ms60ocb Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 I brought CURT bike hanging rack 8 years ago and still using it with no problem and easy on and off. Some people perfer the platform style but I would rather have the wheels hanging.

Chalkie Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) I have had this bike rack for about 4 years and it works well. Only holds 2 bikes and we have used it behind our car and on the hitch on RV with no problems. Here is the link to Amazon for it. https://www.amazon.com/Highland-1375100-SportWing-Mounted-Carrier/dp/B004002CS4/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Highland+1375100&qid=1592085432&sr=8-1 Edited June 13, 2020 by Chalkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyretired Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 My son bought an inexpensive bike rack for their 5er. It lasted about 50 miles before people started to alert him. They saved the bikes and we rebuilt the rack. Quote Randy 2001 Volvo VNL 42 Cummins ISX Autoshift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up with a front hitch and put a Yakima rack on it. That works. Doesn’t have to be a Yakima rack, but a front hitch on the truck is handy for all sorts of reasons, not just bike racks.

RWeigant Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 After looking for a rack for my Wrangler I decided to get this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005Z17Q88/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I wanted one that attaches to the tire so I can open the gate up. This looked like the easy answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
