• Is a Lock Included with Hollywood Racks Commuter 2 Bike Carrier # HR2500
  The Hollywood Racks Commuter 2 Bike Carrier # HR2500 does include a threaded anti-rattle hitch bolt to hold the rack in place in your hitch and to reduce motion. This bolt requires a wrench or similar tool for installation and removal. It is not a lock, however. A determined thief could still steal the rack if properly equipped and motivated. You can add Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable Lock # HRLHPTC.

• Bike Rack that Would Allow Rear Door Access for 2020 Jeep Wrangler When Loaded
  With the Hollywood Racks Commuter 2 Bike Carrier # HR2500 folded you'd have pretty limited access to the rear door of your 2020 Jeep Wrangler since it swings out to the side. The only type of bike rack we offer that would give you the rear door access you are looking for is swing away bike rack like the Sportrack Ridge Swing part # SR2415 which swings totally out away from the rear of the vehicle to give total access to the rear area with bikes loaded even. I attached a review that...

• Easiest Way to Remove Hollywood Racks Commuter 2 Bike Carrier From Vehicle
  When you remove the rack from the vehicle, you really should remove the entire rack. You could remove the upright portion from the shank that slides into the receiver, but I would not recommend it. Having the remaining shank sticking out behind the vehicle could be dangerous to pedestrians or when backing your vehicle. Using a socket or ratcheting wrench would allow you to very quickly and easily remove the hitch bolt. I've linked you to a demonstration video featuring the # HR2500...

• Tilting Bike Rack that Allows Full Access to the Bed of my 2018 Toyota Tacoma
  I can't confirm the Hollywood Racks Commuter part # HR2500 will allow you to fully open the tailgate how ever the Thule Roadway 2 Bike Rackpart # TH912XTR is confirmed to allow this. Check out the video I have linked for you to check out of it on a 2016 Toyota Tacoma. The titling feature of the Commuter is shorter than other racks and while not 100% I lean towards it not moving quite enough to allow access.

• Could Loc-Tite be Put On Thumb Screw of Hollywood Racks Commuter 2 Bike Carrier
  You can try putting loc-tite on the threads of the thumb screw that hold the shank base to the upright mast of the Hollywood Racks Commuter 2 Bike Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # HR2500 that you have. It won't hurt anything and should hopefully prevent the screw from continuing to back out.

• Will Hollywood Racks Bike Carrier Clear Rear Mounted Spare Tire On 2002 Honda CR-V
  There is a quick measurement you can take to make sure you have the clearance for anything to mount in your trailer hitch on your 2002 Honda CR-V. You will need a tape measure and a straight edge like a yardstick or a dowel. Place the straight edge vertically against the back of the spare tire, letting it extend below the trailer hitch receiver opening. Then measure from the center of the hitch pin to the straight edge. This will give you the distance you need to clear the spare tire....

All of the trailer hitches available for the Spark are Class I rated hitches, so it is important that we look at Class I rated bike carriers like the Hollywood bike carrier that you mentioned.

  For your 2013 Hyundai Genesis, we carry a few different two bike racks that would work well for you. The Hollywood Racks Commuter 2 Bike Carrier, # HR2500, that you referenced will work well on your Genesis. The rack can carry 2 bikes with a total weight capacity of 75 lbs. The rack itself is light weighing only 16 lbs. I like the Kuat Beta Folding 2 Bike Rack, # B202-114. The Beta has an all aluminum construction that makes is one of the lightest 2 bike racks at 12.6 lbs. This rack...

• Length of Hollywood Racks Commuter Hitch-Mounted Bike Rack # HR2500 Receiver Tube
  After speaking to my contact at Hollywood Racks, I have confirmed the length of the receiver tube you referenced for the Hollywood Racks Commuter Hitch-Mounted Bike Rack #HR2500 is 10-1/4 inches from the center of the pinhole to the back of the mast (upright bar) on the rack. I have included a graphic showing the exact measurements and I have included a link to the instructions for the proper installation of this product on your 2012 Nissan Juke.

