing my camper. This is a well built and solid bike carrier. It was delivered very timely and well packaged.

Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Good solid no nonsense bike rack. I like it. Straps and ratchets are well made, bikes are secure. Metal frame has a rough powder coated finish, seems like it will be rust resistant. Money well spent, I feel like I got a good deal.
The Rack is very good and works well. I think that some of the directions do not highlight some of the order in assembly steps which resulted in partiallly taking it apart and bending one of the attachment screws which appeared to be very soft.

Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms
Bought this for my 2019 Toyota Highlander. Installation was easy, especially after watching the etrailer video. I've had the rack for about a year and it's held up and worked well the dozen or so times I've used it. I have had zero issues even on very long road trips (NYC to Outer Banks, NC). Folds up nice and tight when not in use, which is great for storage. Would recommend.
Great exterior bike carrier. Easy to use and positioning on the car is good.

Swagman Chinook Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
The ordering process was easy, lots of pictures. The package was delivered on time and the box was without any damage. The bike rack was really easy to put together. All metal construction, except for the contact point for the bike. Feels solid.
This performed great with the Curt class 3 hitch I also bought from you! Very stable, easy to move out of the way, load, unload, and isn't wobbly on the road at all. Easy to put together, too. Very glad I bought it.

Yakima FullSwing Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Swing Away
Heavy duty rack, fit very nicely on my Highlander
Installation today was pretty straight forward. We had no problems. It may require two people to install the bike rack onto the hitch because it is pretty heavy. But, as a 41 yo woman I was able to attach the bike rack to the hitch by myself. We haven't used it yet to transport our bikes, but I imagine that will be seamless too.

Swagman Upright Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Roof Rack Crossbars - Frame Mount
Great "universal" rack for a lot less $ than other brands. With just minimal knowledge of nuts, bolts and spacers this rack can easily be attached to a slightly curved roof rack, like my toyta highlander.
Work as advertised. Easy to fit to a caf roof rack. I work buy again.

Install: Swagman Chinook Bike Rack for 2 Bikes on a 2020 Toyota Highlander
Rob: Hey everybody, it's Rob here at etrailer.com. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Swagman Chinook 2 Bike Platform Style Rack on our 2020 Toyota Highlander.Now, our Chinook is going to allow us to take two bikes with us to and from the trail. Now, the nice thing about it is, is that it is a platform rack, which has a lot of the nice features that people tend to not really think about until we need them. Let's say we get to the trail. Maybe we're leaving. Either way, we need to get into our back hatch.
Installing the Thule Helium Bike Rack for 2 Bikes on your 2020 Toyota Highlander
Ryan: Hey everybody, Ryan here at Etrailer. Today on our 2020 Toyota Highlander, we're going to be taking a look at the Thule Helium two bike platform rack. So this rack is going to be great for all types of bikes, but particularly those bikes with carbon fiber frames. And that's because it's going to hold the bike down or secure it using these wheel hooks. So we're not going to have to worry about any frame contact or our paint job getting messed up, everything like that.Now, a lot of times with these multi bike platform racks, there's an issue when you go to load a couple bikes on it. You don't have a ton of room here, and so a lot of times what can happen is your handlebars can kind of interfere with your other bike and kind of just make it a pain.
What our customers are saying:
"I ordered a trailer hitch and a bike rack carrier the order was shipped with in three days. To put the hitch on only took about 30 mins. only had to drill two 1/2 holes. fit like a glove."
