Thule Hitching Post Pro Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches
Hitch pin broke before I got it. Looks like a poor design for the locking pin, they might want to consider a different design. I got a 3/8 shear pin from Home Depot to replace and it works great. Bike rack is great!
Mounted on a DrawTite Class III hitch for a 2008 Outback. Assembly was VERY easy, and it seems pretty sturdy overall. I feel a little iffy on the sleeve that converts/fits it to a 2" hitch from a materials perspective - I wasn't expecting it to be plastic/nylon (not 100% sure what it is exactly so correct me if I'm wrong!) but I imagine it'll probably be fine. The small plastic bars that mount the anti-sway cages also seem like they could be subject to wear from the twisting motion to install them, so that's something I'll have to watch out for. Concerns aside, the test drives I did on suburban streets and a few miles of ~75 MPH interstate seemed to go pretty well with two 30-lb bikes on it. I will say that my wife's Salsa Marrakesh has a slightly compact enough geometry that it was a little bit of a challenge getting the top tube over the cradles, so I'd imagine anything smaller than that is going to be difficult to put on there as well, but my Cross Check fit on it just fine.

Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Hanging Style
I purchased a Thule Passage 2 bike rack based on my prior experience with the brand and I was NOT disappointed. The rack was easy to assemble and install and fit my Subaru Outback like a glove. When shopping for this rack, I ultimately selected a lightly used item offered on the product page and I was pleased when the rack arrived. The Thule rack was as good as new and the price point was great. Without question, I would definitely look to that option in the future. I have purchase from Etrailer.com in the past and I continue to be impressed with the level of service, the variety of merchandise and with their communication. I will not hesitate to be a return customer.
Well, I haven't used it yet, and I'm concerned that it has the potential to do damage to my car. I'm only keeping this bicycle rack because it's a Thule and it is listed as an appropriate rack for my car. Photos always show the lower arm of this rack seated on the bumper of the car but the fit for a Subaru Outback is that the lower arm rests at the bottom of the license plate "well." My concern is that with 2 bicycles on this rack, won't it put a dent in the metal????

Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount
Great product, high quality, fits our Outback perfectly. Bike fits the rack great. Painless ordering with etrailer and prompt delivery. Only concern was that the shipper banged up the box pretty hard, but the bike rack was not damaged.
This bike rack works perfectly on my midsize SUV (Subaru Outback). It is easy to install, secure and safe to use, and convenient to store. The instillation takes about 3-5 minutes. I have used it for dozens of rides, several of which were 2+ hours' drive away, and I've never had an issue with safety or security. And I live in New York City where storage is a major issue, and the way it folds up and uses very little space when stored is very convenient. I highly recommend this bike rack.
What our customers are saying:
"Just to let you know I was very satisfied with my orders for a hitch, wiring harness, bike rack and extension. I have a 1995 Dodge Ram van and some of the parts are hard to get elsewhere. I received all my orders proptly and will recommend you to others. The pricing can't be beat. Thank you. Sincerely, Frank"
