Anyone have any? I need one that will carry at least two bikes (I suppose all of them would) and still allows access to the trunk. Thanks!
Check out www.draftmaster.com. Kind of expensive but a very solid rack.
I second the Draftmaster recommendation. Got one about 5 years ago and it’s still goin’ strong. Cool thing about 'em is that the bikes ride vertically behind the vehicle (better for aerodynamics/gas mileage and the bikes are protected back there), and the whole rig unlocks and swings down/away from the tailgate so you can get in there without unracking the bikes. They offer a locking bolt that secures the rack to the hitch, but didn’t have locking skewers last time I checked. Good thing Performance has them.
I’m a Sealy man myself, a good Posturpedic is hard to beat. WHAAAA? This isn’t a question about what to give newly-weds? Oh, sorry to interrupt…
I’ve got the Yakima Terrafirma (?) well it’s a two bike rack with a swing-away arm so you can access the back of an SUV, it’s now called the Backswing… I like it alot, it even got rearended and didn’t budge, the y-nut punctured the guys’ bumber though, kinda funny
It’s a quality product, I’d recommend it. Some of them drop down, but you cannot leave the bikes on the rack, or you can if your wife or SO is a weightlifter and can hold them up.
vitus979,
I love the Saris BAT rack that I have, great design. It holds 3 or 4 bikes if you desire. Also keeps them from swinging and bumping into one another. Lastly, it is very easy to secure the bikes on the rack so they are safe from theft while you are in the restaurant eating, etc.
