Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
I put this rack together in a flash and it works great with larger and oddly shaped frames since the wheels fit snuggly in the platform and the arm comes down to meet the bike frame. Will work for both my road bike and mountain bike.
Easy to assemble out of box and easy to use. Holds bike in place very well.

Thule Hitching Post Pro Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches
This is a very nice bike rack. Very sturdy construction and was able to easily put one 26" men's bike and 3 boy's 20" bikes without extensions. Folds up easily when not in use and trunk on my Fusion still opens even with bikes on rack. Highly Recommended!!
Extremely happy with this vine rack! Using for my 2013 Ford Fusion...does not weigh down my vehicle and am able to open the trunk with rack and bike on rack! Phenomenal!

Swagman Trailhead Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting
etrailer.com is a great site! I was able to do all my research for a trailer hitch and bike rack for my vehicle on their website and the prices are very reasonable. I have a 2017 Ford Fusion and wanted a trailer hitch rather than the rear window mounted bike rack. I purchased this hitch and the Swagman Trailhead 3 Bike rack. I was able to install the hitch without jacking up the car (my driveway is a slight uphill the the garage. I backed my car up just so the rear tires were in the garage - that angle of the rear "pointing up" gave me plenty of room). I watch the videos on the etrailer.com website and they explained everything very well. I was able to install the hitch, start to finish, in about an hour. I'm very happy with this hitch and the bike rack. For the price in etrailer.com, you can't go wrong!

Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Hanging Style
Love this bike rack. Unfortunately it was a no fit for my 2013 Ford Fusion. However it did fit my wife's car and because of its simplicity we decided to keep it. Great customer service all the way around. Sorry no picture.
Thule always produces the highest quality products that are at a very reasonable price. Easy to install, tight and secure fittings, and just great. Will provide two bicycle carrying capacity, just enough for a road trip.

Saris Freedom Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Not only the hitch but etrailers customer service has been great. I had a very difficult car (Ford Fusion) for a hitch to be compatible with. etrailer helped me find the perfect hitch for my car. It's increased my life's enjoyment immensely doing so many more bikes rides (mostly rail trails) becasue of the ease ofr transporting our bycycles
i give it three rating it is a nice rack and really light and easy to handle...The only two things I don't like about it are. I cannot put my short wheel base recumbent on it unless I do a lot of rigging... and two the cups for the wheel are plastic and I have had one break. Look up the replacement part and is a reasonably priced but the shipping is ridicules. I have patch it with gorilla tape and is working fairly well.. Am looking for another type so I can just put the recumbent on easily.

Kuat Beta Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Trailer Hitches - Tilting
Light weight and folds easily to fit inside the trunk of an 06-12 Fusion. The fitment with this item and a Draw-Tite hitch required no modifications. However, the offset of the 1/2" receiver pin holes of this bike rack requires the use of a 3/8" hitch pin, one is included. If you want to use a key lock hitch pin, I am using a Reese hitch lock with the included bike rack pin and some metal sleeves that are available from just about any hardware store. I suppose the offset holes of this bike rack is to assist with the anti-rattle feature in conjunction with the receiver tensioner. I prefer compatibility with a Class-1 receiver. A trip to my friend's machine shop should correct this flaw.
I was looking for a light weight bike rack for my 2015 Honda Accord. Your videos stated that the Kuat Beta was light and easy to install. You were right. I opened the box, read the instructions, and had it installed in about 10 minutes. I don't use a rack lock. It is so easy to pop on and off the hitch that I keep the rack in my car trunk.

Rhino-Rack MountainTrail Rooftop Bike Carrier - Fork Mount
Love this bike rack! It fits perfectly with my Rhino Rack Cross Bars. I'm very impressed by the lack of wind noise. With the bike mounted on the rack, you can barely hear the wind noise at 60mph. With the sunroof open you can hear wind noise, but as long as the window is closed, you can only slightly hear anything if the radio is off and you are trying to hear it. Amazing! Can't wait to get more use out of it in the future!
I have used a lot of bike racks and this is the one I keep on my 4Runner. It just works. It is the easiest to take on and off, which is important for me because between me, my wife and kids I have 4 bikes that need to be rearranged often. We also use a roof box, kayak racks and a SUP rack so I am always taking things off and on. The front straps loop over the bar and tightens with an allen key, the back is a couple wing nuts. Since there are 2 straps up front the rack is very stable when a bike is on it. I like that it comes with locks and the skewer is super easy to adjust, clamp and unclamp. If it is cold, dark and damp at 6am and I am tired, late for a ride and still waking up this is the rack I go for because it is easy. There are a couple things to be aware of though... You will need to put a drop of oil in the skewer every 6 months or so to keep it opening and closing smoothly. Otherwise is can stick. Sometimes if the skewer is turned just right there will be a bit of whistle because of a hole in the clamping mechanism. If I turn it to a different angle the whistle stops. And after going through the car wash with the rack on my roof a dozen times or so the black paint began to have a bit of a rainbow sheen. Not sure if it is the bike rack or the soap my car wash uses.

