Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Hanging Style
Okay, this is AMAZING. From START to FINISH ordering from you was a pure JOY! I mean, every step of the way I felt totally taken care of. My rack even arrived days ahead of time which was a fun surprise! Thank you for outstanding service! I will see what else I can have fun ordering from you. :)
second one I've owned, one on a Isuzu Rodeo, the other on a Buick Envision. Fits vehicle well and easily removed for going through car wash, etc. Be aware, newer Trek Verve Lowstep bike is difficult to secure because it doesn't have a horizontal tube that would normally be secured in the hanger gizmos. Doesn't mean it won't work, but you need to be creative in setting the bike frame onto the carrier, and suggest that the Verve frame go on first, even if it is the lighter of the two, and a bike with top tube frame go on last, to block the Verve frame from falling off if the tiedowns fail or the frame slips from the carrier when vehicle passes over a speedbump.

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?
-1 ! Box arrived damaged & so was the bike rack ! Black paint all scratched ! Instructions were awful & used pics to try to assemble (still not sure it’s safely assembled). Plus - nowhere in the description did it say that the pin to hold bike rack onto hitch had to be the one that came with it since it was very skinny & screwed in - now I can’t use the already purchased locking pin & this bike rack will be stolen as soon as I put it on my vehicle ! This is the worse purchase ! I have to put the bike rack in my living room & un-install / install every time I want to use it ! HORRIBLE ! And it does not fold up out of the way for you to access hatchback trunk ! So sorry I bought this !

Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
GREAT PRODUCT well belt!! adjustable excellent, my car hitch is also E-Trailer unit installed by U-Haul...way Cool!! I'm ready to travel&ride THANKS for being OUT THERE...MERL B.
I like the overall design of this rack, but unfortunately after hauling a couple bikes around for a while the point where the crossbar connects has apparently rounded off so the rack swings back and forth. I've used rope to tie the ends of the rack to the car to stop this from getting worse, but it's inconvenient. Note: the hitch connection itself is good and solid, but the point where the crossbar connects to the bar coming from the hitch has gotten loose and there's no way that I can see to tighten it.

Thule Hitching Post Pro Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches
This is a very strong and secure Bike Rack. But the modeled rubber saddles are too big and the kid's smaller frame bikes will not fill over them. I ended up cutting off the lower attaching posts on each of the 8 saddles to get the bike frames over the saddles. Smaller saddles would make it easier to load and unload the bikes.
Great price for the 934XTR and the straps really hold the bikes well. Assembly is not great. Once you align the lower mounting holes between the receiver piece, the LOWER holes for the safety pin DO NOT line up. I truly know the tilt function is useful - but away from home I won’t be able to use it because there’s no way I’ll be able to re-insert the pin to support the daily use. ALSO: Please help - I did NOT receive the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock (THSTL2) ordered at the same time. Online, the 2-item order shows delivered. (Thank you!)

Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount
2010 Chevrolet HHRThe side / bottom straps are seriously lacking. It has those straps you would find on a backpack, making it difficult to securely tighten down because of the angle. I'd usually have to pre-tighten them to a certain length, then forcefully shove the whole rack until it clipped onto my car. They really just need to be ratchet straps. Even then, one of the side straps came off while driving after hitting a small pothole and the whole thing dangled to one side - Luckily I was in a parking lot. I've also never been able to fit 3 regular bikes, only 2. It's really only a capacity of 3 if you have 2-3 slim bikes. The rubber is so wide that it makes it nearly impossible to slide certain bikes on. If you have a step thru bike with one of those crossbar adapters, I wouldn't even bother with trying this. Unfortunately I don't use this anymore since I'd be constantly worrying the whole thing will come off whenever I drive.
Ford EdgeFits perfectly on our Lexus CT200h. Only on the old LS400, the side straps have to be fastened to the wheel arch edge, since the upper trunklid gap is to narrow for inserting the strap hooks. Mounting of two bikes is (with some routine) quickly done, and they stay safe even for longer and faster routes. For transporting three (mountain) bikes, though, the design doesn't seem big and robust enough. Nevertheless, the price-benefit-fun ratios are way better than reasonable.

Kuat Beta Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches - Tilting
The quality of the bike rack was excellent, but I was unable to use it because I couldn't open and close my trunk (Honda Accord 2012) when the bike rack was closed. It may have worked if I had a different trailer hitch, but I didn't want to spend the extra money on a new trailer hitch. Unfortunately, I will need to return the bike rack.
This is a great bike rake. Company stands by its products also.

