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.

Curt Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting
Works great so far. Easy install.
The Curt Clamp-On rack was the only option that worked for me, the Aliner (A-frame pop-up) camper, and SUV. It fits on the hitch and not the trailer frame. It makes a very secure attachment and the additional tie down straps stop any movement. You only have to lift the bike up to waist height to get it on the rack! Other racks required lifting the bike up to shoulder height and then extending out. Not a good position for those of us that lack upper body strength. After using it for many camping trips last summer, I have to say that the website video was dead on. I have a very short ball mount on the SUV, not a long one like on the truck. The bike closest to the back hatch needs to have the handlebar padded or strapped so it won't hit the window. I have carried 2 bikes but that was a tight fit because I don't have much room between the back hatch and the propane tanks on the trailer. This part isn't about the rack itself but is something to be aware of. With the rack and bike on, they interfere with the backup camera. I mostly hitch up by myself, so I have to use the camera to see the hitch ball and the trailer. It makes it a little awkward, but the rack and bike are the last things to go on, after backing up to hitch the trailer. I'm glad the etrailer techs found a solution to my problem!
What our customers are saying:
"I ordered a trailer hitch and a bike rack carrier the order was shipped with in three days. To put the hitch on only took about 30 mins. only had to drill two 1/2 holes. fit like a glove."
