• Malone Runway HM4 VS Swagman XTC4
  First off, the Swagman XTC4 # S64665 is motorhome approved so it is a bit more sturdy than the Runway HM4 # MAL82VR. The Swagman also has the bike cradles inclined up to gain more ground clearance as the Runway does not. All in all I would recommend the XTC4 to you as you're used to the Swagman Products and it seems that it fits your needs more than the Runway HM4.

• Does Malone Runway HM4 Bike Rack Tilt Down Freely
  The Malone Runway HM4 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # MAL82VR does not have a stopping or lock point; when you pull the spring pin it will in fact tilt down, and the pin will need to be re-inserted at the correct position when tilting it back up. So really the tilting feature would be best suited for two people when using the Malone Runway # MAL82VR. This is a really nice option for a 4-bike rack though, and even comes with locking knobs on the arms to help protect your bikes. The HM4 comes with...

• Which 4-Bike Carrier Has The Ability To Tilt For Trunk Access Without Unloading The Bikes?
  I have a perfect solution for you! But unfortunately the Curt Premium 4 Bike Rack # C18064 along with any other hanging bike rack does not have the ability to tilt while bikes are loaded. For this feature, you will need to go with a platform bike rack. I think a great option for you would be the Malone Runway Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches # MAL82VR. This is very affordable considering it is a platform rack that has the ability to tilt for trunk access while 4 bikes are still loaded...

• Trailer Hitch and 4-Bike Carrier for a 2011 Kia Sorento
  I will be happy to help you out. First, for a trailer hitch, since you want to carry 3 to 4 bikes I recommend going with the sturdier Class III trailer hitch with a 2 inch receiver because of the strength and versatility. Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75684 fits that description perfectly. Drilling is not required for installation. I have linked a video showing installation for you. For a bike rack the Hitching Post Pro, # TH934XTR, is a great option and I recommend it for someone who wants...

• 4 Bike Rack That Can Tilt To Allow Full Trunk Access On 2015 GMC Yukon
  I have a solution for you, but the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # HR4000 unfortunately does not have the ability to tilt back.

This is definitely the most affordable option that will allow you to tilt the bike rack back while 4 bikes are loaded.

• Thule Hitching Post Pro Or Curt Premium 4 Bike Tilting?
  If you're wanting to be able to tilt the rack so you can access the back hatch and keep your bikes loaded, both the Curt Premium # C18064 and the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR do not allow tilting with the bikes installed. So I don't recommend either of these racks for you. You will need to get a platform style rack If you want hatch access with the bikes installed. The Malone Runway # MAL82VR would work for all of your bikes and can tilt with all of them installed. You may need...

• What are the Pros/Cons of the Sport Rider SE 4 # HR1400Z and the Malone Runway 4 # MAL82VR?
  When it comes to hitch-mounted carriers by Hollywood Racks and Malone that can carry adult bikes, kids bikes, and mountain bikes, one pro of the Hollywood Racks models is the weight capacity. If you are looking at a rack like the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches # HR1400Z, the per-bike weight capacity is 50 pounds. This is great for heavier adult bikes (not electric bikes) and full-suspension mountain bikes. Another great advantage is that the Sport Rider...

• USA Made Expandable Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for Fat Bikes
  The Malone Runway 4 Bike Rack # MAL82VR can hold tires up to 3.5 inches wide and unfortunately, Malone does not make a fat tire adapter kit for the this rack. This bike rack is also not able to go from its 4-bike configuration to a 2-bike configuration, so I don't believe it's your best option. Now, for a USA made 4-bike rack the best option is the Thule T2 Pro XTR part # TH83JV with 2-bike add on # TH9036XT which can go back and forth between a 2-bike and a 4-bike rack and is designed...

  With the EcoHitch # 306-X7277 having a 2 inch receiver opening and 200 pound capacity, you have quite a few options available. Though it will depend on how many bikes you will be carrying and what style they will be, here are a few of the ones I recommend. For a hanging style rack, I suggest the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR. The quote from their add says "If the Thule name alone doesn't do it for you, how about we throw in anti-sway cradles, a tilting mast, folding arms and universal...
