We have the Thule T2 Pro XT hitch rack. Super solid, and the latch for swinging up or down is on the handle you use for lifting the rack. The rear wheel goes into a basket & is retained by a strap. The front wheel goes into a tray & is retained by an arm that clamps down on the front tire

+++1 for the 1 UP. I've had one for about a year and it's the best rack I've ever had. Rock solid with zero sway, and it only touches the wheels and can be configured for 1 - 4 bikes, with an add-on carrier for each one. That way the pieces can be added separately and individually don't weigh

Paul, that's hair-raising! Wow. When I first used our rack, fully-laden, I drove about a half-mile then pulled over and checked everything, recinched the straps now that we'd vibrated enough to settle a bit. Then I drove from Brooklyn through Staten Island to the first rest stop in NJ. Then I

I would avoid racks that use clamping system like the Hollywood rack. Unless you like having the cinching bolt coming undone and having your bike tumbling down the freeway (nope, that wasn't a good day). Kuat or 1Up won't touch the paint. On Friday, November 1, 2019 at 8:50:23 AM UTC-6, Joe
