Swagman Truck Bed Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Fork Mount - 9-mm Skewer
Used this bike rack for the first time this past weekend and it worked perfectly. I drove down a fairly bumpy dirt road and it held true to the truck bed and held the bikes steady. etrailer had a great price and shipped it quickly. I would highly recommend it rather than spending more than twice as much for a similar rack. I didn't expect to find a bike rack like this for this price. Assembly, installation and operation are all very easy.
Work really good. Easy install, reliable. However I would not recommend this product due to part(s) availablity. I needed to replace the lock, keys stolen out of truck, and they were not available to order.

Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
We are happy with our Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack; it has performed above average on highways and dirt roads and is a breeze to attach to our truck, thank you for a great product.
This is a well designed rack. Adding and removing bikes is quick & easy. Just set the bike on & slide the padded hook down onto the bike frame to secure it; no straps required. If only one bike is transported, it does not interfere with opening the trunk on our Tesla Model 3. With 2 bicycles the trunk cannot be opened. For 2 bikes the Swagman model that can tilt might be worth the extra 22 bucks. This rack uses a bolt in the receiver hitch instead of a pin. This locks it securely preventing it from moving in the hitch & rattling. It also requires a wrench to remove it, good for theft prevention but one more thing to keep track of. For storage on the vehicle the top bar folds down. For storage in the garage, the left & right bars fold up & you can hang it using one of the hooks.

Softride Shuttle Pad Tailgate Pad for Full-Size Trucks - Up to 6 Bikes - 61" Wide
Fit great. can wait to tested in my next trip. came little late, but hope will work for us.
Doesn't seem to fit the 2024 Chevrolet High Country tailgate as the straps aren't long enough. Also, the padding doesn't go far enough down the outside of the tailgate. Could be because I have the factory bed protection which covers the top of the tailgate.

Inno Velo Gripper Bike Rack for Truck Beds - Clamp On
I’m a senior and was searching for ways to transport our ebikes without having to lift them. Fortunately I found the Inno Velo Gripper Bike Rack for Truck Beds and installed them on my utility tilt trailer. They work great, were easy to install and no lifting onto a car mounted bike rack needed.

Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Carrier - Fork Mount - Bolt On
These racks were just as advertised. I mounted them on a 2x4 and then clamped that into the front of my bed. They worked great. The thing about these racks is that they are so versatile. They could be used in any number of ways. You just have to give it some thought. And whatever you come up with, you haven't spent a fortune either.
Love this product! I built a great bike carrying system for my F-150 using two of these fork clamps. They are easy to install and extremely well made. No more tangled bikes and lots more room in the bed for other stuff! Best way to go for a nice bike rack system. Thanks, Phil T.

Thule Insta-Gater Pro Truck Bed Bike Rack - 1 Bike
I was not sure this rack was right for me when I ordered it, but the Thule reputation convinced me, and I’m glad I pulled the trigger on it. This fits nicely in the bed of my truck, and secures my bike quite well. I have to drive about 25 miles via mountain roads to get to my paved trail…curvy roads with elevation changes…and I have zero worries about any calamities… For a single bike situation, it’s a great solution that keeps the bike in the bed, not on the back bumper.
Linda and I recently ordered two Aventon Pace 500 NextGen E-bikes from [bike store] in Madison, WI. Not wanting to just toss our expensive new bikes in the back of the p/u when they arrive next month we promptly ordered the Thule Instagator from etrailer. My prior experience with etrailer came as a recommendation from a friend. I was able to do quite a bit of the research on etrailers website, the demonstration video extremely helpful and we placed an order. The racks were in-stock, shipped promptly, etrailer providing a very nice tracking link that included pics of the staff involved in processing the order and a map of the route all the way to delivery. Absolutely 1st rate service. The racks showed up in perfect condition about two days after placing the order, exactly as promised. We are very pleased with etrailer, will most certainly be ordering from them again and recommend this company w/o reservation. Nice job etrailer!

Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
I was sent additional mounting materials that don't correspond with my hitch or my bike rack. See the photo below. Are these materials for my Swagman STC2 Bike Rack Item #S64670?
Very stable and simple to use bike rack that works great with my road bike AND with my 29" Big Rippers. It makes loading and unloading the bikes a snap and they are safe and secure for traveling once loaded and secured. I have already logged over a thousand miles hauling bicycles with this rack and highly recommend it. I am a big fan of Yakima roof racks but, honestly, wish I would have went with this setup for my bikes from the beginning.

Thule GateMate Pro Tailgate Pad for Mid-Size Trucks - Up to 7 Bikes - 53" Wide
I only gave this 3 stars because the straps that fasten the bike to the pad is to long to use on a tube for a normal road bike. The straps are 16 inches long and it wraps around my bikes twice leaving no room to fasten the strap together. I thought this seemed strange so I called etrailer customer service which gave me Thule service number and they seem to understand the issue but had the only solution of using a zip tie. It seems the straps work for a Mountain bike but not for smaller tubed bikes. Just keep this in mind when ordering. I also think you will need to secure the back of the bike if you are only hauling 1 or 2 so the not flop around.

Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Super easy to load 4 bikes and go. Takes me 5 minutes to get all 4 on the rack, compared to 15-20 with the rack I had before. I would change nothing honestly. It's a fantastic rack. It has performed great. I can now quickly load 2 kids bikes and 2 adult bikes on the rack with no special adapters. We can hit trails faster and spend more time riding. There is no real downside. It's also significantly cheaper than competitors and provides a much easier and smooth experience. Is it a great rack for small families who want to ride together. No adapters needed for different sized bikes and super easy to load and unload. I would not recommend this particular model if you don't plan on using more than 2 slots. But for 3 or 4 it rules.
One year in and it is great. I have a 2021 Subaru accent and it is perfect. We carry 4 adult bikes and while it is a tight fit it works great. The rack is VERY solid and does not move when tightened up. Over the past year we have used it 3-4 times with no issues so far. It is easy to use and one person can easily load and unload the bikes. The tilt up feature is nice and when the rack is down and there are no bikes we can open the back hatch without an issue and there is plenty of clearance. We have been very happy with the performance and the price.

Swagman Patrol Truck Bed Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Fork Mount - 9-mm Skewer and 15-mm Thru-Axle
The quality of the rack is fantastic. Sadly the keys do not work on the Locking Quick Release Skewers. I've contacted Swagman about this and am waiting for a response.
Quite pleased with nearly everything regarding this rack. Setup was super easy right out of the box, loved that I didn't need any tools. Bikes feel very secure and I haven't noticed any shifting or movement while driving around. My only complaint is that it's possible for someone to remove (or steal) the locking skewers when there's no bike attached just by unscrewing the endcap. Even if the handle is locked in place, just unscrew the endcap and you can remove the whole locking mechanism. So...works fantastic when there's a bike to be hauled, but makes me uncomfortable when I just park the truck and walk away. Works great, could just be a bit more secure.
# 11
Swagman Chinook Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Works for my fat tire bike. Once it's set up, it's easy to install and remove. I had to cut out some of the plastic cladding on the underside of my bumper on my 2014 Subaru Outback. Good value. I've had no issues.
GI love the Rack, it is easy for me to handle, (as a 89 yearold rider.), two bikes ride and fit very nicely. Like how it folds down,and how it folds to open the tailgate . Great quality for the money, I would highly recommend this rack

Curt Clamp-On Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - 2" Ball Mounts
I bought this due to decent reviews. Shipping was rather quick, within 4 days of ordering. Loading all 3 bikes was very tight with two adult bikes and one child bike, but I made it work. As another person posted, the rack is pretty difficult to push down and secure. It takes a lot of force I don't think my wife could have done it. The first time when I tested installing, when I tried to release the rack, it released hard and hit my knuckles. The second time, the spring loaded pin broke (pictures attached) and, once again, my knuckles got hit. Caution really needs to be taken if you have this product. I am giving two stars for this due to the safety concern and the plastic handle breaking. I will be returning for a refund.
The only thing I do not like is when you use the handle to take it off. It springs and hits your hand ever single time. Other then that it is nice.

Rhino-Rack Hybrid Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On - Aluminum
Great quality bike rack when paired with the Rhino-rack cross beams. When I use the bike rack and cross beams they are attached to my 2016 Subaru STi and I have drove it fairly aggressively with the bikes on the roof. Everything has stayed attached just fine. The only thing I will point out is that you should check the attachment hardware every few uses because it will occasionally vibrate loose, nothing serious but if you never pay attention to this your bikes may fly off your roof! Ez fix though. I rate the rack 10/10 in my experience.
Couldn’t be more satisfied with my decision to go with this bike rack, was on the fence between brands but Rhino Rack makes it beyond easy to use, from installing it on the racks, to daily use is just unbelievably simple! 100% would recommend to anyone looking into bike racks. Also huge selling point for sure is that it covers a very wide range of tire sizes where others are very specific!

