Thule Hitching Post Pro Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches
You can't beat this bike rack if you have a receiver hitch for price/quality. Handles 4 bikes easily. The bonus for us on our Ford Edge with a 1.25" receiver, the gate is still able to open with the rack on without having to make it tilt down. The handlebars of the first bike sometimes gets in the way, but it still is nice.
Although the bike rack is everything I had hoped it would be, I will say the instructions leave a lot to be desired. We are only talking a bike rack and one that is nearly assembled but these are my comments: 1) Which way to the rubber straps go, with the groove edge toward the bike or away? 2) How do you attach the "sway bars" and where? 3) Did they tell you the sway bars connect to the thin part of the bracket, no! 4) What's this big bolt for? Eventually you figure it all out(with the exception of the groove edge of the straps) but why not make the instructions a little clearer? Again, it is a great rack for carrying up to four(4) bikes!

Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount
Fits perfectly on our Lexus CT200h. Only on the old LS400, the side straps have to be fastened to the wheel arch edge, since the upper trunklid gap is to narrow for inserting the strap hooks. Mounting of two bikes is (with some routine) quickly done, and they stay safe even for longer and faster routes. For transporting three (mountain) bikes, though, the design doesn't seem big and robust enough. Nevertheless, the price-benefit-fun ratios are way better than reasonable.
I was convinced I was going to have to install a hitch, and purchase a hitch bike rack for my 2011 Ford Edge. I was searching on Google "One last time" Not only did I find one. But you had SEVERAL options! And, you didn't stop there. Even videos on how to. Who does that?! As a mom of two, who's husband works out of state, I really thank you. I received the rack last night. Dropped my 3 and 5 year olds off at day care, came home. Easy installation. Got a ride in! And a full day stuff done. I really thank all of you from the bottom of my heart.

Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
I wish everything I ordered on line worked as well as this XC2 Bike rack it was easy to assemble and preformed as advertised. As you can see by the picture I added a 2" sleeve to my utility trailer so I could store the rack and my bikes. I don't recommend using it this way for travel however. I purchased the rack to haul my bikes to the northeast and from all indications it will work just fine.
This rack was exactly as advertised, and a considerable bargain versus the $350 alternatives. Easy to assemble, great instructions, easy to mount on the car and easy to load. I drove around, hit some bumps, made some turns, etc. and the bikes were as solid as I when I loaded them. It also held my wife's bike securely (it has a low bar), which was a big concern of mine. Can't speak to longevity since I just got it, but it is well constructed and the pieces fit snugly ... it "feels" well made. Attached to a Ford Edge with a 2" hitch.

Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Good product and well constructed. This solved our problem of trying to hang our bikes on a rack and then they would move around while driving. Bikes are easy to load and are securely attached to the rack. Exactly what I was looking for. Assembly was very easy!
We bought the Swagman Doubletrack hitch bike rack a year ago to use with our 2013 Ford Edge. Etrailer shipped it out right away and the assembly was very straight forward. The actual use of the bike rack is very easy with 2 clamps that slide down to lock the bikes in position and 4 bungees which lock the wheels in. The rack keeps the bikes secure (even on bumpy roads) and the upright bar swings down and out of the way so we have access to the back of the Edge without removing the rack from the hitch. Just a very good solid design.

Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms
This is the only rack that would fit on my ford edge. I leave the anchor straps and all year around even though I bike three seasons. The rack is solid and very easy to load bikes onto.
The Yakima Y02633 worked incredibly well for 3 bikes - Worked extremely well with 2016 Lincoln MKX (Lincoln version of Ford Edge) - Very sturdy and handled the turns very well

Malone Hanger Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - Adjustable Arms
The Malone rack adjusts to fit my 2017 Trax really snugly and securely. Once we learned how to configure the bikes for best fit, everything traveled without movement. The only downside is that this system seems designed for narrow road bikes rather than the mountain and hybrid bikes we own. Although the anti-sway cradles are sufficiently wide for mountain tires, the close proximity of the individual bike setups sometimes cause a strap to pull loose during travel, so we keep the bikes cabled to the rack frame. We are able to make it work. For narrower bikes, I would recommend this rack without reservation.
Works great! We keep it set up to one position because it's used on my car only. I'm glad we bought the lock feature because we can just leave the rack on at the trail site. This was a great purchase. I'm impressed that you follow up on your product. I recall your staff was quite helpful in making sure I purchased the correct item for my car and set it up correctly. No recent pictures of the carrier but I do have one of myself as "happy camper" on the Fox River Trail which was doable because of the carrier purchase!!

