Bike Rack Recommendation for Flat Towed 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
Question:
One more question. You recommended the Hollywood #HLY64FR rack for flat towing on a 2020 Jeep Wrangler behind a motorhome. One of the videos states it is not best for carbon fiber bicycles due to direct frame contact. We currently have carbon fiber bicycles and when we buy ebikes, we intend to get high-end, lower weight carbon fiber ebikes weighing between 32 and 45 lbs, not including the battery. Is there a different rack you would recommend knowing that we will be using carbon fiber bicycles? Thanks.Current bikes are between 19 and 26 lbs - we have road bikes and hybrids. All carbon fiber and one aluminum frame. We will likely only carry 2 at a time, but if we could carry a third, that would be a plus. Anticipate that when we buy ebikes they will be road or hybrid style without fenders in carbon fiber. Cannondale and Specialized both currently make bikes like this. Thanks.

The best option for you is the Hollywood Rack RV Rider part # HLY64FR that you referenced. It has the clearance to fit past your Jeep spare, is flat-towed approved, and can be used with all of the bikes you mentioned.

Thank you. Can the the Hollywood HLY64FR rack be used on our flat-towed vehicle with a swing away hitch adapter. If so, which ones could we safely use? Thanks again.
