Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Hanging Style
Went online to find a bike rack for my Altima - had plenty of choices but the information provided on the etrailer.com site was clear and assured me the product would fit my car. Couldn't beat the price, free shipping and it arrived in 2 days.
Goes on and off in minutes. Bike is very stable when in this carrier. No issues after one year. Also got the anti theft "puck" for this so I can leave the carrier on the car while riding and it is still there when I get back. Carrier fits in my trunk when not in use.

Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount
I like the versatility of this product. It works on our 2013 Town & Country and 2017 Nissan Altima. Just have 1 issue, the rubber tie straps are too difficult. I even have an occasional tough time depending onvthe angle. It is important to make sure to put the heaviest bike closest to the vehicle! We left for vacation and didn't want to take an expensive bike, so we purchased a bike on our way. Not wanting to waste any time, i put it on the outside. within 2 hrs I noticed something didn't seem right. The bracket looked like it broke and the new bike was just inches off the expressway!!!! I was not in a good part of town so i used bungees to secure it. Did it correctly on the way home and it did fine. The hole is a little wore out that it clicks in to place! Over all very good deal!
Way too light duty for what is advertised. It seemed to be made out of 1/2 inch electrical conduit. I would never put three bikes on that rack. I only had two bikes on the rack. While on trip through Idaho the wind was so strong that one of the bikes partially blew off the rack. We traveled 1,800 miles and upon arriving home I actually sawed the bike rack up and threw it away so that no one else would use it and cause an accident. I've already found a different brand that is HEAVY DUTY and I will stick with that brand.

Yakima FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier - Roof Mount
It's a fantastic roof rack, which I use above my truck bed. I recently bought a second one so I can take my road bike and gravel bike with me on my camping trips.
Mounted nicely on my Rhino racks and holds our nikes well. Easy to load and unload.

Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches - Wheel Mount - Gray
I haven’t put it together or on my vehicle yet. But all reviews were favorable so that’s one of the reasons for picking this rack. I also got feedback from riders at my local trails and they were all positive as well. I will be installing a hitch and the rack within the next week or two. Once installed I won’t need to use the old hanging style rack or shove our bikes in the back of the wife’s SUV anymore. Once installed I’ll try and remember to post pictures as well as a better review.
After doing extensive research before buying my first ever bike rack, I chose the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 platform rack. I considered trunk mounted, hanging and platform racks before settling on a platform rack. I like the stability, the ease of loading and unloading and very importantly, the absence of contact with the frame of my bike. My bike has a beautiful paint job that I want to preserve. I looked at lots of racks online and at a bike shop and opted for the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 because of the excellent engineering, including the design of the packaging that becomes a work bench for assembling the rack, the relatively light weight (32 pounds), the inclusion of a hitch lock and a bike lock, the stability of the platform, even with a 1.25" connection and a class I hitch, and the ease of operation. Additionally, the overall appearance of the rack suggests high quality. Time will tell how well it ages but I'm pretty confident that I'll be pleased with it. I was very fortunate to find a used, like new Kuat via Etrailer at a meaningful discount that still qualified for the manufacturer's warranty! Thank you Etrailer! A tip to pass along that was shared with me, U-Haul is an excellent source for buying and installing hitches to accommodate bike racks - very attractive pricing, high quality installation and a super unlimited lifetime warranty. Can't wait for Spring and the chance to transport my bike to inviting riding venues!! PS The hitch and bike rack work very well with my 2011 Honda Accord Coupe, EXL V6 model that remains in excellent condition.

Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms
First rack I've ever purchased I misplaced the end bar used to lock the bikes onto the rack. Can I buy another one?
Loving my bike rack it looks really stylish on my SQ5. It’s super easy to install, I don’t even need any help, so win win. It’s also sturdy, I have travelled multiple times from ATL to FL without any issues. The only problem is the bottom bar has a hard plastic, which rubs at the bottom of my hatch below the plate. I fixed this by cutting a pool noodle to protect my car by adding it to the bottom over the hard plastic. And added rubber stoppers under the top straps to stop shafting on the trunk spoiler. All and all good buy!

What our customers are saying:
"Sent out an e-mail to you earlier this week asking which hitch woudld be the best choice for installing on a 2000 Venture van for hauling a bike rack with two bikes. You suggested the one that would be easiest to install..received in a matter of days..installation went great ..very well thought out instructions. Everything went smooothly and the hitch is up nice and snug..doesn't stick out..looks great."
