Solid Rack, Well made
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. ... show more

It works with some extra straps
Overall, this a decent bike rack for the price. Given that I paid just over $100, I can not complain at all. I would certainly recommend it a a budget bike rack. However, it does have some "wobble". Some of this is from the 2 -inch hitch receiver, all hitch have some play and this is exaggerated when you have a long/wide bike rack. a 1/8-inch of play at the hitch results in inches of movement out at the end of the bike rack. That is to be expected, and a hitch anti-rattle device (they include one) does help to reduce this wobble. Though, there is also some wobble in the various components of the bike rack. Because it can be disassembled, all the pieces have a loose fit. This results in a bit more play. Once the bikes are loaded and everything it tightened down, there is still a fair bit of play. How I fixed the wobble. I was able to almost eliminate all the wobble by adding just 2 tie down straps. One around both bike and the frame of the bike rack, when tighten this basically locks both bikes and all the bike rack components into one solid unit. this really ensures that nothing moved on the rack. the second strap I place between the bikes and my car (to a roof rack, tow hook, or truck bed). This second strap is to stabilize the wobble of the whole unit. Once I have these two extra straps tightened up, the entire unit is solid as a rock! ... show more

Great value for the $ ** May require modification to prevent exhaust frying bike tire **
I've used a home-made rack for 20 years but it required removing the front bike tire, which has become a chore. So I looked at the myriads of racks which don't require removing a tire, from $ to $$$$. The high-buck racks were WAY out of my pocketbook range so I concentrated on the low-end racks and decided to give this one a shot, and I'm quite happy with it. Sure it isn't perfect but with a bit of mods it suits my needs very well. * PROS: - Great buy for the money - Easy to assemble/disassemble - Easy to install/remove from vehicle - Easy to mount/dismount bike - Reasonably lightweight - Sturdy when bike is clamped TIGHT - Clamp provided to prevent hitch wobble (see photos for my fix) * CONS: - No locking mechanism - Tilt mechanism wobbles (see photos for my fix) - Depending on your vehicle the exhaust from tailpipe likely to heat tires unacceptably... (see photos for my fix) When I was removing my bike after a 10 mile drive I almost burned my hand when I bumped up against the metal rail, which is when I realized the rack was just above being in-line with the exhaust. Back home after the ride I checked the temperature of the bike tire and metal bar and they were 175° & 190°! Since the rack was too far out from the vehicle for my taste (Toyota 4Runner), I got the idea to cut the center bar and overlap it, in effect shortening it 4" and raising it 2". I bolted it together first to make sure it did what I wanted, and now that it works I will weld it together permanently. About the exhaust heating tires and rack bar issue... I would guess a LOT of people never realize this could be an issue (I never did because my custom rack was much higher) but it is worth checking the relationship between exhaust stream and bar/tire height before driving along distance, only to have a melted/deteriorated tire. I don't fault the rack at all for no locking mechanism because I never leave the bike unattended on the rack, it's always home to biking and back to home. If it HAD a locking mechanism it would cost more, which would reduce the value per $. (I do have a means to lock the wherever there is a removable pin so I actually CAN lock the bike to the rack while preventing rack disassembly as well, but again, I never leave it unattended so I don't bother.) I use other means to prevent hitch wobble (see photos for my fix) so I used the provided clamp to prevent wobble from the tilt mechanism instead, as it was more than I expected. Sure I won't be able to tilt the rack but the trade-off for no wobble AT ALL was worth giving up the tilt, which I won't use anyway. NOTE: Plan on taking extra time to figure out exactly where you want to clamp the tire baskets. I'd recommend facing the bike(s) with the chain on the OPPOSITE side from the rack so the knob doesn't interfere with the any part of the bike. Overall, knowing what I know now, I would buy this rack again and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to keep the cost under $100. ... show more

