Hi Robert, I took a look at the dimensions for the RockyMounts Monorail Solo part #RKY10007 and based off its measurements it'll stick out too far when folded up to fit within the foot of space that you have between your truck and garage door.…
Hey Paula! The Hollywood Racks CrossTrack Bike Rack #HLY68RR weighs 41 lbs. This is designed to fit a 1-1/4" or 2" receiver and has a capacity of 66 lbs. A ramp is also available separately #HLY39RR. What kind of bike do you have?
Hey Connor! Firestone doesn't offer cradles for the Ride-Rite Air Springs #F83VV, and I wouldn't recommend adding aftermarket cradles since Firestone hasn't approved them for this kit. For your 2024 Toyota Tacoma, I recommend the Air Lift…
Hi John, That's a great question! The total tongue weight limit of the Roadmaster Dual Receiver Hitch Adapter part #RM48BQ is 400lbs. So, the collective tongue weight of both the bike rack and the trailer cannot exceed 400lbs. A better option…
Thanks for reaching out Ian. Rather than using a universal reducer sleeve like the Curt Reducer Sleeve - 2" Hitch to 1-1/4" Shank #C49WQ, I'd recommend the Kuat Bike Rack Shank Adapter #D101. This adapter is designed specifically for…
Hey Chris! The Hollywood Racks CrossTrack Bike Rack part #HLY98RR already comes with a hitch lock so no need to get one separately! There is also an integrated cable lock to wrap around your bikes as well. The CrossTrack is expandable so that you can…
Hey Robert! For a hitch I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C94WR. This is a Class 3 hitch with a 2" receiver and a bolt-on installation. The Trailer Mate #TMT56FR you looked at is also made by Curt, and isn't quite as robust. This…
Hi Zachary, I'm afraid there aren't any 2" hitch receivers on the market for the 2021 Toyota Corolla Hatchback. Only 1 1/4" Class I hitches like the Curt Trailer Hitch part #C11567, this is largely due to the tow capacity of the…
Hey Dan, The best bike rack for carrying 2 bikes plus the occasional third is the Thule Outpace #TH59SA There are plenty of great choices for bringing your bikes to the trail, but when it comes to durability, ease of use, and cost effectiveness this…
Hey Steve! Glad to hear Beaufort Trailer took good care of you with the hitch install. The Benton Shifts&Grins Bike Rack #B54FR is a great choice for your Trek hybrid bikes. It is a nice, solid platform rack with a 55 lb per bike capacity and…
Hi John, I totally understand. The Thule T2 Pro XTR part #TH69TX is a fantastic rack, but at 96 pounds it's definitely a workout every time you put it on or take it off the vehicle. If your main goal is to cut as much weight as possible, the…
Welcome back Raymond. I can confirm that the Dellmead Thomas Payne RV Jackknife Sofa item #TP44AR and the Signature Dinette Cushion item #TP29AR are a commercial color match. They're made out of the exact same woven polyester fabric with dark…

Set up for everything from step-through e-bikes to trail rigs with options for 1-1/4" and 2" hitches, including front mounts. Tilt features help with tailgate or hatch access, and checking the hitch-pin-to-rack distance can solve rear spare issues. Pick platforms that accept ramps or tire straps for fenders, and consider anti-rattle threaded bolts to cut bounce on long drives.
Use a threaded anti-rattle bolt to lock the rack down tight; some setups report zero movement/rattle. Avoid lightweight through-bolt/lock hardware that may feel inadequate. If you notice bounce—especially in a 4 bike mode—verify the tilt mechanism is fully engaged and consider extra support. Re-check hardware after long drives.
Choose a rack with a longer distance from the hitch pin hole to the front edge so it clears the spare. Check that it can fold up without contacting the tire. If you need cargo access, pick a rack that tilts so the rear hatch can open when tilted down. Measure your receiver size and clearance before ordering.
Match the rack's per-bike weight rating to your bikes. Some racks are only for 35 lb bikes, while others handle 70 lb or even 80 lb per bike. If you plan to expand, verify if an add-on unit is offered. Separate heavy racks into pieces for easier handling. Using a 2 inch adapter sleeve may be needed on some hitches—confirm fit.
Yes—use a design that secures by the tires with straps so it can hold step-through bikes with fenders. Position the strap under the fender as shown in examples. If using a frame clamp, make sure it can reach low enough for your step-through. A ramp helps with loading heavier step-through e-bikes.
