Expert Reply:

The big difference is that the RockyMounts MonoRail Solo 2 Bike Platform Rack # RKY10007-05 that you referenced can be used as either a single or two bike rack whereas the RockyMounts MonoRail bike rack # RKY10003 does not have the ability to do this. It would always be a two bike rack.

The Kuat Transfer V2 part #KU74FR has a distance of 9 inches from the center of it's hitch pin to the nearest portion of the rack when folded up so as long as you have 9 inches or less from the hitch pin hole to the furthest point out on the rear…

Hey Peter, Although thread lock is not necessary to install the hitch, #e98838, it is always recommended. Its especially recommended on applications where the bolts are exposed to repeated vibrations/road impacts like a trailer hitch. All it is going…

You’re not alone, Diane. There’s a ramp #HLY39RR you can add to the Hollywood Racks Crosstrack bike racks to make it easier to load your ebike in the lifted 4Runner (sweet vehicle by the way). I assume you have a 2" hitch on there so you'd…

Answer 7

Great question, Chloe. The Crosstrack does tilt down, even with bikes loaded, but on taller vans like the Sprinter, door clearance can vary. If you're using the 2-bike version #HLY38RR or #HLY48RR, it will not clear the barn doors on the…

The trailer hitch I recommend for a 2023 Hyundai Tucson is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part #C94WR which I confirmed as a fit with Curt for all models, including the Hybrid. This trailer hitch features a bolt-on installation so there is no…

It absolutely is, Jenna. The Outpace #TH39SA weighs just under 30 lbs, about half what most platform racks do, so it’s easy to carry down from an apartment or lift out of your trunk solo. When folded, it's only 24" long x 30" wide x…

Ron, you’re in luck. The Thule OutPace Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - (1-1/4" and 2" Hitches) #TH39SA was made for setups like yours. The frame clamps are fully adjustable and pivot to grab almost any part of the frame, even on low-slung cruisers…

Answer 11

The big differences between the two versions of the RockyMounts Monorail bike racks you mentioned is that the part #RKY10003 only fits the 1-1/4 inch hitch size and can only be used as a 2 bike rack whereas the part #RKY10007-05 that you also…

Answer 12

The adapter sleeve that I recommend using is the Brophy Hitch Reducer #HT02. This will reduce your 2" hitch receiver to a 1-1/4" receiver that your RockyMounts MonoRail #RKY10003 can mount into. The adapter comes with a hitch pin and clip…
