Thule Hitching Post Pro - Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack w Anti-Sway - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches
Excellent Very easy to install Quick delivery Well recommend this site to friends and family also get our future trailer items from here.
I wish the quality of this Thule bike rack was a good as the one I previously owned. I had a 3 bike hatch back rack. The cradles and the straps were much sturdier and better quality than this new trailer hitch bike rack. And most of the straps were permanently attached on one side. The metal framing for the trailer hitch is beefy and sturdy and good quality, but the plastic cradles and rubber straps are thinner and the vertical stabilizer that fits up against the vertical tube connected to the seat of your bike is attached to a super flimsy rubber "bar" that seems it could snap just by loading bikes and accidentally getting hung up on one when pushing a bike to the farthest cradles. I have almost lost several straps as they easily pop off when loading and unloading bikes. I am hoping they will soften and stay on the knobs better. The knobs themselves are thin and made of a hard non-durable plastic that seems to strain and bend when taking off a tight strap to unload a bike. I keep wondering if the tip of the knob will break off under the strain and then your strap won't stay on. Am definitely keeping my receipt and warranty info for awhile in case it breaks after a short amount of use. All the metal parts seem good, just the plastic is subpar.

Hollywood Racks SR2 2-Bike Carrier - Spare Tire Mount
This was one of the easiest installs I’ve ever had. Watched a couple of the etrailer videos regarding the installation of this product prior to its arrival. Took about 25 minutes to install. The rack is solid as a rock and very secure from theft. Would highly recommend this product for anyone with a Jeep Wrangler.
I love this bike rack for my 2016 Jeep Wrangler! It is low profile and high quality. I hope that etrailer will have one that can be used on the newer Jeeps that have back up camera’s as this one won’t work on those models, or I will just have to keep my keep forever.

Hollywood Racks Truck Bed Bike Carrier - Fork Mount - Bolt On
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.
Could not be easier to make your own bike rack with these skewers. A little measuring, some scrap wood, and you have a great carrier for a bargain! The only thing keeping it from being a 5 star... the skewers lock tab could be oval like the axle locks. Then they would stay locked without so much tension being put to them.

Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount
Worked great on back of my 2007 Toyota sienna. Holds 3 but I carried only two. Women's bike do need the additional crossbar.

Rhino-Rack XTray Pro Cargo Basket and 2 Bike Carrier - Steel - 58-1/4" x 41" - 165 lbs
The Rhino Rack XTray Pro assembled quickly and easily. It was a perfect fit for my 2020 Subaru Outback Limited XT. Jessica C was a pleasure to work with, she answered all my questions regarding the fit of the rack and she shipped it quickly. It was also a great price for a steel rack. Thank you!!!
The Rhino Rack has been the perfect addition to my Outback. It looks great, and I love the built-in through-axel bike mounts. It's nice not to have to have an additional mount for my bicycles! Is this the perfect cargo basket?
Still one of my favorite and most useful accessories on my vehicle! My bike stays in place, and its very easy to mount.

Curt Premium 5 Bike Rack for 2" Hitches - Tilting
We have a 2007 Toyota Sienna. I haven't installed bikes on the rack yet, but it appears to be of good quality. I like that the arms pivot down, and the rack pivots down so we can get the hatch open. I also like the multiple straps and that the bike holders rotate at different angles for different sized bikes. I also like the reflectors at the end. I don't like that the main arm seems wobbly. There's a plastic sleeve at the bottom to help it fit more tightly, but it still moves, a lot. Maybe after it's fully weighed down with bikes, it will be fine.
After a year, its been working out great as our first bike rack for our 3 boys mountain bikes. Its designed for 5 bikes, but honestly, I dont think 2 more adult bikes would fit on it. Maybe after some reconfiguration. The rack still wobbles at the hitch even when bikes are added. If youre concerned about security, this may not be the rack for you because it doesnt have any built-in locking mechanism. Youll need to use a separate cable lock. All in all, its been a good rack for us.
Needed a 5-bike rack, loved the price of this product. My wife and 3 daughters all have challenging bike frame shapes...it was a struggle the first time figuring out how to get them on. The first 2 bikes that go on are the adult bikes, then the 2 bikerack bars narrow for the last 3 bikes to go on, which is a feature I think is good for kids bikes. I will have to get at least one bike adapter bar to make my wife's bike hang level (due to it's odd frame shape). The triangular mounting pieces on the rack bars are sometimes tricky to get through the corner of a tight, small bike frame, but I was able to get 4 bikes on (haven't tried 5, because my youngest has not learned how to ride yet). The triangular plastic pieces rotate and also slide along the rack bars for even more flexibility of positioning. I like the tilt feature, works great. I like the rubber straps included, they work great. No regrets with this purchase, at this pricepoint it's all and more than I expected as far as quality and ease-of-use.
Still love it! I got an adapter bar for the wife bike and that makes it much easier to load them all. Worth the investment, which is more affordable than most fancy brands.

