MaxxHaul 50025 Hitch Mount 2 Bike Rack For Cars, Trucks, SUV's, Minivans - 100 lb. Capacity

I got this for the price and wasn't expecting much. Putting it together is pretty simple, tightening the bolts is key. Ialmost gave up because I was tired and didn't want to mess with it. Took a breather and took the time to tighten each bolt, and it was worth it. After reading some other reviews, I made sure to bungee the wheels and also bungeed the body of the bike to the rack. I have a beach cruiser, so it didn't sit exactly right like a street bike or mountain bike would. I had a lot to move and forgot to take a picture of my bike on the rack, but it stayed put. I drove 70mph for 5.5 hours and it was in the same position when I arrived at my destination. Pretty impressive. Making sure all the nuts and bolts are tightened is really key to make sure it doesn't wobble excessively. And the pin you can take out so you can open your tailgate without removing the rack completely is an awesome feature. It also had straps to hold two bikes. My bike is pretty heavy and it geeks up well. I definitely recommend if you're on the fence.

Easy to assemble and worked great. 2 bikes back and forth across the country. Used a few extra rubber straps to keep the bikes tight together.

Does what it's supposed to do, I thought installing it on my sedan would leave my bikes hanging a little low, but it's actually perfect, no it's besides the plastic cap for the the center bar came broken

Nice and sturdy, a great value for the price. Like others, I have made a few modifications myself. My handlebar was hitting the tailgate of my truck so I cut the plastic tube/spacer between the mounts in half and rearranged them so my bike would be further away from the tailgate. I also replaced the bottom "hinge bolt" with another safety pin so I can leave the bottom part of the rack in my hitch receiver while taking the rest of the rack on and off easily. Great trick if you need to use your rack more often, but also need it out of the way just as often.

Easy to put together, I like the feature of being able to get in your trunk without having to take the bike rack off. It functions as it should.

Had this for a couple weeks now and it gets the job done hauling our 2 mountain bikes back and forth from the trails. It's not a horrible product, especially for occasional use, but I wish I had spent more on a better model. My main gripes are:1) It fits a 2" trailer hitch, but the tongue (the part that connects to your hitch) is only about 1". So how does it connect? The 1" tongue is beefed up with hard plastic on 3 sides and the combined assembly goes into your hitch. Kludgy, huh? You'll notice that the hitch pin is threaded and you'll probably wonder WHY it is threaded, when every other hitch pin in the universe is smooth. The reason appears to be that, when screwed in and tightened, the hitch pin acts like a bolt, pulling the tongue (with its plastic spacer) tight against the hitch. If the pin is not screwed in all the way and tightened, the bikes will wobble. I even noticed, in the rearview mirror, the whole rack appear to bend in a concerning way as I went around a corner. So you've gotta tighten that pin. But doing so is a pain in the neck if you're putting the rack on and taking it off on a regular basis.2) My second gripe is that the rack sits way too close to the car. At least it did to MY car ('23 Kia Sportage). The first time I used it, one of the bike pedals made a scratch on the car and when the handlebars turned sideways they tapped on the rear window. Not good!Here comes a piece of advice... get a 2" hitch extension. It solved both of the problems listed above. I got a 7" long extension for like 10 bucks here on Amazon, so now the bikes are 7" further away from the car, which is enough. What's more, I can now permanently tighten the hitch pin against the extension. Then, when I want to install or remove it, the whole thing, rack and extension together, can be connected to the car's hitch easy peasy.3) My third gripe is less serious. The cups (or whatever they're called) that hold the bikes will rotate in place and invariably are pointed down, when they should be pointed up to receive the bikes. It's just a matter of rotating them around, but it's annoying.This is about the cheapest hitch mounted bike rack you're gonna find. I don't have another to compare it with, so I can't say if other options are worth more money or not, because they may have their own problems. This one is not horrible. Just be prepared to get a 2" hitch extension if you find your bikes hitting the car, and/or if that threaded pin becomes annoying.

This bike rack works fine for short trips across town, but nothing more. I used it successfully a few times, but during its first long road trip it had nothing but issues. I had to constantly pull over and re-secure the bike. Here are some of the things I had to "fix" on the side of the road in the middle of Idaho:1. The rubber u-shaped seats which hold the bike frame began melting and deforming in the sun (it was ~90 F outside). This allowed the bike to rotate during bumps and strike the back of my SUV. Tightening the straps didn't help with this.2. Despite only carrying one adult size bike weighing 30 lbs, the bike rack at some point during the trip started to bend towards the driver side of the car. The bending appears to have happened in the lower area where the rack folds up and down.3. The red reflector caps at the ends of the rack, as it turns out, are the only thing physically holding the bike mounts on. If these plastic caps come off, your bike, along with the rubber mounts, will simply slide right off the back. It's hard to explain this concisely, but surmise it to say that it is a fragile design. One of these caps came off during the trip and the bike started flailing, nearly falling off. I had to duct tape the bike frame to the rack for the rest of the trip.In summary, this bike rack is poorly designed and doesn't hold up well. Don't buy this.

Very good
