Recommended Bike Rack for 2014 Toyota Sienna
Question:
The softride dura has been recommended a couple times on your site for the 2014 Sienna. Has this product been discontinued as Ive been unable to find it. Im looking for a hitch mount bike rack for my 2014 Sienna for 3-4 bikes.

The Softride Dura has been discontinued but there is still a great 4-bike that will work great with your 2014 Toyota Sienna.
Based on test fits of hitches such as the Class III, 2" Draw-Tite # 75237 or Curt # C13105 we know you need a bike rack with a shank that is longer than 4-1/2". I strongly recommend checking out the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR, which is 13-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the upright bar of the carrier.
This 4-bike rack is one of our most popular choices because of how well it protects your bikes with HoldFast cradles as well as anti-sway arms; it also holds your bike frames at three different points to ensure they stay put. The Hitching Post Pro offers convenience with its tilting mast so you can access your Sienna's rear storage, and folding arms so you can put it away without taking up too much room when you aren't using it.
It also has a built-in anti-rattle bolt, but you can lock the rack to your hitch and protect your investment with the Snug-Tite Hitch Lock # THSTL2, which also works as an anti-rattle device.
Additionally, please note that when using any hanging rack like the Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR you'll need bike frame adapter bar # 64005 if your bike is dual-suspension, has a step-through frame or you want to carry a small children's bike. The bar will give those bikes a horizontal mounting point so they can be carried by the rack.
I've also added a photo showing you how this rack looks on a '14 Sienna so you can see for yourself what it will look like.
