3 Bike Rack Bicycle Carrier Racks Hitch Mount Double Foldable Rack for Cars Truck SUV Fits 2" Hitch Receiver, Including Anti-Rattle Hitch Tightener

Being retired, I needed something very easy to manage, and flexible enough to allow me to easily get in and out of my SUV rear liftgate. I purchased the three bike rack in order to transport two larger beach cruiser bikes with a space in the middle. It took me 15 minutes to assemble and install on my Jeep. There are several reviews complaining about "the wobble". Here's the solution: the manufacturer has included a FREE special u-bolt and bracket. Looking at some of the photos, people have just installed it incorrectly, so it's not taken care of their problem. I've attached a photo of where it goes, and it is solid as a rock when you tighten it up - NO WOBBLE! You might think that bracket will make it hard to take on and off your vehicle, but if you just throw a $5 wrench (17mm or 11/16") in the back of your vehicle, simply loosening the two nuts slightly allows the bracket to slide off with the bike rack when you remove it from your trailer hitch. In fact, the included bracket, when installed per the photo, is a great theft deterrent. Overall it's great rack. The fold down capability to be able to open your rear gate allows you to keep the rack on 24/7, even with bikes on it. Buy this bike rack, for sure, and if you put some wax on it when you wax your vehicle, it will last a long time!

I purchased this bike shelf a while ago but didn’t get a chance to install it until recently. When I finally did, I realized it unfortunately doesn’t fit my car — entirely my own oversight. The product itself is solidly built and well-designed, with clear and easy-to-follow instructions. When I reached out to customer service, they responded immediately and were incredibly helpful. They worked with me through the process and eventually issued a refund, even though the issue wasn’t their fault. I truly appreciate the outstanding service and professionalism. If this product fits your car, I believe you’ll be very happy with it!

Its done the job so far except after the first trip one if our bikes almost fell off because a strap had snapped. You get what you pay for. None of the expensive racks were available during these times, so I went with what was available. Its bounces around quite a bit too, but good enough for short trips. I wouldn’t use it for any long roadtrips with nice bikes.

Great product and perhaps the price of its competitors

This is a great bike rack. I have the 3 bike rack and works just as described. Easy to install, bikes are secure (i do use a strap or two for multiple bikes as i did with other racks) The hitch secure clamp they include makes this rack very sturdy and adds a bit of security to the rack while parked. Spend $500 or $600 if you want to but no need to. I rarely do a review but I do read them and they influence me so I hope this helps.

I ordered this bike rack extension specifically for a long road trip (1500+ miles) where camping and off-roading would be part of a long week of travel. Let me start off with the positives: 1. The rack works and can accommodate 3 bicycles IF one of them is smaller. We had 2 adult bikes and one kid's bike and I was able to arrange them on the supports to get them all to fit. 2. Strong support over a LONG road trip. The three bikes were held pretty securely, with very little bouncing or movement. However, I added extra bungee straps to tighten the bikes together and prevent the handlebars from turning during the drive. I would recommend using extra straps. The built-in rubber straps do work, but I'll cover them in the Cons. 3. The entire fold-down system does work and allows the racked bikes to be moved far enough down to open a hatch on my Toyota Sienna minivan if there is no ground slop (flat/level ground). If there is any slope or uneven ground, the position of the bikes may have to be adjusted to open the hatch beyond the handlebars, depending on how you attached them. 4. The supplied bracing/anti-jiggle plate part works as advertised if installed and secured tightly, greatly reducing the movement and vibrations. I HIGHLY recommend performing this extra step. Cons: 1. The adjustment clasps for holding the bikes are difficult to secure with an Alen wrench, and even after tightening securely, still moved during the long drive. Several clasps were in completely different rotations upon arrival. 2. The supplied leather straps to bind the bikes to the six clasps worked, but you cannot use them too tightly. During the trip multiple straps stretched, elongating the holes and allowing one of them to come undone. This was a long road trip, so shorter ones may not have the same problem. However, I'd recommend only using the second tight notch and using additional securing from other cords. 3. The lift-down system is awkward and difficult to use when the rack is loaded. The shaft is held in place by metal pins through holes, which have to be pulled out to lower the rack away from the back of the vehicle. Unfortunately, the holes are not perfectly aligned, and any weight put onto the rack pins the metal pin into place. You have to lift up on the rack to remove the pin to lower the shaft from the vehicle, which is difficult to do when it's loaded with 3 bikes. It was awkward to both remove and reinsert the pin because of this, making access to the back o the vehicle undesirable. 4. The binding/anti-giggle plate is finicky and does not stay installed. Because of the low draw of the Sienna minivan, the bracing plate is only about 6 inches off the ground. As a result, any bump, ramp, or uneven ground will cause the bolts of the plate to scrape and the entire locking plate comes loose. We had to re-tighten the plate multiple times and at least once at nearly rest stop due to rough roads and bouncing. This will probably be different for vehicles with higher raised hitches.

Easy to assemble. Came pretty quick. Put it on my ford explorer and it does rattle slightly but not bad. My only grip is that it is bolted on. Hard to take on and off repeatedly. If you are good with keeping it on all the time this may not matter to you. Overall it was worth the money. No more shoving my bike in the back of my explorer.

Very happy with this purchase. I am only a casual / occassional biker so only needed something modest to get out to some trails. This is perfect. Easy install. Feels very sturdy. Rubber strraps are thick which makes them a bit hard to stretch really tightly but that is likely for the best. Since the bottom of the bikes is not lashed to anything, I was a bit worried about the bikes flopping around. The front wheels seemed to fall in place and things did not seem to move around in a problematic way, even driving my car up a really steep hill. I would buy this again.
