Thule Hitching Post Pro Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches
Product arrived in good condition. Installation was very simple. Took it out on a drive after installation to see how it would hold up in driving condition, and it didn't rattle at all. Excellent product.
Super easy to install and works as advertised, no issues.

Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
The assembly of the rack was straight forward and quick. I have used it once and had no problems. Loading the bikes was very easy compared to a roof rack. Overall I like the rack. After the installation, I bought a bolt lock to replace the standard hitch bolt. The bolt lock made the rack sway slightly during travel, but not a real concern. Being able to fold the wheel rails up when not using the rack to carry bikes is a nice feature. I am pleased with this purchase.
I am impressed with this company's professionalism. They kept me informed from start to finish with emails and tracking info. The product is just as advertised and expected.

Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Received the bike rack shipment today and did a partial assembly, following the easy to understand instructions. Plan on completing the installation on the vehicle tomorrow. We were concerned on possible missing parts as the package was badly damaged - see pics - but all were there and we are very satisfied. Suzanne L.
This rack is mounted on our 2-inch hitch and feels very solid. Two regular adult bikes were easy to mount. The wheel loops tighten so you don't have to continually readjust if you put the bikes on in the same order. It does stick out from the vehicle and because it is low I am worried that someone will hit it in a parking lot. For now, I decided to take it off while not in use. We made our first trip today and went on the freeway no problem. Overall I am very satisfied.

Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Bought the Draw-Tite trailer hits together with the Swagman XTC4 4-bike rack. Bought based on reviews on e-trailer and other sites that this is a sturdy and good-working combination for carrying 4 bikes. * Delivery: Fast (<5 days) * Packaging: Package had holes, which is not unusual as the box with the hitch has a lot of empty spaces. Others had same issue, but nothing to worry about. The hitch cannot really break easily and the hardware is safely stored in the 2inch receiver. * Installation: Very nice video instructions on etrailer. Installation really can use two people, but it's fairly easy with two people. Had some problems with one of the nine screws to bite although I did a try run before mounting the hitch. Worked after some minutes of wiggling the hitch so that the screw got the correct angle to bite. * Usage: Installed the day of delivery and used it the next day. It's the first time I used a trailer hitch and for sure the first time I used to carry 4 bikes. Stopped looking in the rear-view mirror after 1 minutes seeing that it's barely moving at all. So with a limited use so far I can confirm other's reviews of this combination and I think it works great. Recommended.
What we like about it: Easy on-off for 3 bikes; adjustable; folds up when not needed; transports very securely. Lock built in to bike rack offers mental security as well. What we don't like: hard to get 4th bike on--have to be strategic about placement of bikes/directions they are pointing, to fit 2 adult & 2 kid bikes, one with stunt spikes. Also, when it's up you can't access cargo space at all, and when it's down, it's hard to access the cargo space b/c the bike rack gets in the way of opening/reaching into it. And when flipped up (not using), it still sticks out quite a bit, making it hard to park in tight spaces. it's not very difficult to remove it, but it's heavy. Finally, one of our adjustable "hooks" (the part that hooks over the middle of the bike to secure it) doesn't adjust easily--need 2 hands' strength to squeeze it hard enough to get it to move. It's been this way since we first got it. For these reasons, can't give it 5 stars--but we give it 4 b/c we think as we use it more we'll get the strategy down, and the convenience and security and clever design make it worth 4/5 stars. We've definitely done more family biking since we bought it and that was the goal.

Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount
Easy to install and remove. A great product if you don't want to mess with a traditional rack that uses a trailer hitch. We have no hitch so works perfect on our Toyota Highlander.
Easy to follow instructions - easy assembly. Fits great on my Highlander and has fittings for many, many other cars. Holds bikes well - ample distance between car and bike so no scratching! No need for a hitch style carrier - this works great.