• Can Anti-Sway Cradles be Added to the Hollywood Racks Commuter Bike Carrier
  The Commuter, # HR2500, is Hollywood Racks bargain carrier and it lacks a lot of the features, such as anti-sway cradles, that other carriers have. The 3-bike version you mentioned is a different series, the Traveler, # HR6500. The diameter of the arms on the Commuter are 1-1/4 inches whereas the carriers that use the anti-sway cradles are 1 inch. The anti-sway cradles will not fit the Commuter. The Commuter comes with a strap that you could use to secure the bikes and limit movement....

• Is the Hollywood Racks Commuter 2 Bike Carrier # HR2500 Compatible with an RV
  If by RV you are referring to a motorhome then yes, you can use the Hollywood Racks Commuter 2 Bike Carrier # HR2500 with your motorhome. To add some locks to this bike rack you need the hitch lock and cable lock set # HRLHPTC. Some people do refer to their trailer as an RV (usually bigger trailers). If this is the case then you will need to use a bike rack that has been tested and approved for the extra movement and stress that is at the rear of a trailer. For a similarly priced...

• Will the Hollywood Racks Commuter Bike Rack Fit a 2009 Subaru Forester with Class I Trailer Hitch
  The Hollywood Racks Commuter, # HR2500, is compatible with a Class I trailer hitch. It should also clear the rear bumper on your 2009 Subaru Forester. On Class I hitches we installed on the same generation Forester as yours we found that from the center of the hitch pin hole back to clear the rear bumper is about 7-1/2 inches. The Commuter measures 10-1/4 inches from the hitch pin hole to the back of the upright bar so it sticks out far enough to clear the bumper. You will want...

• Bike Rack and Trailer Hitch Recommendations for a 2012 Subaru Impreza 5-Door Hatchback
  The Super Shuttle bike rack, # RG8015127, is not compatible with your 2012 Subaru Impreza but we do have some bike racks that are. Please note that if the vehicle has a rear spoiler, you cannot use a trunk mount bike rack. I have included a link to the trunk mount racks that are listed as a fit for the hatchback with no spoiler. The rack that is most like the Super Shuttle is the Thule Passage 3, # TH911XT. If you will be carrying womens, childrens, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend...

• Compatibility of Hollywood Racks Commuter 2 Bike Carrier # HR2500 with Class A Motorhome
  According to my Hollywood Rack representative, the Hollywood Commuter 2 Bike Rack, part # HR2500 will be compatible with your Class A motorhome, as long as the weight of the bikes remains within the 75 lb weight capacity. However, Hollywood racks cannot be used on the rear of a towed trailer of any kind. To carry womens bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # HRBA-PRO is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between...

• Recommended Hitch-Mount Bike Carrier For 2002 Nissan Sentra
  The bike rack I recommend for your 2002 Nissan Sentra is the Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack, part # S63360. I like this rack a bit more than the # HR2500 because it has heavy duty cradles and also features a 3 inch rise in the shank, which may give you a little more ground clearance at the back of your Sentra. Both racks have a tilting feature which allow you access to the rear cargo area of your vehicle, and both racks will fit a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and a 2 inch receiver with...

• Will the Hollywood Racks Commuter 2 Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2002 Ford Explorer Sport
  On the Hollywood Racks Commuter 2, # HR2500, it measures 10-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the mast (upright bar) on the rack. It is unlikely that you would need to use any type of extension for this rack on your 2002 Ford Explorer Sport. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. If you will be carrying womens, childrens, or alternative frame bikes that do not have a top frame tube that goes straight across, I recommend...

