Specs:
Dual Folding Arms with Anti-Sway Cradles
The 2-bike rack has dual arms that provide excellent support for your bikes. They slope up to provide ground clearance for steep driveways and bumpy roads.
To fold the arms down, pull up the lever at the top of the mast. This leaves a smaller footprint, so you can keep the rack on your vehicle to park in your garage. And when stored in this configuration, it doesn't take up as much space in your garage.
Anti-sway cradles secure each bike twice along the top tube and once along the seat post or downtube. This multi-point contact helps keep your bikes from rocking back and forth, reducing bike-to-bike contact.
For additional protection to prevent your bikes from banging into each other during transport, wrap the included anti-sway strap through your bikes' frames and tires. It also prevents your wheels and pedals from spinning.
Easy Tilting for Cargo Area Access
The rack tilts down without your bikes loaded. This means you won't have to remove the whole rack to access your cargo area for grocery runs and other errands.
To tilt the rack, rotate the lever at the base of the mast. When you're ready to go, lift the rack up until it snaps into place with an audible click.
The rack includes a threaded hitch pin that helps eliminate rattle in the hitch receiver during transport. As you tighten the hitch pin, an anti-rattle block is deployed. This helps reduce the amount of vibration during transport. To tighten the pin in your hitch, use a 3/4" wrench (sold separately). A clip is also included to keep the pin in place.
Available Security and Adapter Bar
A hitch lock and cable lock (sold separately) are available to help deter theft of your bikes and the rack.
If you have a women's bike, kid's bike, or any other bike without a straight, horizontal top tube, you will need an adapter bar (sold separately) to properly mount your bike. The bar fits between the seat post and handlebar stem post of your bike to create a top tube so your bike hangs level on the rack.

I purchased this bike rack a year ago and I use it A LOT. I had to buy and install a stabilizer because without it, the unit would sway back and forth even without a bike on it (very noisy). This makes removal more cumbersome but since I keep the hitch on year round it doesn't matter to me. The tilting function is fabulous allowing easy use of my RAV4 hatchback. I can even tilt it down with a bike on it. I got the 2 bike hitch. Plenty of room for two bikes to fit without rubbing. Lastly, the hitch has a sizable through-hole on the bottom to thread a good sized cable so I can lock my bike up. Sturdy. I highly recommend.
The unit ‘s simplicity is a real plus. It takes less than 3 minutes to put the rack on the vehicle. It is well built and very durable and has a nice feature that allows you to open the rear hatch for SUV owners without removing the rack.
Easy assembly and install. Took it for a spin day after i received it and it worked well. Heavier than expected. Well built. I'd give it 5 stars if it had straps for 2 bikes. It is a 2 bike rack after all. Pretty cheap move. Now i have to find and order more rubber straps.
Keep a 3/4 socket wrench with you because you may have to tighten the hitch bolt after a while. Rack got a little wobbly after 40 miles and needed another turn on the bolt.
Just returned from our first foray to a bike trail using the Rhino-Rack. Success! The rack was delivered promptly (I think the rack shipped within a couple of hours of my placing the order!). Assembly was very simple. Securing the bikes to the rack is easy. The instructions for securing them were clear and easy to follow. After driving a few miles I felt good that the bikes seemed secure on the rack even when traveling over some bumpy and uneven roads. And I really like the convenience of being able to tilt the rack away from the tailgate even with the bikes on it.So far so good, very happy with our purchase.
I am a maintenance supervisor for the town of Atlanta Beach.my bike has been in my unclosed trailer for over a year.now I can drive straight to the beach and ride my beach bike.

No change good looking and tuff
Very sturdy and secure. Doesn’t rattle. Folds down for access to rear hatch on 2020 Honda CRV
Loving my Rhino 2 Bike Rack! The wide 3 in. frame holders are great as I have Roll Elite Specialized bike and the frame is more flat & wide. 2 in. post fits my 2 in. hitch nicely on my 2017 Lincoln MKC. Very stable, good price and impressive customer communication! Have recommended to friends.
I've been very pleased with the Rhino Rack. Packaging was good. Assembly was simple. Fit tightly in 2" hitch. It's definitely made of thick, heavy duty materials strong enough to easily carry two bikes. The tilting function moves the (unloaded) rack a distance which completely clears the lowered tailgate of my Dodge Ram 2500, allowing access to the truck bed. When loaded with two bikes, the rack rides tightly when driving on bumpy dirt roads. I use a couple of bungee cords to secure the bikes to the rack and/or the truck, in addition to the tie-down rubber straps. Carrier arms fold neatly away. Rubber tie-down straps are thick and adequate length. No complaints. Very pleased.
Can't remember what I paid for this, but it was worth every penny.