Curt Bike Rack for 5 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Tilting
We used this bike rack for at least 2 RV trips. The third trip we took we lost one bike off of the rear most rack. Ended up having to replace this bike rack with one from another store. Would only recommend for local trips only.
The straps are junk and four of them tore within a week of using them. I also almost lost one bike because of the straps. If I could I would return this unit.
# 16
RockyMounts BackStage Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount
This is a really good rack. We do a lot of car camping out of our Subaru Outback and I wanted a bike rack that would swing aside so we can raise the hatchback and easily access the camping gear, cooler, duffel bags, etc that we carry in back (see photo). This rack 100% solves that problem. Further, the bike hold-downs are very secure. I use them on their own for shorter trips. For a longer trip or one that may involve a rough road, I supplement them with a ratchet strap, but this is probably just unnecessary paranoia--the hold-downs are excellent. My one heads-up about this rack is that it is heavy. I am a large, strong man and can attach it myself, but I do not look forward to the chore. This is a beefy rack and the weight is unavoidable. I welcome how sturdily-built the rack is. We typically carry my normal bike and my wife's heavy e-bike on it, and the rack is totally up to the job. Highly recommended. I have zero regrets about the purchase and the investment in this rack that will serve us for many years to come. The design is pretty much perfect--I can't think of one thing I would change.
We love our RockyMounts BackStage Bike Rack. The fact that it can hold our two e-bikes and swings out for rear door access makes it perfect for vanlife. Service and communication from etrailer is outstanading!

Rhino-Rack Hybrid Roof Bike Rack for Fat Bikes - Wheel Mount - Clamp On - Aluminum
Best roof rack I've purchased. I've had it for over a year. It's way better than Thule - more secure and way easier to take on and off - and less expensive. I use it for my road bike and fat back with equal ease. The unique way it attaches to your car rack makes it likely to fit almost any rack. For me, I've used it for a 2016 Sequoia and a 2017 Macan S. BTW, this is one of the few racks I've found that nicely carry a fat back. My tires are 4.5" wide, 26.5 tall...also used it for my 29er on occasion, but fat bikes are way more fun than 29ers. If I were to complain, it is the arm gets a bit stiff sometimes and need to oil it, where my Thule is less inclined to need it...but this complaint does not diminish it from being an excellent/5 start product.
Was very happy with the bike mount. It went together very easy, fit my rails and my bike great. Only complaint is that there was no padding on the rear rail clamp. I didn’t want to rub the paint off my rails so I added a thin piece of rubber and it works perfectly.
# 18
Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount - Gunmetal Gray
Fantastic bike rack. Switch it between a Honda Ridgeline and a Subaru Outback Wilderness and it works perfectly. Accidentally lost the locking pin that secures the rack to the trailer hitch and when I inquired with Kurt about ordering a replacement lock keyed to match the locking cables on the rack and the Kuat rep sent one to me for free. (I removed the rack and left the lock sitting on my car bumper. Later that day I drove off and lost the lock on the highway).
Great bike rack. It is easy to install the hitch on a vehicle and to remove it. The Kuat NV 2.0 provides a smooth, gentle ride for road bikes and mountain bikes. Great purchase. Highly recommend.
# 19
Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount
We have two electric bikes which fit on it perfectly. Very easy to operate and hook up to our Rivian R1S. Highly recommend it!
This bike rack is awesome. Our two e-mountain bikes fit perfectly on the rack. We have taken them on long road trips with no issues. Great bike rack.
# 20
Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Easy to assemble and use. all moving parts work well and my heavy e-bike 65 lbs is held snugly. The only issue is the distance off the ground of the rack on my truck so I still need to muscle it up onto the rack. If it was a few inches lower it would be a big help
Well built, holds bikes securely,
How the Inno Tire Hold HD Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes Fits on a 2022 Ram 1500
Hi Matt with etrailer, and today we're gonna be talking about the inner tire hold HD bike rack on the back of the 2022 Ram 1500.

So let's take a closer look at it. Now we're gonna have an 80 pound weight capacity per bike, and we're gonna have a tilt away feature too, but as you can see, it's not gonna tilt away very far. And that's one of the trade-offs with that really heavy weight capacity.

Hi everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today we're taking a look at the Swagman XTC2 Tilt on our 2022 Ram 1500. The XTC is a platform style bike rack that holds a bike by the frame. You can see that frame hook right here coming down on top of the frame and pushing it down into the wheel hoops. Now because it makes frame contact, we do wanna avoid carbon frame bikes and be cautious of alternative frame bikes, because those alternative frame bikes have pretty aggressive shapes of the frame. These hooks don't always grab on super well.

We got great weight capacity at 70 pounds for your heavy electric bikes but also when carrying multiple bikes, it is staggered so you get really good clearance with your handlebars and your seats and things like that.

So whether you have a step through bike or let's say a women's frame or alternate frame this is gonna work for that. Now we have some features here and this has an almost 90 degree tilt away but I did notice with that tilt away though is that it just doesn't go down far enough for our tailgate.
What our customers are saying:
"A couple months ago, I ordered a hitch & bike rack for my new 2005 Saturn VUE. Everything about the order was fast and easy. When my father bought a 2006 VUE, he wanted the same hitch, but it was not listed on the site. I contacted customer service and quickly received a response informing me that they were waiting for details on the new model. The next day I had another email saying it was available, less than an hour later, my order was placed and I had a "shipped" email. Outstanding service!"
