Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Hanging Style
Pontiac Trans Sport VanThe Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rake for 2 bikes is a good product. I used it to transport my mountain e-bike. I choose this particular unit because it can handle the weight 2 of bikes (non-e-bikes) and the weight of my e-bike is equivalent to weight of 2 bikes. Note: Must readjust the straps after mounting the bike to the rake.
great! works really well, and a lot easier to attach than I anticipated. We drove with bikes across the country from south west all the way to North east. solid rack!

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?
Audi SQ5Loving 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!

Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms
Performed perfectly on a 140 mile round-trip in my 2017 Acura MDX. It took me a few tries to position the anchors inside the top of the hatch, but I got the hang of it and the rack did not shift at all while driving 50-60 mph on the highway.
This product is steady, but heavy and I'm not sure it's good for RAV4 2024. I used it one time with 3 bicycles, and the lower touching part made the trunk door dented because of the pressure.

Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount
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.
This is definitely more of a 2 bike carrier vs 3 bikes. I had to take the front wheels off two bikes to get three bikes on this carrier. Also, it rubbed the paint off on the trunk of my Subaru legacy.

Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
I was sent additional mounting materials that don't correspond with my hitch or my bike rack. See the photo below. Are these materials for my Swagman STC2 Bike Rack Item #S64670?
Very stable and simple to use bike rack that works great with my road bike AND with my 29" Big Rippers. It makes loading and unloading the bikes a snap and they are safe and secure for traveling once loaded and secured. I have already logged over a thousand miles hauling bicycles with this rack and highly recommend it. I am a big fan of Yakima roof racks but, honestly, wish I would have went with this setup for my bikes from the beginning.

RockyMounts BackStage Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount
This is a really good rack. We do a lot of car camping out of our Subaru Outback and I wanted a bike rack that would swing aside so we can raise the hatchback and easily access the camping gear, cooler, duffel bags, etc that we carry in back (see photo). This rack 100% solves that problem. Further, the bike hold-downs are very secure. I use them on their own for shorter trips. For a longer trip or one that may involve a rough road, I supplement them with a ratchet strap, but this is probably just unnecessary paranoia--the hold-downs are excellent. My one heads-up about this rack is that it is heavy. I am a large, strong man and can attach it myself, but I do not look forward to the chore. This is a beefy rack and the weight is unavoidable. I welcome how sturdily-built the rack is. We typically carry my normal bike and my wife's heavy e-bike on it, and the rack is totally up to the job. Highly recommended. I have zero regrets about the purchase and the investment in this rack that will serve us for many years to come. The design is pretty much perfect--I can't think of one thing I would change.
We love our RockyMounts BackStage Bike Rack. The fact that it can hold our two e-bikes and swings out for rear door access makes it perfect for vanlife. Service and communication from etrailer is outstanading!

No buyer’s remorse here! After quite a bit of reading and comparing, I have no regrets about purchasing the Kuat Sherpa 2.0. Excellent product, great quality. I would purchase all over again. It is a solid rack that is esthetically impressive to boot.
Really impressed by the quality. Some minor assembly required but the factory has made assembly very easy. The rack is very sturdy & the hitch tightening assembly works really well.

Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Easy to use and mount on my Outback and feels very solid. The hold-down bars slide easily, Velcro straps simple to engage and I love the fact that it folds up. I can put the garage door down while the rack is attached to the car. It is rather heavy, but manageable. I also love the screw device at the bottom that tightens the tongue in the car hitch.
First, the bicycle. This rack was purchased of r the specific purpose of hauling two Cannondale EQ DLX Remixte bicycle equipped with a basket on the handlebar. You’ll also notice that the bicycles are step-through, thus requiring the use of a crossbar of the Now, to the rack. It arrived on the day specified on the order’s confirmation and was very well packed… double-boxed even. Opening the boxes revealed the sturdy, wellfinished rack parts arranged neatly and isolated from one another with separate boxes and foam material. I immediately began the assembly, my review of which follows. The instructions are clear but I immediately formulated a difference of opinion on step one which instructs that the hitch tube should be inserted into the trailer hitch. The instructions then lead you to build the rack while mounted on the vehicle. This may be acceptable if you’re a teenager willing to squat on the ground or sit on a low stool for 30 to 40 minutes but, given my age, this was definitely not my cup of tea. So, after making sure that the hitch tube fit the trailer hitch properly, I proceeded to complete the assembly on a workbench. One item that I had to change is the position of the ratcheting frame hooks. To accommodate the crossbar on each bike, I placed the short hook facing the car and the long hook facing the rear. All the required tools are provided, the rack is super easy to assemble and requires only a bit of time. The fit on my 2018 Hyudai Santa Fe is perfect. So why did I chose this particular rack? As you can see from the picture above, the bicycles each have a basket on the front handlebar. All the hitch racks that I saw had fixed wheel trays, the trays were too close together, or the rack did not come across as being very sturdy. The wheel holders on this rack are adjustable so that I can stagger the bikes’ positions (one further left and one further right) to avoid the baskets coming into contact with the other. The spacing between the two bikes is also generous. Also important for me were all the locks and the ability to tighten the hitch tube inside the trailer hitch by turning a crank and not have to deal with nuts and bolts to remove a hitch clamp each time I want to install or remove the rack from the car. The folded rack fits nicely on the back of my 2018 Santa Fe The trunk opens with room to spare when the rack is tilted. Note the crossbars on the bike, short hook facing car, long hook facing away. The front and rear wheel holders are staggered to make room for the baskets.

Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Rack is very sturdy and heavy duty. Instructions were terrible. Locking hitch pin would not thread correctly and ended up damaging it. Thankfully the threads on rack were fine and I was able to use the non-locking threaded pin. Would like a replacement locking pin ASAP
For the price, it's a good-quality, sturdy bike rack. I have used it about 5-7 times with no issues. I only used it for one adult and two kids' bikes, but I am sure it can handle four bikes as advertised. It's great that the rack folds upwards when it's not required.

With this Class III receiver that we have on here today it's going to attach using a 3/4 inch anti-rattle bolt and it's going to keep the sway, rattle and wobble to a very minimum. Let's go ahead and start off by getting a few measurements.
