Question:
Looking for a 5 bike rack for a 2017 Yukon that can access the rear with bikes loaded and uses the hitch. Any suggestions? Thanks

Expert Reply:
For your 2017 Yukon, my recommendation for your 5 bike rack is the Thule Apex XT 5 Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # TH9026XT. This bike rack includes a hitch lock and a cable lock to secure your bikes. This rack folds up for storage and allows the tilt away feature when bikes are not loaded.
There is not a swing away rack for 5 bikes, so you may want to consider a 4 bike swing away rack like the Yakima FullSwing 4 Bike Rack - 2" Hitches # Y02465 and then add a 5th bike to the roof. With any hanging style bike rack, I recommend the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's, Children's, and Alternative Frame Bikes # 64005.