A good bike rack for the price
The bike rack took about 30 minutes to assemble once unpacked. It was well packed and there was no damage. The instructions are fairly clear. Some of the diagrams do not accurately portray the parts, but you can figure it out. The video link using the QR code was for a different rack, so it was no help. The rack fits perfectly in the truck's hitch receptacle. Mounting the bikes is easy. I use two bungee cords in addition to the rubber straps over the rims and the main mount which tightens over the bike frame. If you mount the bike correctly, it will stay secure. Check all knobs to ensure they are tight before you drive off. The rack is easy to dismount from the truck. This rack is a good value; you could spend a lot more for a rack but this one does the job. ... show more

Very nice carrier for the money.
I was surprised at the quality of this item at this price point. I went ahead and purchased it based on the positive reviews. I am not disappointed! It was pretty easy to put together. The only real issue I had was getting the hair pin through the receiver pin. I had to reverse the pin direction and wiggle it a bit to get it through. That could be as much due to my receiver box as the provided pin. I wasn't sure if the carrier would tilt forward for opening the hatch. As you can see from the photos that it does. That's great! It was easy to adjust to fit our bikes. A couple of things to know: 1. You need to make sure that your vehicle exhaust does NOT flow onto the carrier OR especially the bike tires. If it does, you will need a riser. Fortunately, I did not need a riser. 2. They recommend that you strap down the bikes to the rack, but they don't provide the straps. I'm using bungee cords and it works well. The only negative I have to say about it is that it does wobble a little more that I thought it would. I think you would have to spend several hundred more to get one with less wobble. This is not a big deal for me and it doesn't wobble enough to be a problem. It was easy take off the vehicle. The arms and vertical post easily come off for compact storage. I would recommend this to any friends or family looking for a hitch carrier. UPDATE: I tightened the bolt that servers as the hinge to tilt the carrier away from the vehicle. (See the 4th photo.) This has eliminated the wobble. I just carried my bike on a 160 mile round trip to do a ride at a national park. The carrier worked great! Once I arrived, I was quickly able to take it off the back of my car and stow it in the hatch while I rode my bike. Love this carrier! ... show more

Excellent Platform Bike Carrier
UPDATE Oct 2026: Still rocking this same bike rack. Added bigger wheel cradles offered by Maxxhaul (50529) to accommodate a fat tire bike. I also swapped some of the cotter pins for bolts. But this rack has been an absolute gem. It stays on my SUV all the time. I just pull the mast out so my rear gate goes all the way open. I also found pulling the mast out makes loading the inner bike a breeze. Could not be happier with this bike rack. The method it secures the bikes to the rack is ultra secure. And the tilt feature is super handy. I have no complaints whatsoever. At this price, this rack is a no-brainer. Will buy same one of this one ever breaks (which i doubt it will). Bought this after paying far too much for a bicycle. I wanted support under the tires, and less swinging (which I got from different style bike rack). Very good purchase. In my opinion, this is the best way to secure the upper portion of the bike to a platform carrier. It locks into place, AND has a threaded knob for fine tune adjustments. You can even use a trailer coupler lock in there for extra security. Hands down, the best, IMHO. Also, a few of the pins were replaced with nuts and bolts for added security. NOTE: You are limited in tire width! Which wasn't a problem until I got a fat tire bike with 3 inch fat tires. They would not fit in the tire cradles. Good news is that Maxxhaul part number 50529 exists, which is a set of cradles for up to 4 inch tires that fit on this (50027) carrier. ... show more

Weird instructions but not a bad bike rack
This was easy to put together once I figured it out but the instructions must have been poorly translated from another language because it confusing as hell. The booklet even had a diagram of a different model bike rack but not of one I bought. The bike rack itself is secure to my tow hitch but the hinge and pin that secure the top half is a little wobbly. But it works for what I need it for. ... show more

Better than expected!
It works. I needed a bike rack but didn't want to spend 500 dollars so I ordered this one hoping it would suffice. Pleasant surprise, it works great. It seems a little wobbly at first but after several trips down my very rough road to the main road it did great. It also comes apart easily for storage. I'd definitely buy it again. ... show more