Thule Spare Me 2 Bike Rack - Spare Tire Mount - Folding Dual Arms
I absolutely love my bike rack. It is sturdy and easy to install and to use. Funny enough story, sorta... I was rear-ended at a slow mph speed, and the car not only hit my bumper but hit my bike rack too. My car and rack suffered minor damage, while his took a beating as that steel bar holding the rack through the spare tire, smashed in his bumper and his hood. I was amazed how sturdy that bike rack was/is. The bike rack itself had some scrapes, with only a slight bend in the still bar, but it still usable!!! Now that is great quality!!!
This bike rack works great. Took my bike on a cross country road trip from Tampa, Florida to Whistler, British Columbia and back with no issues. There was no slipping or excessive shaking with highway speeds up to 80ish mph. Encountered 105 degree heat, rain squalls and snow storms with no issues. No problems with the set up and the fact that the rear spare tire on my 2011 Toyota Rav4 is off center was not an issue as the rack can accommodate for this. It's a well made product from a reputable company. Make sure to read the directions as they advise against opening the rear hatch with the bike on the rack due to weight concerns. Shipping was quick as were replies to questions to customer service. Follow up correspondence from etrailer was also appreciated. Overall great experience, would highly recommend the product as well as etrailer. Thanks!
Thanks for the follow up! The bike rack continues to work great. It survived another cross-country trip this year. Hope you guys had a successful holiday season.

Malone Pilot Roof Mounted Bike Rack - Wheel Mount
Good rack, built well, did what it was intended to. Bought 2 used 1, gave it away, sold vehicle and sold the unopened, unused one as my choice of new vehicle did not coincide with the Malone system. Bought a Thule hitch mount, couldn't be happier.
Item was sold. The new owner loves it.
Not a very stable product. I was traveling with the rack this summer and the bike shifted. I pulled off the road to adjust and the locking system jammed with the key in the lock. The key broke in the lock as I was trying to unjam it. Emailed the manufacture for a warranty replacement, received the run around about COVID Supply Chain issues and have not received a replacement. Spend the extra money and buy a higher quality product.

Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms
Great product so far! Easy to install and adjust. A little tricky to load 2 large handlebar mountain bikes and a third smaller bike, but we just turned them sideways with the front wheels taken off. We had racks on bikes which were probably the impediment. We got them on though! Love how it folds up easy for quick storage. Works great on 2014 Subaru Outback.
Working great!
Fits great on my Lexus NX but I’m worried about the bottom legs. Instructions doesn’t say if the bottom feet should be on the rear bumper or trunklid. I placed it on the top rear bumper but because of the limited space, the feet is not fully set in. I didn’t place it on the trunklid because I didn’t feel like the trunklid was strong enough to withhold the rack and bikes without possibly making a dent. Also, I searched everywhere but my saris came missing one of the bottom hooks. Had to use side hooks instead because I had to get the huggers for the top and side straps.

RockyMounts TomaHawk Roof Bike Rack for Fat Bikes - Wheel Mount - Clamp On - Aluminum
The RockyMounts Tomahawk bike-rack is a high quality aluminum frame, which will last years to come. And it's universal fit makes it easy to mount on any roof rack! My bike has big Bontrager tires which fit pretty well on the carrier. It took 15 minutes to assemble, but the instructions were not very clear. A [online] video was better help! I haven't used it on a trip yet, but so far so good!
It has been a year since owning the TomaHawk Bike Rack & I couldnt be happier! No problems so far & I have taken it on at least 20 trips across ontario. Very good quality & has not put a single scratch on my bike... 5 stars!!
This is my first Rockymount product, and they have won me over. This was well-designed and secures bicycles very well, despite the broad selection of wheel accomodations. In the future, I will not even look at the other two major bike rack makers. I really like how it requires common bicycle tools to disassemble, which makes me think it is more secure than all the other racks I own that have wingnuts everywhere.
No issues. Great product. Great dealer.

