Specs:
The Traveler bike rack lets you transport up to four bikes on the back of your vehicle without having to skimp on style or pay big bucks.
This versatile bike carrier slides into your vehicle's 1-1/4" or 2" trailer hitch. Leave on the included adapter sleeve to fit the shank into a 2" receiver, or remove the sleeve to slide the shank into a Class II, 1-1/4" receiver. An anti-wobble hitch pin reduces the movement of the rack in the hitch receiver. And you can tighten the thumbscrew on the back of the upright mast to help keep the mast from wobbling.
Dual Arms
Constructed of rugged steel with a sleek black powder coat finish, the Traveler features dual arms that support your bikes and better accommodate women's, children's and alternative frames. (An adapter bar [HRBA-PRO - sold separately] may still be required.) The arms easily fold down when the rack is not in use - just remove the tethered bail pin.
Anti-Sway Cradles
Rubber anti-sway cradles with straps firmly grip your bike's frame at three points to keep it from swaying front to back. This helps to keep your bikes from hitting each other and your vehicle during transit. The cradles rotate and slide along the arms, so you can easily adjust them based on the type and number of bikes you're transporting. And you can use the integrated safety strap to help keep your bikes tied down.
Tilting Mast
The Traveler's upright mast tilts forward to allow access to your vehicle's cargo area. Once your bikes are unloaded, just remove the linchpin from the base and tilt the rack away from the vehicle.
An anti-rattle hitch lock and cable lock set (HRLHPTC - sold separately) is recommended to deter theft of the rack and your bikes.

Product looks very sturdy and easily assembled; however, have not hauled the bikes with it as of yet (just got it two days ago, the only reason I did not rate excellent). 94078
There are 3 basic types of bike racks used on the rear. Hitch mounted, spare tire mounted and trunk mounts. The first two are out since you do not want to use a hitch and do not have a spare. There are several trunk bike racks that will fit on SUVs. You can write back and with the year, make and model of your SUV I can show you what will fit. Or you can use our Fit Guide, input the information, and the website will display the results for your vehicle.

Patrick B - 2/3/2014The carrier was eady to assemble and attach to my hitch. We have 4 bikes, 2 children, 1 women's and 1 man's. It wasn't until the carrier arrived that I saw the video about needing a bar accessory to put children's and women's bikes on. We did not have time or money to purchase more parts so we managed to fit the bikes on. The rack works great but may have made a different choice if we had the information prior to purchasing. 829594
We are happy with the sturdiness of this rack! Plus, it is a great price. 828763
Love it! 239932
Review from a similar Traveler in Hitch Bike Racks
Built to last. This one is replacing a 3-bike Hollywood rack that is 12 years old. It still works fine but I needed space for more bikes! I had one question during assembly - I called the toll-free number on the instructions and immediately talked to a very helpful person who answered my question. I highly recommend Hollywood racks and highly recommend etrailer.com. 82748
Jake W - 05/31/2014Review from a similar Traveler in Hitch Bike Racks
Bought this product after researching many 4 bike capacity racks on line. I wanted something sturdy but not ultra expensive. I considered buying the Thule trailway ( I think it’s csljed) at dicks because it got pretty good reviews and has a latch to tilt instead of a pin. But ultimately decided on this model. So glad I did. very sturdy. Easy to assemble and operate. Holds 4 bikes or varying sizes/styles easily. The only change I would make would be to somehow attach pin that you pull out to tilt the rack out to the rack somehow. I’m always afraid I’m going to lose it. This rack will stay on my car for the majority of the year (with the exception of winter) so ease of use was important to me 555182

Product was exactly as described. Overall works pretty well although 5 bikes are a bit crowded and the rubber straps used to secure the bikes take some effort to secure 300591
Ron - 10/17/2017Review from a similar Traveler in Hitch Bike Racks
Solid design and materials. A bit of a challenge on more atypical frame shapes, including wider top tubes (e.g. Electra Cruiser, top tube is too wide for the cradle) or those with intersecting frame components that make for narrower frame openings (i.e. difficulty in getting over the cradles). Also note that the cradles do not move and the 5th pair of cradles are positioned close (same as other brands?) to the vehicle, between the vertical tube and the vehicle. 198013

The products are great!! I like it when I install the Bike Rack on my 2015 Toyota Rav4. 828915
Review from a similar Traveler in Hitch Bike Racks
We've only used it once but it is great! It fits all 5 of our bikes without issue and we're happy. We have an adult men's bike, adult women's bike, and three 24" kid/teen bikes. The women and kid bikes have to go through the bars slightly differently, but not a problem at all. We love it! 828448

I didn't like the pin design. Otherwise it's a good product. 820084

Review from a similar Traveler in Hitch Bike Racks
I've had the bike rack for a year now and still think it is great. I use it about once a week during nice weather and have not had any trouble with it at all. All the straps (rubber) are in good shape after continued use - holding the bikes nice and tight. Typically I take just one or maybe two bikes, so I've placed them in different positions to use all the straps/receivers equally. Every position works well for our adult bikes. 636552
Review from a similar Traveler in Hitch Bike Racks
Just used our bike rack for a camping trip after storing it in the garage for the winter. We had not tried to fit 5 bikes on it before, but my son wanted to bring both his BMX trick bike and his mountain bike. All 5 bikes (2 adult, 3 kids) fit without any trouble, nice and secure. Highly recommended. 399904

Review from a similar Traveler in Hitch Bike Racks
The HR6000 works very well, bikes load easily, have rubber tie downs that hold the bikes securely and is very stable on the road. This rack holds 3 bikes, normally I use it for 2 bikes but on occasion i have had 3 bikes, and it is stable and secure. The 3/8 bolt that connects the rack to the hitch has a tapered end that easily finds the threaded end in the hitch and threads through. The rack has a bottom pin that allows the vertical tube to lean back so the trunk or rear door can be opened with the rack on, (a very nice feature ) to help make that connection tight, there is a thumbnail bolt at the bottom to take up the play. That is a problem because that bolt wants to loosen and lets the rack sway, something to be aware of. Overall a nice way to carry bikes at a good price. 275418
Review from a similar Traveler in Hitch Bike Racks
We anticipated taking our grandson bike riding at various locations last summer but, we actually only did it once. After that he didn't want to go riding other than the streets in our development. I was glad we had the carrier and who knows we may use it in the future. It is a quality product that we were well satisfied with. I would recommend it to anyone shopping for a bike carrier. 258697

We just received the bike rack and plan to use it soon. I chose to ordered the rack through etrailer.com because the price was competitive and I also ordered a trailer hitch from them as well. 248834
Review from a similar Traveler in Hitch Bike Racks
Excellent purchase for the value. It is very sturdy but stylish. Well done! Not easy to break down... It comes mostly pre assembled with minimum left to do other than just bolt it to the lower arm and mount it in your car hitch receiver. I highly recommend it. 242197
