MaxxHaul 50027 Hitch Mount Bike Rack Platform Style 2-Bike Rack for Cars Trucks SUVs Minivans with Hitch Tightener

The HItch mount Rack Platform is sturdy and well made. You can easily make it into a one bike rack which I did. It is refreshing that Maxxhaul makes a bike rack that has a great price and really well made. The instructions are clearly terrible. Maxx Haul makes an easy project into a difficult one. They should start "over again". I am not the only person that find them stupidly unclear. Hire another person to take over that project. The wheel wells adjustment, the distance the wheel clamps are way from each other, is time consuming since they are almost impossible to slide. I had to take the wheel clamp off to move it. You need this adjusted perfectly because the bicycle will be more secure and balanced on the rack. You should probably make sure the air pressure in each tire is perfect since it does affect this adjustment. There is a bit of wiggle room so replacing the quick dissconect fitting, which hold the rack together, with regular bolts would make this rack absolutely solid. The great price and this solidly made rack makes this a very good deal.

You can't beat this price for an entry level tow hitch bike rack. Value for money. Works as advertised. Rack was surprisingly stable even at high speed (up to 100km/hr on motorway). Didn't get to drive off road with this. Would advise to add anti-vibration clamp and tow lock. Taking 1 star away as the included tow pin was poorly machined and too short and thick for my tow hitch. Had to manual grind it to get it to fit. The other tow lock I bought separately had no issues at all. Relatively light weight, easy to assemble and disassemble (approx 3-5mins). Does well for its intended purpose. Would recommend to other potential buyers.

Got this rack delivered in 2 days with Prime. The lock pins were kinda different from the instruction sheet, & some were smaller in diameter than the holes. Some wobbling & balancing I did not like on the road with 2 bikes in. As other reviewers suggested, I replaced both left and right quick removal pins by quality bolts (tight fit in the holes) and nylon locking nuts for safety (less than $5.00). I did not care to make it "permanent" as I have plenty of room for storage. At the mean time while I was there with a ratchet I tightened the center bolt that holds the vertical post (It was kind of loose). Now everything is tight, sturdy and solid, love this rack that costs a fraction of a Thule!

A surprising good product. I thought it might be lacking somewhere (finish) because of the price. Not so. Well packaged. East to follow instructions (though hardly needed, other than knowing which pin goes where), very well finished with everything fitting neatly and tightly where it should. I have no hesitation recommend this rack. Fits my 29” MT bike fine despite their disclaimer.

This fits very well and is very strong as well. Its safer than most of the other bike racks and the mounting does not take much time as well. This can be easily dismantled and stored in the trunk of the car. It takes about 10-15min to attach it to the car and mount the cycles so very satisfied with the purchase and highly recommend this rack.
