Good video. Nice rack on a sweet 4Runner. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for this 👍 Visual is way better than the directions that came with it!
I'm new to biking and have been searching for a rack and just have to say that everything about transporting a bike seems to be a colossal pain in the ass. And absurdly expensive.
Does a great job.
Nice video just placed an order for this rack
I noticed in your video that the black plastic is separated (on the side just below the yellow sticker). It is visible at
Hi I am wondering if this will have clearance to my spare wheel in the back on my Mercedes g63. Thanks
just wondering, if i use the bike adapter will the security belt secure the bike? cause what i noticed is it will just lock above the frames of the bike meaning the one using the adapter is not? so when they open the adapter they can easily get the bike? if this is correct any tips on how i will secure those bikes with adapter in the future? thanks in advance
If I swung this out all the way, can I drop the tailgate on my 2023 Tacoma? Not sure if the hatch on the vehicle in this video is wider than my tailgate.
What’s the weight limit per bike? And total weight limit for all 4 bikes?
Wish I watched this before installing it as the instructions were very confusing, and I'm pretty sure the tightening arrows were the wrong direction on the step involving installing the long bolt.
Why didn't you pop the rear hatch all the way up?
Straps easily are stolen when you're not at the car, this is the point. Expensive rack though. Sometimes we biking a long range from your car
Can you change the direction it swings
I bought one recently and it only has 2 straps per bike, what happened to the third one? Also, how do you strap 2 bikes to keep the front wheels from turning?
Once in the swing position, it will not disengage from it. ?? even with 2 people, one pressing grey button, other pulling. I hear it doing something but will not move.
The worst part of this rack, which I didn't realize, is that you lose access for daily use of the back of your vehicle (think groceries). It takes a lot of time to tighten and loosen the knob where the pin is. If you leave it loose and just use the pin it rattles terribly. I completely understand that if bikes are on the rack that knob needs to be tight, but 90% of the time I just want to pull the pin, move the rack out of the way and get to the back of my vehicle. Now I shove everything in the backseat which has a different set of problems but is easier than messing with that knob all the time. Frustrating for me so keep this in mind.
how is this different from the Thule 9027 XT?
Has anyone used this on a Jeep Wrangler with a spare tire on the gate that swings open? Does the gate open all the way on a Jeep?
