Hollywood Racks SR1 2-Bike Carrier - Spare Tire Mount
Have yet to utilize the bike rack but the packaging was secure, heavier than I believed it would be and appears to be well built.
Installing this item was nice and easy on my 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK (I'm just a lil lady and I did this solo). I use a heavy 55lb e-bike for this rack, and it does the job! Very minimal movement on the bike when it's mounted since there are plenty of straps to secure the bicycles. Very happy with this purchase.

Yakima SpareRide 2 Bike Rack - Spare Tire Mount - Folding Arms
After a couple of weeks of researching which type of bike rack I wanted for my Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK (hitch mount or spare tire), I decided on the spare tire mount. And after a 4hr (roundtrip) mountain biking weekend escape, I'm very happy with my decision. What I like about the rack: well built, very sturdy with bike(s) mounted (no sway or rattle), arms fold down and lock in place when not in use (looks slick), full access to cargo area without needing to remove rack, rack and bike cable locks included, economical, lifetime warranty and of course the dual bottle openers ; ) What I would improve upon or revise in a future model: arms should be longer (even just an inch because bikes rub slightly so I had to add padding), more use of aluminum rather than plastic (thinking long term durability of the plastic locking teeth and arms) Thanks eTrailer
This bike carrier is great! It is very well made and is secured to the vehicle with a keyed lock. It comes with a locking cable for the bike as well. I can open the tailgate and access the trailer hitch while the bike is on the carrier. I could not be more pleased!

Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
I own a 2005 Jeep Wrangler X with 31x10.5x15 oversized tires and wheels. I installed B6196001 HighRock 4x4 Oversize Tire Carrier by Bestop to carry larger spare tire. I needed a bike carrier that would carry our two crusier bikes and clear my spare tire. After measuring, I ordered: -> S64650 - Swagman 2-bike carrier -> 80300 - 7" Hitch Adapter 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver -> RM-061 - Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 2" Trailer Hitches Our order arrived very quickly, etrailer.com upgraded the shipping. All these products arrived well packaged and without damage. In 15 minutes I had every thing assembled, installed on my Jeep and bikes loaded. The bike carrier is very well constructed, finish is excellent and easy to adjust. When adjusting wheel loops and loading bikes, make sure you pay attention to bike pedal position. I chose this extension because I did not want to use the adapter that comes with the bike carrier, I wanted as few parts as possible to keep rattles to a minimum and gives me more options for towing. The anti-rattle bolt/pin firmly secures the bike carrier to the extension and the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch keeps the extension adapter from rattling in the receiver. Road tested approximately 25 miles over rough city roads ( including railroad tracks ), county roads and highway. Bikes traveled very well without any rattles. I can remove my complete setup quickly, fold and put in rear of Jeep if desired. I am very well pleased with my purchase. Note to etrailer: Please consider offering Roadmaster Quiet Hitch in black to match receiver and accessories. Paul In the Land of Oz . . . Just South of the Yellow Brick Road!
I put this on the back of a 2003 Wrangler today and fit was such that I could transport a bicycle in either position. This was even with a tire on the back of the Wrangler. E-trailer had the bike rack in my hands in less than three days...Fantastic service.

Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Easy to assemble and appears well made, will be using it the first time in a couple of weeks.
The rack got here in great time and took all of 20min to put together and install on my Jeep Wrangler. Quality is very good and the product is well thought out. I bought it to carry two mountain bikes and there is no way I can do that without damaging the spare tire cover or worse. If I took the pedal off the inside bike it would ride against the tire cover. You could carry a mountain bike on the outside and maybe a lightweight racing bike on the inside with the pedal off ........ maybe. I want to stress that this problem is directly due to the rear mounted spare. I like the rack a lot and can fix the problem by using a short hitch extender which I have. It would be very helpful for etrailer to specify what kinds or at least types of bikes that can be carried together on this rack when used with a vehicle with a rear mounted spare tire. The rack holds my large mountain bike very securely and I really like the ratchet down hooks that hold the top bar. My bike has the cables under the top bar so a hanging carrier is out. But I actually like this type of carrier better as it holds the bike to prevent it bouncing around and scraping the finish off of it. The carrier is a great buy for the cost.

Surco Spare Tire 3-Bike Carrier
Second one I've owned -- first was unfortunately lost in a move. Solid product that works well with my Jeep Wrangler. Carrier attaches easily to my spare tire, bikes attach easily to carrier. Have successfully made numerous cross-country with bikes with no issues. Convenient that swing gate opens without bike removal. What more could you ask of a bike carrier?
Very easy to install on the spare tire. Sturdy construction and priced 1/3 of the top name brands. Also, non of the top name brands hold three bikes like this does. Extremely satisfied and highly recommend it to anyone.

