Recommended Bike Carrier for 2 Firmstrong Beach Cruisers on 2015 Ford Escape Titanium  

Question:

I’m looking for a biker rack to carry 2 beach cruisers for my 2015 Ford Escape Titanium. I don’t have a trailer hitch. I like the Hollywood Gordo rack but your info says it’s not rated for my vehicle. These bikes, Firmstrong Urbana, men’s and ladies are on the heavy side, so I need a strong rack. Please advise.

For your 2015 Ford Escape Titanium, there is only one carrier that may be able to carry a bike of that weight. It is the SeaSucker Komodo Trunk Bike Rack - Fork Mount - Vacuum Cup Mounted # 298-BK1910-SV. This can handle a bike up to 45 lbs.

My recommendation for you is to get the Draw-Tite Max-E-Loader Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75758 which is a confirmed fit and an easy installation. Then you can use the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2-Bike Carrier # HLY84FR which can handle cruiser bike weight as well as electric bikes if you choose to go that route some day.

The Hollywood Racks Gordo, can carry 2 bikes at 35 lbs each maximum. It is very likely your bikes are too heavy for this rack based on my research as it appears bikes like yours are between 38 and 40 lbs depending on the accessories.
