Reviews

Easy set up, not too heavy and works well.

We got the 5 bike rack for our 2 adult bikes and 1 larger kids bike. Fits well for 3 bikes but will be snug for 4-5 bikes for this 5 bike rack. Learned from last 4 bike Thule we had years ago for 3 bikes as that was snug. Easy to use and would recommend.

Awesome

This hitch rack gives us the ability to carry all of the bikes we might need all at the same time.

Really good product

We bought this for our 2016 Volvo XC90. It's pretty much ready to go out of the box with minimal assembly. Very story and well built. The handles to make it tilt are super easy to use and you get tons of space to load your trunk.