SportRack Ridge Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Swing Away
This bike rack has worked well for us. We have a Jeep Wrangler, with the spare tire on the back of the tailgate, and needed a rack that would hold the bikes in a trailer hitch, and swing away so we could easily access the rear storage of the jeep. This has worked out perfectly! I did have to use a hitch extender to clear the rear tire, but that was expected. The rack works well, holds the bikes as expected, and is easy to use, and get on and off the vehicle. I am very satisfied!
2017 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and 2017 Toyota Tacoma - Having heavily researched this and other products for a 4 bike rack for our Rubicon and Tacoma, I decided on the SR2415. The Rubicon was the concern with finding a rack that would work for both vehicles. We have an after market Class III hitch on the Rubicon that is almost flush with the rear bumper (protrudes about 1" or less). This rack came very close to touching the tire at the top when the Bike Holder Bar is in the stored position (about 1/2" of clearance). We have BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM LT255-75-R17. Purchased a Locking Hitch pin with this, but the rack comes with a threaded ping and the racks pin hole is also threaded on the right side. Was not able to use the locking bolt but the bolt that came with it holds it very tight. Only concern it being stolen. The Tacoma wasn't a concern but having the swing feature is extremely helpful for needing to access the bed/tailgate.Swings out and away from the Jeep with a little more effort than expected. Overall we are very happy and excited to start using this and will report back any updates. Hitch: Smittybilt JH45 Receiver Hitch Read Tire: BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM LT255-75-R17 Vehicles: 2017 Jeep Rubicon and 2017 Toyota Tacoma Dimensions: Tire to Closest Part to Rack: ~1/2in or less (Top of Rack when folded down - Folded out for use is 3-4 inches) Next Closest Point of Contact: Hand Tightening Bolt is 1-2 in from the tire, makes it a little difficult to tighten.

Malone Runway Spare Tire Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - Adjustable Arms
The bike rack arrived quickly. It was missing a wrench. We read the directions but found a video that was very helpful to us in setting the rack in place.
The eTrailer has been a God send and we are so grateful. Our son-in-law died from COVID last year which left our daughter and two grand-daughters alone. This eTrailer was a gift which allows the three of them to get out for bike rides whenever they need to “clear their heads” and be refreshed in God’s glorious creation. This is the ONLY three bike carrier we know of… and Thank You for making it available. God bless.

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 NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount - Matte Black
I've tried different brands and styles of racks over the years and the Kuat NV 2.0 Base Hitch Bike Rack is the one rack to rule them all. I was a little concerned by lack of a rear wheel cradle, but bikes are held securely without scratches or paint rub common with most racks. After a year of near daily use, I'm confident my bike is staying where I put it (always double check you've secured it properly). My 2003 Jeep Wrangler required a short hitch extension to clear the rear mounted spare, but even with that it's bomb proof!
Very high quality bike rack. So far very impressed. It was easy to put together and instructions were excellent. I will use on 2022 wrangler and it will require hitch extender. Also I had to remove front fenders on our e bikes to allow easy and secure hold on front tire.