Hollywood Racks Trail Rider Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
The assembly of the rack was very simple and easy. We used it for the first time today. The loading and securing the bikes was as simple as the assembly. The test will later this summer when we take our bikes on a 3,000-mile road trip. Also, the travel cover we use for our bikes easily went on using the new bike rack.
This has been the perfect bike trailer for my e-bike. We also can strap on beach chairs to free up space in the car for more toys. The fact that the main center post folds down is huge… there’s no way that I could lift my bike up and over it like other trailers require.

Swagman Upright Bike Rack for 1 Bike - Roof Rack Crossbars - Frame Mount
As always with products I buy from e-Trailer, this item is exactly as advertised and works perfectly. Easy assembly, I bought 2 but only installed one until I check the fit with my rooftop carrier.
Planning on bringing bikes while camping. I mounted 2 of the Swagman bike racks to my new Sportrack on my pop-up camper. The bikes fit perfectly. The racks seem sturdy enough. Not heavy duty, but for my needs they should be fine. Assembly was relatively fast and easy.

Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount - Tilting
I installed this rack onto a Curt trailer hitch which is mounted onto a 2017 Honda Fit. I have been using it intermittently for several months, probably about 5 times with one bike and twice with two bikes. I give some pros and cons below and then elaborate. Pros: easy to assemble, easy to mount and dismount bikes, easy to lock and unlock, how to put the rack into different positions is intuitive Cons: inconvenient to put the rack into different positions, inconvenient to mount the rack onto the hitch, rack protrudes about 15 inches from bumper when in flipped up position (seems very vulnerable to someone backing into it in a parking lot, very inelegant looking I say the repositioning is intuitive because there is really only one way you could possibly place the pins for each position. But removing and replacing two pins is much less convenient than turning a knob or a lever, like some racks do. Also many racks fold and flip in such a way as to look very unobtrusive when in non-use mode. This one looks like kind of a monstrosity. That does not really bother me but it might bother some owners. The part that does bother me is how far it protrudes from the car. I back into parking spaces whenever possible to avoid someone bumping into the rack and damaging it (which happened to a friend). My number one suggestion for Curt is related to mounting the rack onto the hitch. Make it easier to tell when the holes are lined up so that the bolt/pin will fit and thread. As it is now, if you insert the rack as far as it can go it is way too far in. Ideally, it would be exactly lined up. Failing that, maybe some kind of click or other feedback to know at least that you are in the neighborhood. It would also be great to have an attaching device that is easier to fasten and unfasten than is the bolt/pin. Tip for mounting the rack onto the hitch: I assumed that it would be awkward to hold, what is it 46 pounds?, while trying to line up the rack probe with the receiver. If you have a garage with exposed collar ties, my solution could work well for you. I looped a cargo strap over a collar tie. Then I hooked both hooks of a bungie onto that loop. The idea is that you hook one of the bike frame holders of the rack onto the bungie, suspending the rack a few inches off the garage floor. This takes most of the weight of the rack so that you can just pull up or down and forward until you line up with the receiver. Tip for mounting bikes. Don't put the little screw into the post that prevents you from completely removing the bike frame holders. Remove both holders. Position the first bike, slide the holder into place, position the second bike, slide the holder into place. I found this makes it much easier, because you avoid parts of the bike hitting the holder as you are trying to get the wheels into place. The trick is that if you are mounting only one bike, don't forget to put the second holder back on - or maybe just stick it inside the car right away.
Have used mine several times in the past 2 years on the back of a ‘21 Honda Pilot and a ‘19 Ram 1500 Classic. I really like that the platform will tilt downward allowing the Pilot rear hatch to open with no interference. The tailgate on the Ram doesnt open fully even with the platform tilted downward, but that is a Ram problem & not a Curt problem. Was well worth the money.

Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches - Wheel Mount
I just installed this on Friday and we used it for a short trip to the bike shop. So far, it is not bad. I had to laugh; Yakima applied their logo upside-down! I read the directions at least 3x to be sure I didn't have them reversed...I did it right. The directions also show a logo on both, upper & lower rack. I guess they wanted to save some $$ ? Assembly was easy with just three steps. The hitch has a lock to lock it to the car, which is great, but the cover won't stay on. It takes 2 hands, one to hold the lock in place and the other to try to put the cover over the lock. It just pops off the second you release pressure. I will try again in warmer weather, then tape it on so hopefully it will mold to the lock and eventually stay put without the tape. I am not convinced of the stability of the bikes, really. Going over bumps they do shake. For safety, we are going to add straps from the luggage rack and through the bikes, just in case. I really like the cable locks to secure the bikes to the rack. With our old rack there really wasn't a way to lock the bikes to the rack, and I always worried when we were traveling and stopped for food.
Best bike rack ever! Solidly built, reliable, sturdy. Plus the customer service of this company is outstanding. They are knowledgeable, keep you informed, respond to emails quickly and satisfactorily. Definitely will continue being my go to company!
