Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Hanging Style
Excellent and prompt customer service! When I first ordered my product it wasn’t in stock— staff were quick to let me know and offered me comparable products. I ended up waiting for my original order and shipping quick and they stayed in touch with ideas! Thule: The instructions could be a little more detailed. I ended up watching YouTube videos to help me instal. Overall it was easy, and this was the first rack I’ve ever installed and I did it by myself! I was surprised to learn the bike rack is in no way secured inside your vehicle, so.. I store it in my garage when it’s on.
Positive: The product is well thought out and works for a wide range of automotive vehicles. It comes with interesting dampers that i think work. Instructions seem to be translated from another language, but are quite good, accompanying pictures make installation straightforward. A test drive over speed bumps shows that the rack will support the bike for all travel needs. It can be disassembled , collapsed and stored in the trunk. Downside: The rack is made for the classic triangular shaped frame: horizontal cross bar, "male" bike. For bikes without the horizontal bar, mounting is a little less satisfactory. Such a bike can only be mounted on the outside mounts. Cannot use the damper on one side. Picture shows the mounting. as to a design solution, maybe brackets could be replaced with smaller profile, some adjustability? however, as it is, vibration control is good and adjustability with smaller profile would have vibration concerns.

Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount
Ford EdgeFits 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.
We are very pleased with the quality and ease of use for our like-new purchase. From the online shopping experience with etrailer.com through multiple outings already, this bike carrier more than meets our needs. Thank you!

Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms
Perfect for my 2019 RAV-4. I like this product because it allows me to drive and park without having to worry about height clearances in the city and parking was still navigable. Definitely worth the money!
First, etrailers.com is the BEST! Okay, this rack is amazing. If it was made in the U.S.A, I believe it would be closer to $ 800.00+, it's not, thus the incredible price point, imo. Incredible craftmanship, sturdy, versatile, nice to look at, as well. Very detailed instructions included. Fits my 2015 Prius 4 perfectly. Our beach cruises both required adaptor bars. I opted to wait on the bike rack, to ensure a good fit, etc. then purchase the adaptor bars. After much research, I went with Delta adaptors, I wish etrailers.com carried them, but they do not. Nevertheless, this rack is tops, highly recommend. Thank you for reading!

The Saris Bones EX trunk rack series is probably one of my favorite if you do have to get a trunk-mounted bike rack.

Ideally, if you have a hitch, go ahead and get a hitch-mounted bike rack. But sometimes, you don't have a hitch, you can't get a hitch, your next bike rack option is gonna be this trunk-mounted rack.

Speaker 1: Today on our 2012 Chevrolet Equinox, we're going to be test fitting the Yakima HalfBack 2-Bike Trunk Mount Rack, part number Y02636. This can carry up to two bike. We already have one installed, so let's go ahead and take a closer look and show off some of the features. Starting at the ends of the arms here, on both ends we do have the patented Yakima bottle openers, as you would find on most of their bike racks, and then moving back to the cradles here, these are going to be stationary, meaning they can't move back and forth, but they do have this TPE padding here at the base, which is going to act as kind of a shock absorber for the frame as you're traveling, to help protect it. This also has the padding here at the base, as well as the bottom of our ZipStrips here, and that's again for the protection of your frame to keep it from getting any scratches on it once you're installing it or traveling.It's going to hold your bike at three points, so we're going to have two ZipStrips up at the top, and then one off to the side, and that's going to serve as an anti-sway cradle to keep the bike from moving too far back and forth and causing bike-to-bike contact. Now, one thing about these anti-sway cradles is they are adjustable, and if we push them up and out of the way, it makes loading and unloading the bikes much easier.