RockyMounts HotRod Truck Bed Bike Carrier - Thru-Axle Mount - Bolt On - Black
Very high quality product, I called customer service with a couple of questions before I purchased it and they were very helpful.
This is not the first bolt-on 12mm thru-axle fork mount I've attempted to use, but it IS the only one I've ever actually been able to use properly. I'm always please with RockyMounts quality and this is no different!

Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Works well with the e98853 hitch I bought it with for my 2012 Sienna. We’ve used it with 4 bikes (including an electric) and solid and secure so far. It’s a bit annoying having to move the cotter pin to get access to the van hatch door if the unit happens to be left in the up position, but not so bad. I’d buy this again.

Yakima SpareRide 2 Bike Rack - Spare Tire Mount - Folding Arms
After a couple of weeks of researching which type of bike rack I wanted for my Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK (hitch mount or spare tire), I decided on the spare tire mount. And after a 4hr (roundtrip) mountain biking weekend escape, I'm very happy with my decision. What I like about the rack: well built, very sturdy with bike(s) mounted (no sway or rattle), arms fold down and lock in place when not in use (looks slick), full access to cargo area without needing to remove rack, rack and bike cable locks included, economical, lifetime warranty and of course the dual bottle openers ; ) What I would improve upon or revise in a future model: arms should be longer (even just an inch because bikes rub slightly so I had to add padding), more use of aluminum rather than plastic (thinking long term durability of the plastic locking teeth and arms) Thanks eTrailer
Its been a year and Im very pleased with my decision on purchasing the Yakima Spare Tire Bike Rack. Its held up nicely and I get compliments and inquiries often. Ive recommended it and eTrailer.com to all. Thanks again
This bike carrier is great! It is very well made and is secured to the vehicle with a keyed lock. It comes with a locking cable for the bike as well. I can open the tailgate and access the trailer hitch while the bike is on the carrier. I could not be more pleased!
It is working out fantastic! I am very pleased!

Swagman Fork Down Roof Mounted Bike Carrier - Fork Mount
I am very pleased with this bike rack. For the price and sturdiness it works perfectly for my mountain bike. I will probably buy another one for the other side of my roof rack an my Toyota Rav4.
Goes together quickly, appears that it will fit my needs in terms of being cross-compatible on a variety of vehicles. Fit on a Subaru Outback factory crossbar and transported bike locally with no issues when I got it out to set up and test (not quite warm enough to ride much yet where I live). Instructions are not super, but the assembly is pretty straightforward so that is not a problem. At the price point, if this rack indeed holds up to swapping onto multiple vehicles and lasts me a few years, I'll be thrilled with the purchase.

Malone Runway Spare Tire Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - Adjustable Arms
We received the bike rack very quickly and installed it on our 2011 Rav 4. The rack seems quite sturdy but we couldn't be confident in using it. The straps holding the unit onto the spare tire, when tightened as much as humanly possible, still left the hooks somewhat loose. We simulated a bouncy dirt rocky road and the straps worked their way loose towards the sides of the spare tire thus loosening the whole unit. We felt that the whole thing could easily come off the spare tire taking our new bikes with it. We just felt like it was too risky. The way the Rav 4 spare tire is mounted makes it hard to get the straps all the way straight under the tire and, therefore, leaves them vulnerable to working their way loose and off the tire.
Seems quite sturdy. Retaining straps are a pain to get through the buckles. Recommend setting the rack on a flat surface, I used the truck tailgate, to start the straps through the buckles. Otherwise an easy install , fits tight on the spare tire. I got this to carry our folding wheeled walkers also known as roller-a-raters . Moving them outside will free up a lot of room for the fur baby .
Good do not use it much as we have managed to carry our walkers inside. Still a well buolt rac.

Inno Velo Gripper Bike Rack for Truck Beds - C-Channel Mount
This is a great product that was made to fit my 2011 Toyota Tacoma truck bed liner. In no time I can have my bike held securely in the bed of my truck with total confidence it will not come loose. I highly recommend it.
Great!
I use this product on GM trucks equipped with cargo stabilizer bars for transporting our heavy e-bikes. They are easy to install and versatile. I have taken the bikes throughout the southeast to rail-trails and on the auto train. I added a strap on each bike recently so there is less play.

etrailer Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Tilting
Easy to assemble. Seems to be well built. I have yet to put bikes on it. May I suggest two changes in design. 1. Provide hex wrench with more length. With the location of the hex screws and the torque it requires to tighten, the additional length will make this step much easier. 2. Make hitch bolt/pin non-threaded for the use of universal pin/bolt with lock option to secure rack to vehicle. The price is what sold me, but I don't feel I sacrificed quality at all.(maybe weight, but I have not compared on this spec)
I've had a similar rack in the past, and have always used a few bungees to stabilize the fork and bikes, but overall the bikes mount safely and securely. The hitch bolts securely into the receiver, so no wobble at all there, but the hinge is a little wobbly - I'm going to add a few washers where the upright pivots - it think that'll take out a little play. A solid rack for the price, for sure. Finally, there were a few washers missing from the sealed parts bag, but I was able to find replacements in my shop.

Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms
After searching for a bike rack for my 2015 Hyundai Sonata, I settled on the Yakima Fullback 3. I initially wanted a roof rack so I could carry my bikes and kayaks, but my options with the panoramic sunroof were limited and expensive. Part of the Sonata trunk lid is plastic so I was very hesitant to use a trunk mounted rack. It seemed that most Sonata owners were using a trunk mount rack, so I placed my order on a Sunday evening. etrailer shipped it the next day and I received the rack on Thursday. It took about 10 minutes to unpack, read the instructions and install it. I put both my mtb and road bike on and went for a test ride. The rack was more stable than the hitch mounted rack I had on my old vehicle, and the best part was it didn't scratch my paint. It keeps the bike pedals far away from my bumper, and it was one of only a few racks that would clear my factory spoiler. It folds up and I can stick it in my trunk while I ride. The only reason for the 4 stars is that the rack is fairly heavy. It would be nice if Yakima could find a way to lighten it up while keeping the rigidity and price where it is now. Otherwise, I'm completely satisfied with the rack and the service from etrailer.
2017 Honda civic Sedan Touring trunk lid damaged by this rack. I follow the instruction and I don't think I overloaded the bike rack as I only had one adult mountain bike (GT Agressor) and 18-inch kid bike with Yakima tube top adaptor with it. I am very unsatisfied with this purchase. Will not buy this type of rack again

Hi everyone. It's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we'll be taking a look at the Curt Premium hanging style bike rack right here on our 2022 Toyota Sienna. So the Curt Premium is probably what I consider the most family friendly bike rack, just because of the way or probably friendly hanging style bike rack, that is, because of the way it's designed to help out with those smaller children's bikes or those different shaped frames. So you have two cradles out there and you have cradles that are closer together. You can get this as a four bike or a five bike version. They work pretty much the same.
Yakima HoldUp Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Toyota Sienna
Hi, everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we are looking at the Yakima HoldUp Two Bike Rack here on our 2021 Toyota Sienna. So the Yakima HoldUp is an awesome bike rack if you're looking for something with a lot of weight capacity, especially for your heavy electric bikes. Plus, this is a bike rack that is tried, tested, and true. Very popular, it's been around for some time and it still has held up over time, which says something about it. One of those features that it has is that it can tilt away. And to do so, you're gonna have to pull this red lever and then allow it to tilt down.
Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Toyota Sienna
Hi, everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we are looking at the Kuat Sherpa Two-Bike Rack here on our 2021 Toyota Sienna. Now, the Kuat Sherpa is a great mid-range bike rack. It has the features and beautiful design you would expect from a Kuat bike rack, but that is at a more affordable price. So one of its features is that it can tilt away, and to do so, you would pull this lever right over here, and that allows it to drop down to a tilt. And you'll want to do that if you want to access your hatch. Now, what I noticed here on our Sienna is that as the door does come up, it looks like it comes close, but there's still clearance, and that gives you the opportunity to get into your trunk, maybe grab your bags, your water, your helmets without having to take the bike off.
Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Toyota Sienna

To do so, you pull on this lever and that's going to tilt down and you'll want to do this if you want to access your hatch, as you can see here on our Toyota Sienna.

Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Toyota Sienna
Adam: Hi, everyone. Adam with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Kuat Transfer on our 2019 Toyota Sienna. What we're going to do in this video is just go over some features of the bike rack, see how the bikes interact with the rack, and also how the rack interacts with our vehicle. I'm also going to give you some thumbs up and thumbs down for some of the features that I like and dislike.Starting off, we have the gray one right here. It's a two-bike platform style rack, but we're also going to have a black one available too.
Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Toyota Sienna
Adam: Hi everyone. Adam with etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Tulle Camber pro on our 2019 Toyota Sienna. So what we're going to do in this video is obviously go over some features of this bike rack, show how it interacts with our Sienna and also just compare it to one that I think is somewhat similar. So to start off, this is going to be a hanging style bike rack. We are going to be able to fit four bikes on it, but we also have a two bike version as well.
Rhino Rack Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Toyota Sienna
Adam: Hi everyone. Adam with etrailer dot com. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Rhino-Rack 2 hanging style bike rack on our 2019 Toyota Sienna. So what we're going to do in this video is go over some features of the bike rack, see how it interacts with the vehicle and maybe possibly say my ups and downs about this bike rack. One being an upper is the fact that it just has two. You don't necessarily always are bringing four bikes or three bikes to and from your destination.
Reese Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Toyota Sienna
Adam: Hi everyone. Adam with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Reese three hanging style bike rack on our 2019 Toyota Sienna.So in this video what we're going to do is just go over some basic features and also just put this bike rack in a category so you guys can figure out if it's the right one for you and also just show you how it interacts with the vehicle.So initially, with the vehicle and our Sienna, this does have the tilting feature so we can gain access to that back hatch when our bikes are removed. You just pull this pin here and lean it back. We're not going to have any issues grabbing whatever we need out of the back or if you just want to use your vehicle as if we didn't have this installed. That will not be a problem.
Kuat Roof Basket Review - 2018 Toyota Sienna
Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Toyota Sienna we're going to be test fitting the Kuat Vagabond X Rooftop Cargo Basket, part number VX201. This is also a two bike carrier and it measures 52" long by 41" wide, so there's plenty of space to work with to store your sporting goods equipment, your luggage, your camping gear, whatever you want to take out from the inside of your Siennas to make a little bit more space. It also has an extension that is sold separately, so you have even more space to work with. You can find that on etrailer.com. And it's a very easy process to install it. It simply clamps around your existing factory roof rack, like you see here, but if you have a Sienna that has an after market roof rack, it will work with aero, elliptical, square, and round bars as well.And it also locks into place so it's going to be secure.
RockyMounts Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2018 Toyota Sienna
Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Toyota Sienna, we're going to be test fitting the RockyMounts BackStage 2 Bike Platform Rack for 2" Hitches, part number RKY10002.We already have a bike installed on the rack. Let's take a closer look here. This is a pretty unique bike rack in that it can tilt away and swing out away, if need be, from your vehicle to gain better rear hatch access. With the platform style, it can tilt away with both bikes still attached, and we have this blue handle up at the front to do so. That's really nice because a lot of the other bike racks will have the handle up at the front. It'll make it a little bit difficult to get to when you have two bikes attached to it.So, holding onto the bike rack, we'll pull the latch out and let it tilt down.
Yakima Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2018 Toyota Sienna
Speaker 1: Today on our 2018 Toyota Sienna, we're going to be test fitting the Yakima HoldUp EVO 2 Bike Platform Rack for 2" Hitches, part number Y02479.We already have a bike installed on our rack. Let's go and take a closer look. Like most platform style racks, this can tilt away from the vehicle with both bikes still attached, and they did make a slight improvement over the last HoldUp, where there you actually had to pull out a pin and hold onto the bike rack, and it was a little awkward to lower it down. With this, they have a easy-to-access handle. You pull towards you, let the bike rack come forward, and unfortunately, for the Sienna, you can't open the hatch all the way, because it will come into contact with our handlebar that you see there, although you can gain some access. To put the bike rack back up, we'll simply lift up on the bike rack itself until you hear a click.How the bike is held into place will have two points of contact.
Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2017 Toyota Sienna
Speaker 1: Today, on our 2017 Toyota Sienna, we're doing a test-fit of the Thule T2 Classic Platform-Style 2-Bike Rack, that part number is: TH9044.Now, we already have our bike secured down, but first, we're going to show you one of the key features of this rack. We're going to come to the center here, you'll see our pin. We're going to start by removing that. Then we're going to pull down on our lever here at the center, and we can push down on our bike rack and tilt it away from our vehicle.With our bike rack tilted away, we are going to gain full access, but you'll see that we're pretty close to our handlebars there. Now, we have about nine inches from the center of our handlebars to the outer most edge, so just keep that in mind. Any handlebars that are about that length, I would keep closest to your vehicle.
Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2017 Toyota Sienna
Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Toyota Sienna we're doing a test fit of the Kuat NV 2.0 Platform Style Two Bike Rack. That part number is NV22G. Now, we already have our bike secured down. First going to show you one of the key features of this rack. We're going to come here in between our cradles and we're going to pull down on that lever, which will allow us to tilt our bike rack away from our vehicle.