Yakima RidgeBack Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting
This was installed in a 2" hitch but can accommodate the smaller receiver as well. This rack holds on to my large frame mountain bike just fine with virtually no sway during the short trips to my local trail. All features work as advertised, but please note that while the kit comes with a long strap to hold multiple bikes together (to prevent the frame bouncing against each other I assume), the kit does not include a strap to hold the front wheel/fork steady. I improvised one with a short bungee cord. Shipping from etrailer was fast and communicated well via notifiactions.
Check out my other review on the hidden hitch for a 2015 BMW 4 Series for the majority of the review, but this thing is great. Easy setup and install, does all the things it's supposed to do. Mounting and removing bikes is a snap with the included clips (big difference from some of the cheaper variants with nylon ratchet straps). Fits very snugly in my 2" receiver, and pretty solid on the highway and over bumpy roads.

Curt Bike Rack for 5 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Tilting
It was obvious that we received a product that was returned by someone else when the box was overly taped shut, a support collar was broken, and most of the pieces were out of their ripped plastic bags. However, it was a great price to hold 5, 26" and/or 27" Trek bikes. I used a piece of the broken collar and went ahead and assembled the rack. Due to the weight of the 5 bikes it did not wobble that much when driving, as one of the bike tires was up against my car. I can only imagine that if we received an untampered product that this review would have been 5 stars. The picture is a little hard to see, but there are 5 Trek bikes on the rack on my 2020 Toyota Seinna.
We received a damaged box, damaged items, no instructions, the nuts and bolts are completely stripped and not inside a bag. This was obviously used, returned, not checked for quality and sent out. We are extremely upset.

Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms
Bought this for my 2019 Toyota Highlander. Installation was easy, especially after watching the etrailer video. I've had the rack for about a year and it's held up and worked well the dozen or so times I've used it. I have had zero issues even on very long road trips (NYC to Outer Banks, NC). Folds up nice and tight when not in use, which is great for storage. Would recommend.
Great exterior bike carrier. Easy to use and positioning on the car is good.

Swagman Chinook Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
The ordering process was easy, lots of pictures. The package was delivered on time and the box was without any damage. The bike rack was really easy to put together. All metal construction, except for the contact point for the bike. Feels solid.
This performed great with the Curt class 3 hitch I also bought from you! Very stable, easy to move out of the way, load, unload, and isn't wobbly on the road at all. Easy to put together, too. Very glad I bought it.

Swagman Upright Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Roof Rack Crossbars - Frame Mount
Work as advertised. Easy to fit to a caf roof rack. I work buy again.
Great "universal" rack for a lot less $ than other brands. With just minimal knowledge of nuts, bolts and spacers this rack can easily be attached to a slightly curved roof rack, like my toyta highlander.

Saris Freedom Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount - Tilting
Purchasing the product, pricing and speed of delivery were all awesome. Have used etrailer before and they have always been great. Assembling the bike rack was not too difficult. Their instruction manual could use a little work though. It took some decifering to figure out. But I LOVE the bike rack. Much easier to use than any previous bike rack I have owned. And it can stay on the vehicle for extended periods, without being bothersome. I LOVE IT!
Fits my Highlander like a glove. Fairly easy installation thanks to the etrailer videos. Local garage was impressed that I did it myself.

Rhino Rack MountainTrail Roof Bike Racks Review - 2010 Toyota Highlander
Today on our 2010 Toyota Highlander we're doing a test fit of the Rhino Rack Mountain-trail Roof Top Bike Rack. That part number is RBC035. We already have our bike on the rack, we are first going to show you how we strap that down and then we will go over how it is connected to our crossbars. Back here in the back we have a regular ratcheting strap that you see on most of your bike racks. To remove that we just push down and lift up and we want that between the spokes when we load up our bike. Now up at the front we have a skewer holding in our fork mounts. To release that we are just going to pull on the black handle. We've got a locking option there and to loosen and tighten it we just turn either side towards the front of the vehicle to loosen and towards the back to tighten and then it just secures in place.
What our customers are saying:
"I purchased a hitch, wiring harness, bike carrier and bike adapter for a newly redesigned 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. Everything arrived in a matter of days and either fit or worked perfectly. Great prices, quality and service support. Rest assured, I'll be recommending you to anyone who asks. Thanks again."