The Rhino Rack continues to function perfectly and without flaw. Ive had to remove and reinstall the rack several times this last season and had no difficulties. At 30+ pounds the rack is substantial. Perfectly satisfied. Carry on.
Very happy with my bike rack. A little lubricating once in a while and it like new. Highly recommend purchasing a rack bike frame adapter if you have a MTB.
Rack arrived on time as specified when ordering, able to assemble, bolted to the car and get bikes loaded inside an hour which endorses the videos and instructions which made it look easy. Needed an extender bike bar for the wife’s bike but these are cheap and available anywhere, i.e. [retail corporation]. Seems to be a very solid rack with no rattles on the test run. Fully recommend for ease of install and use.
worked perfectly
Well built and sturdy. Mounts perfect on hitch of 2024 Ram pickup.
Super easy to install. Seem like it will be sturdy but simple to use. Love the tilt feature to access the rear hatch on our Subaru Crosstrek. The hairpin clip for the trailer hitch bolt could probably fit a little better but it certainly isn't going anywhere.
High quality product. Fast delivery. Helpful service when needed.
Very sturdy and easily assembled.
This rack is sturdy and was easy to install. I worried the levers might be hard to push, but it can easily be done with one hand. Loading and unloading 2 adult mountain bikes was a bit tricky at first (i had to try several positions for a snug fit). A great price for what I was looking for!
Perfect bike rack for the car.
Have had the rack for a year now, and I’m not a fan:
PROS:
1. It’s very sturdy.
2. The rack holding the bikes flips up and down easily and snaps into place well.
CONS:
1. The screw to attach this to my hitch feels a little thin, and no matter how tightly I screw it on, the rack inevitably wobbles a little almost immediately.
2. The sturdiness of the hitch comes at a cost — it’s wicked heavy. I’ve had well-built 2- and 4-bike hitches in the past that weren’t nearly so heavy. It’s a challenge to pick up and maneuver into my hitch receiver.

I have some suggestions that will make you more confident in your bike rack. You can use an anti-rattle device like item # e99007 to control the wobble. You can use item # e98942 to install easier as it aligns your hitch and bike rack hole so that next time you install you can just lift and push then secure with a mounting pin.
While Ilike it overall, I'm disappointed that despite securing the rack with the strap, it moves so much that it knocked off the cap with the reflector on it. On the day it happened, I also had a flexible bike lock wrapped around the bikes because I had to run some errands before going biking. I was driving on the highway so it's not like I was on country roads. Also, that part is not sold by Rhino Rack or Curt who makes a nearly identical version of the Rhino Rack. I like the etrailer folks I've dealt with, but I'm disappointed in the Rhino Rack.
I just received the 2-bike Rhino Rack for use with a 2016 Tacoma, It was easy to assemble and all the accessories for assembly were enclosed. I purchased this rack because it looked like it was very solid and well built. I think this is a very good bike rack. Please note that the Tacoma tail gate will open when the rack is angled down.

After one year its still a good rack that recently Ive been using almost every day. Also it tightens down so that there is virtually no side to side swaying movement.
Solid and well designed product. Couldn’t be happier with Etrailer and RhinoRack . Already have a roof rack from Rhino so this is my second item from them. Love the convenience of handles/levers on my bike rack - beats using pins!

Its a year later and my bike rack from RhinoRack is still great! Would highly recommend this product.
the Rhino Bike Rack is easy to load and it is easy to adjust so that you can get into the back of your vehicle. The Rhino Bike Rack, however, seems somewhat "loose" on my vehicle and wiggles back and forth either without hauling a bike or when hauling a bike on the back of the car.

The movement you describe is very common. Its caused by the differences in the manufacturing tolerances between the inside dimension of the hitch receiver and the outside dimension of the hitch mounted accessory, which is a bike rack in this case. The inside dimension of the hitch receiver is a bit larger than 2 inches, while the outside dimension of the bike racks shank is a bit less than that. If they were the same exact size, they wouldnt fit together. An anti rattle device like the # 63232 would deter theft, as well as tightening up that connection.

Product delivered on time. Well packaged to protect from shippers. Nice finish and all parts sealed in bags. Easy instructions for installation. Bike carrier far superior construction than I found with comparable Thule and Yakima. Also price was main consideration for choosing this bike carrier.

Still works as good as when first bought 1 yr ago. Lots of traveling over salted roads snow country and I have not seen any evidence of rust, etc. Would buy this product again but this should last for many years.
Everything about this bike rack is awesome. It was very easy to assemble and use. It’s very simple to mount the bikes and i can effortlessly get into my trunk with and without the bikes on the rack. I feel a lot better about taking our bikes on out of town trips using this bike rack. Thanks!

I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you. The bike rack does come with enough straps for two bikes.