• Will the Hollywood Racks Commuter 2 Bike Carrier Fit a 2016 Subaru Outback
  Yes, the Hollywood Racks Commuter 2 Bike Carrier part # HR2500 will work just fine on a 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon with what I assume is a factory trailer hitch. The Hollywood Racks Commuter 2 Bike Carrier also has a tilting feature so you can get into the rear hatch area with the rack still attached. I took a further look at the Hollywood Racks Commuter 2 Bike Carrier and there is no minimum hitch pin hole depth requirement so this won't be an issue either if you were wondering. I however...

• Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for 2017 Hyundai Ioniq
  The Draw-Tite # 24963 Class-1 hitch you prefer will bolt onto a non-electric 2017 Hyundai Ioniq. However all Class-1 hitches are limited to racks for 2 bikes. The Yakima RidgeBack that you selected is a Class-2 rack and will not work with Class-1 hitches. There is not a Class-2 hitch available for your Ioniq. With this in mind you could use the Thule # TH934XTR Class-1-2-3 bike rack that will let you carry 2 bikes on your Ioniq, but also work with 4 bikes when attached to a vehicle with...

• Will Bike Tires Hit Ground When On Hitch Mounted Hanging Bike Rack Installed On 2009 Honda Fit
  For the hitch-mounted bike racks we offer like the Rola TX-102 2-Bike Rack, part # 59400, the bike tires will be higher than the shank of the hitch they are mounted in. I have attached a photo of the 59400 on the back of a vehicle. As you can see in the photo, the bike is sitting higher than the trailer hitch shank and unless you were to drive over a very exaggerated hump, you would not risk having the tires of the bike hit the pavement.

• Bike Rack Options for a 2008 Toyota Highlander for Very Occasional Use
  There are two possible ways that you can carry a bike on your 2008 Toyota Highlander, but I am sorry to say that a trunk mount bike rack will not work. It cannot be safely attached to the vehicle. However, you can still use either a trailer hitch mounted rack or a roof rack. If you want to go with a trailer hitch, I recommend Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 75586. And for a bike rack, you can go with something basic like the Commuter 2 Bike Carrier, # HR2500. This is a good, solid rack for...

  Curt does state that some bumper fascia trimming may be necessary to install their Class I Trailer Hitch, # C11209, on your 1992 Honda Civic Hatchback. There will be a small piece on the underside of the bumper fascia that may need to be notched to clear the vertical plate on this hitch, however, the trimming will not be readily noticeable. It is possible to carry 4 bikes on your Civic, but, the only trailer hitches available for your car are Class I trailer hitches. It is not recommended...

• Hitch Pin Hole on 3 Bike Hitch Mount Rack # 63123 Wont Line Up with Hole on Hidden Hitch Receiver
  I think that I may know what the problem is. If you are attempting to use the 3 Bike Hitch Mount Folding Rack with Rotating Shank, # 63123, in a Class I, 1-1/4 inch hitch, this will not work. This bike rack fits Class II 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch hitch receivers. To keep someone from overloading a Class I hitch, manufacturers place a stopper in the back of Class I hitch receivers so that drawbars and accessory shanks can only slide into the trailer hitch opening up to that point.

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation For 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon
  In my research of your 2011 Acura TXS Sport Wagon, I found the towing weight capacity of your vehicle is 1,000 lbs. Tongue weight is about 10 percent of the towing weight capacity so that would explain why your vehicle has a hitch available with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The hitch we offer for your TSX is the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C11085. It does have a receiver opening of 1-1/4 inches. All non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with...

• Can a Lock be Added to the Threaded Hitch Pin of the Curt 2 Bike Hanging Style Rack
  Curt does not have any locks for the threaded hitch pin that comes with the Curt 2 Bike Rack # C18029 but we have found that the SportRack # SR0901 fits the Curt bike racks. You can add a cable lock like part # e98891 for your bikes but not for the rack itself. If you don't already have a bike rack then you might want to check out the Hollywood Racks Commuter 2 Bike Carrier # HR2500 because it has a 75 lb weight capacity which is a little over the typical 70 lb weight capacity of hanging...