Saris Freedom Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
This product works very well for the type of bikes we got (Electra Townie men’s and woman’s). Not the best rack for the type of vehicle (2013 Jeep Wrangler). Unable to open back hatch to let dog out until the bikes are off the rack. First trip was 600 miles with bikes in tow and didn’t even know they were there. I love the fact that this is a American made product. I am happy with my purchase. Thanks to the support staff at etrailer it was a great experience
Great website. It was laid out very well with very helpful videos for their bike racks. The Safari bike rack fits perfectly on my 1999 Jeep Wrangler and for my 29" full suspension mountain bike.
Fit Check: RockyMounts AfterParty Swing Away Bike Rack for 2 Bikes on a 2021 Jeep Wrangler
Hey everybody, Cooper here at etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Rockymounts Afterparty on our 2021 Jeep Wrangler. Now to get in directly why we want this for the Jeep Wrangler and why this is such a good recommendation is the Rockymounts Afterparty actually comes with a swing away function. We found that most of our bike racks that have a tilt don't have enough an aggressive enough tilt to really open up on the hatch. So this swing way function is essentially going to help us correct that. Down here at the bottom of the rack, we do have this knob that when we loosen up, we are going to be able to pull a pin that is on the passenger side and go ahead and pull this away while also pivoting it.
Fit Verified: Yakima FullTilt Bike Rack for 5 Bikes on a 2021 Jeep Wrangler
Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we have the Yakima FullTilt five bike hanging rack and we'll take a look at how it fits our 2021 Jeep Wrangler. So the Yakima FullTilt is the bike rack I would get if I had to get a hanging rack but I wanted one of the best ones. This is what I would get. It does have a lot of premium features that make it easier for you to load the bikes up, secure the bikes. And the downside though, is that even though it tilts away like its name says, with the Jeep Wrangler not really any hanging bike can tilt back far enough for you to reasonably open up that door. So with that in mind, if you wanted full door access, I'd recommend getting something like a hitch extender or a swing away hitch extender.
Does the Yakima RidgeBack Bike Rack for 4 Bikes Suit Your 2021 Jeep Wrangler
Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer. And today I have the Yakima RidgeBack four bike hanging rack and we'll take a look at how it fits our 2021 Jeep Wrangler. So the RidgeBack is a tried and true bike rack. It's been around for a while. It does have the ability to carry up to five bikes if you get the five bike version. So if I wanted a hanging rack and I wanted to carry around a lot of bikes more than I could with a platform rack, but I also didn't wanna take up as much space as a platform rack would, this would be one of my options.
How Does the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 2 Bikes Fit on a 2021 Jeep Wrangler?
Hello everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer and today I have the Thule T2 Pro XTR two-bike platform rack and we'll take a look at how it fits our 2021 Jeep Wrangler. So the T2 Pro XTR, other than having a long name, does have some premium features that help out with carrying your bikes safely and securely. You have a good weight capacity of 60 pounds per bike, but I am using this bike rack with a hitch extender and that's because when we have that spare tire on, we have it folded up, it gets a little too close and we're not getting as good of a fit which is why we have an extender to push this out. Most of your bike racks with a Jeep Wrangler with a spare tire are going to need some kind of hitch extender if you want full use out of them. But having that extender has its downsides as well, like less hitch tongue weight capacity and it has a bit more movement if you don't get one with an anti-rattle feature. So with that in mind, let's focus on the features of the T2 Pro XTR.
Fit Verified: Saris Freedom Bike Rack for 2 Bikes on a 2021 Jeep Wrangler
Hi, everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today, I have the Saris Freedom 2-Bike Platform Rack, we'll take a look at how it fits our 2021 Jeep Wrangler. So the Saris Freedom is actually a really good fit with the Wrangler, because the spares tire limits the options for bike racks if you do not wanna use a hitch extender. So this sits pretty far back past its shank, which gives us that clearance to carry those two bikes. And if you wanna compare this with some other racks, well, this is gonna be on the still more affordable side while having a good weight capacity for electric bikes and some versatility for different sized and shaped bikes. So if you have say a large mountain bike and maybe a smaller road bike, this actually will work even better for you compared to the Saris SuperClamp, because this can go wherever while the SuperClamp wheel mounts are limited to each other. Now, focusing here on our Jeep, while we do have that clearance to add the bike on, we don't have as much clearance for things like tilting it away or opening up the door.
Fit Verified: Hollywood Racks Destination E Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes on a 2021 Jeep Wrangler
Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer and today I have the Hollywood Racks Destination E two bike platform rack for your electric bikes. And we'll take a look at how it fits our 2021 Jeep Wrangler. So the Destination E is really designed for electric bikes where you have an included ramp. Although the ramp's not attached to the rack you gotta keep it inside your vehicle and it has other features like adjustability for different types of frames. The downside though is that with how it fits on the Wrangler, it does not tilt down anywhere close to where you can open up the door. So the issue isn't the tilt, the issue is where this mast sits.
Does the Thule Hitching Post Pro Bike Rack for 4 Bikes Suit Your 2021 Jeep Wrangler
Hi, everyone. Aiden here with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Thule Hitching Post Pro hitch-mounted bike rack and seeing how it fits on the back of our 2021 Jeep Wrangler. It is gonna be a hanging style bike rack, capable of carrying up to four bikes and up to 35 pounds each, so a pretty good amount for most of our mountain bikes, road bikes. Just be mindful of it whenever you're loading it up that you don't exceed that. And a couple other limitations with it, because of the hanging rack and it makes contact with the frame of our bike, it's not gonna be the best fit for carbon frame bikes.
Compatible? Yes! The Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 4 Bikes Fits a 2021 Jeep Wrangler
Hi everyone, Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Hollywood Rack's Destination four-bike rack and seeing how it fits on the back of our 2021 Jeep Wrangler. Now this is gonna be a platform-style bike rack, holding the bike by our frame, using this cradle with a strap around it, and then two additional wheel straps down to the bottom that pull the bike down and in. That method of holding the bike actually helps get a really solid hold on the rack, which is great. This is one of my favorite bike racks to recommend for people getting into biking and looking for their first bike rack, especially if they need something for their family, because this does accommodate kids' bikes exceptionally well. It works with alternative frames very well, too, because this cradle slides up and down the mast independently from each other and rotates 360 degrees to accommodate for those alternative frames.
Is the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes Compatible with the 2021 Jeep Wrangler?
Hi everyone. Aiden here at the trailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Hollywood Racks Destination Two Bike Rack and seeing how it fits on the back of our 2021 Jeep Wrangler. Now this is gonna be a platform style bike rack and in my opinion, one of the best entry level options into the world of platform style bike racks that we offer. Great, because it's a good entry level price point, it's gonna be affordable for a lot of people but also it packs a lot of value. I think of the ones in its category it's going to be probably one of the easiest to use and very accommodating because it works great with alternative frame bikes and kids bikes and it has a 35 pound weight capacity.
What our customers are saying:

Great prices, quality and service support. Rest assured, I'll be recommending you to anyone who asks. Thanks again."
