MaxxHaul 50025 Hitch Mount 2-Bike Rack for Cars, Trucks, SUVs, Minivans – Fits 1-1/4" & 2" Hitch Receivers, 100 lb Capacity, Anti-Rattle, Secure Cradles, Heavy-Duty Steel Construction - Color May Vary

It's the cheapest bike rake I've seen anywhere and it holds two bikes. There is just a smidgen of play when connected to the tow hitch but it's minimal and is perfectly fine. It's not going anywhere. Easy installation (though the wrench they include is useless as it is larger than the included bolts and hex nuts. You need a 17mm wrench or socket to install. Preferably both. One to hold the bolt, the other to tighten the nut. I'm heading to the West Virginia mountains in a couple of weeks and look forward to strapping my bike onto this bad boy.

Great quality. I would definitely use an extension in the hitch to ensure that you're handlebars do not scratch your window. Easy to assemble. Lightweight. The release to let the bike down to get into the back of the vehicle is a little tricky to get back up by yourself but can be done just takes a little patience!

Great price for the what you get. It’s sturdy enough to carry my bike, and it’s small enough to safely put in my trunk when I take off on my ride, don’t want someone taking off with it. My only Issue with it is I wish the straps weren’t easily pulled apart. Even when you tighten them they can still pull apart way too easily so the road makes the straps loosen up. Luckily for me I caught my bike coming lose when I made a quick stop al ever since then I use bungee cords in addition to hold my bike down and I wrap a chain for security too. Don’t want someone yanking it off and taking off with it while I’m stopped!

Honestly surprised at how easy and effectively this bike carrier gets the job done. In my opinion, I think the installation is pretty intuitive and straight forward, didn’t really need the manual to get it set up. Was genuinely skeptical at how secure the bikes would be based on the basic strap/buckle mechanism. The bike did not budge an inch from the attachment point after taking it on the highway for approx 150 miles at speeds as high as 80. There is a little bit of play, maybe 1/4 inch or less, where the bike carrier inserts into the hitch receiver (my particular hitch, ymmv) which causes a little bit of wobble when driving but it was ultimately secure. In the box a few shims were provided to help reduce this, I will be installing these and seeing if any difference is made. Overall, for $50 this is a great deal.

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 is a great value. I purchased it to carry a walker. It mounts securely to the car. It seems sturdy. It hinges down to allow access to the car's trunk or rear hatch. AND it costs less than the competition.

perfect to my car- Kia Soul. little bit mass to install, but work very well and can take easy two bikes.

For the price, it seems rock solid. You just have to make sure every bolt is tightened all the way. All the review I saw of this product being shaky and unsecured seems like user error to me. I found some bad welds in the hitch attachment and the retainer bolt for the hinge could be improved but it’s $60, so you still get more than you pay for. I’d recommend this for bringing your bikes to camp grounds, local trails, and bike parks, but I don’t know if I’d trust the plastic bike mounts and straps on any off road trails/very bumpy gravel roads.

The hitch suits my Ford Focus curt tow bar , l have to honest l have been a fan of Allen but MaxxHaul have real good built quality product and l am satisfied by the finish and user friendly assembly pattern which was done by my 12 year daughter.

Great piece of kit easy assembly and solid when on the towbar.

Great lighter weight unit. Easy to attach and remove. Very happy.

I wanted to wait until I had to use this a few times before I pass judgment, but I have to say wow I found it simple to put together the rack looks to be well made, I have a Ford Escape that I've had to take it off and put on different times for road trips and I found it quite easy to put on and remove and I love that it has a lever that you can lower the bar so you can still open up the hatch without having to affect anything. Just the way the bikes hang they do bounce a little bit but I found no reason to be concerned about them tied to the back. I have also taken it off roading with quite rough roads and have held up really well.

Great
