• Recommended Bike Rack For Curt Hitch on 2024 Toyota Crown
  Hey Tom, There is a bike rack I highly recommend for your 2024 Toyota Crown and the Curt Trailer Hitch # C77ZV, which is the Saris Freedom Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # SA4412B. What I love about this rack is its unique combination of being easy to handle but also really strong. It weighs a mere 22-1/2 lbs but still has a 60 lb per bike capacity so it'll work even with ebikes. I also really like how it has a shank that rises 8 inches to help ensure it doesn't touch the ground. That rise is...

• Kuat Transfer V2 3-Bike Rack vs. RockyMounts WestSlope 3-Bike Rack
  Those are a couple of great options you mentioned, but between the RockyMounts WestSlope 3-Bike Rack # RKY10223 and the Kuat Transfer V2 3-Bike Rack # KU24FR, I would definitely go with the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU24FR. There are a number of reasons for this, including ease of use, clearances, and fit of bikes. Starting with ease of use, while the WestSlope uses a threaded hitch pin that requires you to use a ratchet like # PTW38106-24 to install, with the Transfer V2 you simply slide its...

• Recommended RV Rated Bike Rack to Carry 4 Bikes
  You're correct we have several options of RV rated 4-bike racks that I've linked on this page. The most economical rack is the Swagman XP # S64940. It is a good rack that is rated for fifth-wheel usage. It has rotating cradles that help when using it with alternative framed bikes. It includes a locking knob to deter bike theft and the hitch lock can be purchased separately with the Locking Anti-Rattle Threaded Hitch Pin # S64027. Some people also like to add a ratchet and socket to...

• Is Threaded Hitch Bolt or Hitch Pin Better for Hanging-Style 4-Bike Rack
  A hitch pin is absolutely a better option than a threaded hitch bolt for a bike rack because it is much easier to use and does not have any comparative drawbacks. A 4-bike hanging-style rack such as the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR is a very high-quality rack but because of its threaded hitch pin you would also need to carry around the Ratchet with 3/4" Socket for Anti-Rattle Hitch Bolts # PTW38106-24 to tighten it down. A similar bike rack, the Yakima RidgeBack 4 Bike Rack # Y02458...

• Can RockyMounts MonoRail 2-Bike Rack Carry 2 Lectric Step Thru E-Bikes?
  Yes! The RockyMounts MonoRail 2-Bike Rack # RKY10004 can carry two Lectric XP Step Thru Bikes. Just make sure to take off the battery when transporting. In fact it's always wise to remove E-bike batteries since the road vibrations and bounces on any bike rack are not good for long-term battery life. Since you have fat tires, make sure to use the included strap extender. Also, your Lectric bikes have that slight fender in the front. It's short enough to use the front wheel mount, but try...

• Recommended Anti-Rattle for Swagman XC Bike Rack
  The Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack Platform Style for 1-1/4" and 2" Trailer Hitches # S64650 does not require a specific wrench or socket. It does use a 3/4 inch wrench or socket and you will want to move the shank up and down as you tighten the bolt. If you want a wrench and socket you can use the Ratchet with 3/4" Socket for Anti-Rattle Hitch Bolts # PTW38106-24. You may want to use the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman Bike Racks w/ 1-1/4" & Combo Shanks - 7' # S64031 to further...

• The Rhino Rack 2 Bike Rack Is A Little Loose In The Hitch, What Can I Do?
  The Rhino Rack 2 bike rack # RRRBC045 is made for a 2 inch hitch. If you are having a little bit of rattling going on you may need to tighten the anti rattle bolt down a little bit more. If you don't have a 3/4" ratchet, we have one # PTW38106-24. Tightening this down is what is going to keep the rack in place without having any rattle. If there is something else going on here, I am here to help. This is the only thing that I can think of that could be the issue you're having. If the...

• Manually Lowering/Raising Electric Trailer Jacks
  Electric trailer jacks can be cranked manually using a socket and wrench. Typically they take a 3/4 inch socket # PTW38106-24, but you will need to find an extension to reach the gear inside. There should be a plug on the top of your jack, if not you may have to remove the top cover to access.

• What Anti-Rattle Device Should I Use For My 2 Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver?
  The correct anti rattle really all depends on what kind of accessory you are using. If you are using a hollow shank accessory, I recommend using the Curt Anti Rattle Kit Part # C22321. All you have to do is insert the bracket into the shank of your accessory, then insert the threaded hitch pin, tighten it down and your accessory will be as solid as the hitch. You will need to have a wrench whenever you install or remove the accessory. Here at etrailer we use Part # PTW38106-24 in the...

• Can the Anti-Rattle Bolt On the RockyMounts MonoRail Bike Rack Be Switched Out
  The RockyMounts MonoRail Bike Rack for 2 Bikes part # RKY10003 comes with its own threaded hitch pin which also incorporates a lock. This hitch pin cannot be replaced as the thread pitch is specific to the rack. I recommend making sure the bolt is tight using a tool like part # PTW38106-24 as well as all other hardware on the rack. The only other option for reduced movement would be an extra strap like the Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap part # 18050.

• What Is The Easiest Way To Remove/Install The Saris Freedom From The Hitch?
  The Saris Freedom 2 # SA4412B is a great choice if you're looking for a light weight rack as it only weighs about 22 lbs! As far as making it as easy as possible to install and remove, maybe having a power tool to tighten down the anti-rattle bolt. I recommend threading it in by hand to start to make sure you don't cross thread the bolt. I always keep a Ratchet with a 3/4 inch socket # PTW38106-24 in the car with me so it's quicker to remove. It is a good size ratchet, so you will get plenty...