Swagman Trailhead Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting
etrailer is one of the best online retailers. George J. Was in constant contact with us through the email on our order. etrailer sent emails when the product shipped and even alerted us when it would be delivered. George also emailed us as far as when we received our product that if we had any questions he was there ready to answer any and all questions. Their customer service is second to none. If I have any future purchases it will be through etrailer. Thank you George and etrailer.
Your service was great and the Swagman S63360 is exactly what I needed to carry our two bikes on our Ford Edge.

Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms
I 've just opened the box and do not qualify to give a review. What I see looks very well made, but I have concerns about the upper straps location. I have a spoiler on my 2016 Ford Edge Titanium that will not allow me to have the straps over the top. The hinge points at the top of the spoiler are my only connection point to provide strap support. The hinge point looks adequate, but the strap hook appears to be too wide to make that connection. Any suggestions before I return bike rack?
Service was excellent. Won't be using the rack until it warms up a bit.

Yakima RidgeBack Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting
The rack arrived fully assembled and the additional HandCuff Cable Lock was securely packed in the same carton. The installation of the Cable Lock was very simple (watch the Etrailer video concerning the lock -- made things very clear though the printed instruction were easy enough to follow). Installing the rack on my 2017 Ford Edge was extremely simple (again, watch the Etrailer video). The rack slid easily into the hitch and tightened up very snugly. I have not used the bike rack yet for transport, but it appears very sturdy and the clips holding the bike in place are very secure. Etrailer customer service was exceptional and I was very surprised to see the cable lock arrive with the rack since I was originally told it was on backorder.
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.

When I started the search for a bike rack, I was so disappointed and upset to hear that I would need to install a hitch and spend even more money to buy another bike rack for my 2016 jeep renegade. I ordered this bike rack with a little hope but got a huge surprise! Not only is it super convenient and easy to install but I can fully use my trunk and not spend a ton of money!

Rob: Hey, everybody, it's Rob here at etrailer.com. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Swagman XTC-2 Platform Style Two-Bike Rack on our 2019 Ford Edge.Now, our Swagman is going to be a great value rack and really be a good entry point into getting a platform-style rack. Now, platform-style rack is going to have a tray, wheel hoops, some kind of platform that our bike is going to sit on. And our Swagman here, we're also going to have a frame hook right here in the center that's going to make sure our bikes are nice and secure. Now, again, we're going to be able to carry up to two bikes with this to and from the trail with our Swagman here.Now, the way it's going to hold everything in place those wheel hooks, we're just going to ratchet down, and then on each one of the wheel hoops here, we're going to have a strap. We're going to pull our bike off, so we could take a little bit of a closer look.

Thule Hitching Post Pro Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2019 Ford Edge
Rob: Hey, everybody. It's Rob here at etrailer.com and today we're going to be taking a look at the Thule Hitching Post Pro four bike hanging style rack on our 2019 Ford Edge.Now, our Hitching Post Pro is going to allow us to take up to four bikes to and from the trail. Now, I personally really like hitch mounted bike racks. I personally think it's a lot easier than cramming them in the back of the hatch, and I don't like the idea of having a roof rack on our Edge. I'm a little bit on the shorter side, and I just don't like the idea of having to lift my bike this high, and being this close to the paint. So a hitch mounted carrier is going to make it a lot easier on our backs, because we're not going to be lifting our bikes as high, and again, we don't have to be so close to the car and worry about any kind of scratches or damage.Our Hitching Post Pro is going to hold our bike at three different points.
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."
