Thule Hitching Post Pro Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches
I bought s stabilizer lock, but I did not realize with this product you cannot use a lock pin since there is place of a bolt instead. I'm thinking about wrapping a chain from the hitch to the bike rack somehow, but that's not an issue right now.
Great customer service and rapid delivery. Product is as described and of great quality. Highly recommend Etrailer.

Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount
Great product, great company to do business with. etrailer is the best. Friendly, helpful and they made sure the bike rack was shipped immediately and it was delivered on time.
The quality of the rack is very sturdy and well built. I needed a rack that has a 12” spacing between wheels do to the baskets on each bike, and this rack delivered that. The issues I have with this rack are: I have a GMC Yukon suv and with the rack mounted I have to lift my two Lecritc 2.0 e-bikes, at 60 pounds each up over 24” to get it mounted. It sure could use ramps, which I know it did not come with. The clamp hold down does not work with fenders on a bike. It does not clamp very well on the cross bar (male and female) type do to the width and the angle of the cross bars. When clamping in front of the front fender makes the bike very unstable, and will require additional strapping and tie downs to secure the bikes. It claims it is for e-bikes, but only if it has no fenders. Nice rack, just not for me.

Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On or Channel Mount - Aluminum
Very easy to use (once you do it a couple of times). I have ebikes and they handled the weight (48lbs each). The biggest issue I have with this racking system is wishing there was a left and right models of it...unless I didn't see one when ordering.
Basically, bolt it to your rack and you're ready to go. Easy to use once you do it a few times. My only complaint is for $200 they could throw in a lock core. Also, this etrailer response is incorrect, it is actually pretty simple to swap the operation of the rack to work on the driver's side (without having your bike face the wrong direction). Two plastic locks hold the main assembly together, unlock, take the hook out and put in the other way. The loop thing at the front is held in by one allen bolt on the bottom; take it out, swap the direction. Finally, the rear tire strap slides out the back; reverse it and slide it on. It takes longer to put the carrier on /off your rack than to swap the direction (not more than 10 minutes).

Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack - Frame Mount - Clamp On or Channel Mount - Aluminum
We now have 4 of these bike racks and love them. etrailer did an awesome job processing our order quickly and when 2 of them arrived with missing end caps, they quickly rectified the situation and sent the replacement parts quickly so we were able to make our trip as scheduled. Great customer service.
Thule never disappoints! I’ve had my Thule Roof Rack for over 10 years and final added the Thule Proride Xt Roof Bike Rack. Best investment for my ‘09 Mini Cooper

Thule DoubleTrack Pro XT Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
I purchased the Thule DoubleTrack Pro XT Bike Rack from etrailer because of their customer service and fast shipping. The Rack was actually on sale on etrailer, Thule, REI and other retailers, but my choice was etrailer and like always etrailer does it correctly. Rack was on time and no parts were damaged. Only thing missing was the plastic straps, as soon as I realized they were missing I called etrailer and spoke with Roger ( great customer service based on the USA, no calls to foreign call centers) on a Sunday, 3 days later I got my straps and my whole bike rack was completed. I have been using it for the past 2 weeks and everything seems right and fully functional. Thanks etrailer !
Disappointed in the quality control from Thule. One of the nuts provided had no threads so had to hunt down a replacement at the hardware store. Also one of the wheel tray ratchet mechanisms doesn't spring back like it's supposed to. For the money Thule wants for its products you'd think the quality would be better.
What our customers are saying:
"Sent out an e-mail to you earlier this week asking which hitch woudld be the best choice for installing on a 2000 Venture van for hauling a bike rack with two bikes. You suggested the one that would be easiest to install..received in a matter of days..installation went great ..very well thought out instructions. Everything went smooothly and the hitch is up nice and snug..doesn't stick out..looks great."