Swagman Titan Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting
One of the few racks that will clear my Jeep's large rear mounted spare tire without using an extender. The other is the Allen which doesn't have the nice features the Swagman Titan has. Tips enough to allow partial opening of Jeep rear door, but enough to open the soft top rear window. The vertical portion of rack tips slightly toward vehicle (at least it does on mine). Would be better if the horizontal "S" shaped piece could be turned around to dip down, moving it further from the spare tire, but there are only holes drilled to mount it as shown. Can't attest to the durability yet, but it doesn't wobble even a tiny bit. Have to compliment everyone I spoke with at etrailer. very nice and extremely helpful.
eTrailer.com had my new Swagman Titan bike rack delivered super fast. I received the right amout of email communication informing me of the status of my order, plus I could track my delivery directly from the eTrailer website. Awesome! As for the hitch, I am so happy with it. I was tired of taking the front wheel off my bike and cramming it into the back of my small Corolla, it never really fit right, was always a struggle, and then I had no room for anything else in my car. Now, I just hang my bike onto the rack and strap it in, takes less than 60 seconds and I have all the extra room in my car and don't have to fold down the back seats. The other feature I really like is that this bike rack has an integrated locking cable, once your bike is on the rack, you attach the locking cable so now your bike is locked onto the rack. Someone can't take your bike off the rack and walk away with it when you aren't looking. I also got the Swagman bike rack locking pin, that attaches the bike rack to the car hitch. I've used the bike rack twice so far and it makes my life so much easier. Solidly built bike rack that is well worth it. Thank you eTrailer, you rock!

Rhino-Rack Hybrid Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On - Aluminum
Great bike carrier! Etrailer always provides me with high quality products with fast deliveries.
I love the racks, instructions were understandable, one of my end caps came in bad, it can wiggle off after locking but I emailed etrailer and they arranged a replacement quick with rhino rack, pretty nice of them, comes with rhino rack decal and just have to decide where to put it, out my bike up and took it for a test drive and it was very nice, I love their package because it comes with locks and way cheaper than the competitors, very satisfied

Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms
Seemingly well-constructed and supported bike rack. It fits my 2018 Toyota Camry SE just fine and I haven't had any issues with sway or even feeling my bike while driving. I've only carried one bike on it and have used it a limited number of times, so I cannot speak on durability and longevity. Although you shouldn't open your trunk while the rack is attached, I have been able to do so with no issue (without the bike attached).
While getting a bike rack for a sports car isn't ideal, I really wanted to transfer my bike with my own car instead of borrowing my friend's pickup truck. After hours of trying to find a bike rack that would be good for my 07 Mustang, I decided to give this one a try and I gotta say, it has been pretty good so far. It fits very well over the factory spoiler. One of my biggest concerns I was worried about when ordering a rack for my Mustang was ruining the paint, but the feet on the legs haven't left one scratch. I have used this to transfer my bike at freeway speeds (up to 80 mph) on car rides that typically last an hour and my bike was perfectly secure throughout each ride. For extra security, I wrapped both bike wheels with a ratchet strap so the wheels and pedals wouldn't shift in transit. So far, I am very pleased with this bike rack for the price and quality. I would highly recommend this if you want a rack that is affordable and durable.

Rhino-Rack Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Tilting
Outstanding! Easy to install on the trailer hitch, less than 2 minutes to put bike on and lock to hitch. Excellent quality, made with quality materials.
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.

SeaSucker Talon Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Fork Mount - Vacuum Cup Mounted
The rack arrived very quickly. Upon opening the box I observed that the covers for the suction pads had come loose during shipping. Probably not an issue. The instructions for assembly and mounting were clear and easy to follow. I planned to secure the cups to the glass roof on my VW. So, I thought it would be best to clean the glass and roof with auto detailing spray. After doing that I attached the carrier and gave it a prett y good shake. I have attached three photographs that may add clarity. I'm very optimistic. This may be the best carrier I've had for my bicycle. Keep Eager.
Your product is still working great. It’s on top of a fiberglass truck top. Speeds up to 75 mph. It’s a heavy hybrid Fugi. Well I do lose some suction in one of the cups but not much. I’m always able to pump it back up. Sorry I can provide a picture at this time.

Swagman Titan Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting
Very good product. Happy to find a bike rack that fits my 2005Rav4 that has a spare tire at the back of the car. Very easy to install. Instructions for use of the key that was with the rack was missing, but I was able to find on etrailer's website. Top of the rack was around one inch above the highest point of the spare tire. Touched a bit of the tire cover when I started loading the bikes, but requires a minor positioning, moving to one side by less than an inch to make sure it doesn't touch the spare tire cover. Minimal sway on movement, but stable all the way from Massachusetts to Maine, and back. Unfortunately still unable to open the car's back door even when tilted, but this should not be a problem with newer cars that have move clearance at the back. Just have to move the car seat forward to have access to the back of the car, but at least I can travel with all bikes (3). Needs a "tube" for kids bikes. Also needs a tool to tighten/ remove the screw into the hitch, but should not be a problem if one can access the back of the car by tilting the rack, and doesn't have to remove the rack all the time. Not a perfect rack for my current car, but best match I could find, given the minimal clearance at the back because of the spare tire. Should be able to use with a future car.
I've had this for about a year now using with 2 adult bikes and a kid bike, no problems at all - carries the weight and is stable. It's heavy when taking on/off the hitch socket, but that's fine - you want something sturdy to hold your bike investments stable on the highway. This does the trick. The cradles can be slid back and forth, or rotated infinitely to suit your needs, which I really appreciate. Overally, good value for the money, and I would recommend.
