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

I ordered this for a 2024 Jeep Wrangler Sport, with the tire and camera I had specifics that needed to be met. I needed to add an extender on the hitch, I chose the 6.25 inch extender as that is the shortest I could find. I actually only needed about 2 inches to get beyond the tire and camera. I also added a lock and anti rattle hitch tightener/stabilizer. The lock is probably pointless when the bike rack is installed as the bike rack bolt is a screw in bolt so I’m unable to lock that to the tow hitch. It’s crazy tight and safe I used a ratchet to be sure all the bolts were really tight. I added a video but this does not require any special skills 53 year old woman easy to assemble and install. Does not block the rear camera and with the stabilizer zero noise and almost no shake. Bike is a size small specialized rock hopper, I don’t feel a bike any smaller would fit, this is tight but fits.

Easy to assemble, install and use. Very sturdy as well as easy secure mounting of bicycle.

So, set expectations for a sub $60 light weight bike rack, and you'll be pleasantly surprised. That said. 1. Expect to shim the hitch to keep from wobbling around in the coupler, if you care about that. This could be better and if it was, this would be a 5 star review. 2. You are going to want some extra straps. -to keep the front fork from swimming around (front rim to frame) - frame of bike to vertical post of rack to keep from swaying rearward and forward 3. If only using for 1 bike, the straps from the other mount do the trick. If doing 2 bikes, get or make straps to keep the front wheels and forks behaving, and to keep the frames from swaying out and back during acceleration/deceleration. Check for contact points and don't be afraid to add a pad here and there if it makes sense. Bottom line is this is a solid rack for the money, just use your best judgment on whether additional tie downs are a good idea, and be prepared to use some wedge shims in the hitch connector if the movement bothers you (did/does me).

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.

OK, I have read a number of negative reviews about the MAXXHaul Bike bitch Mount 50025 complaining that the rack wobbles or the bikes wobble somewhat while driving. I have been using this bike rack for 6 months now and quickly learned that the hitch mount locking screw needs to be tightened down using a ratchet wrench, not the flimsy wrench provided with the rack. This will help ensure that the rack is completely stable in the 2" hitch, (which, by the way, fits perfectly in my Lincoln Navigator 2" trailer hitch). Regarding bike wobble, this is easily overcome with the use of bungie cords around the rack center post and bike frame, and Velcro tie-down straps to stabilize each of the wheels. This takes very little effort and minimal additional expense to ensure that your bikes are mounted securely and safely. If you wish to be doubly secure, you can also attach a Rhino USA Hitch Tightener which will provide an extra level of security against any possible wobble of the mount in the 2" trailer hitch receiver. This tightener is also available on Amazon. Overall, I am very pleased with the quality and utility of this very attractive and well built bike rack. I have used in on both local roads and at highway speeds and i am completely satisfied with this purchase. I recommend it highly!

I ordered this because I needed something for my mother in laws wheelchair to be carried by tahoe hitch. We're a family of 9 so we take up all the room and seats. I had to make a couple modifications so when its not in use it'll come apart and still fit in the small tahoe trunk. I did not like the size of the square tubing that goes into the hitch. It's to small even with the tightening bolt that comes with it. If it was a bigger size it would be better or if an adapter could be sold with it. Its not scratch resistant. It works for bikes in my case it worked for the wheelchair. I do like the tie down straps it came with. Its easy to tie it down and loosen it.

Really decent quality stiffer than I thought it would be. That's what she said

Works great for what I need. Never had two bikes on it thus far but it holds one heavy bike well. Has some play but with a few cheap hardware pieces I'm sure you could easily take care of that. Much better than a strap rack

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.

What I needed. It works well and it's sturdy!

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
