I have a solution for you, but there are no 4 bike trunk racks on the market, mostly because they're just not able to hold the additional weight safely. With that said, you can use something like the Yakima FullBack 3 # Y02633 which will carry 3 bikes weighing up to 90-lbs total. I really like the FullBack as an option because it comes with a cable lock for your bikes and a lock to keep the rack secured to your vehicle, plus the price point is a bit better than the other available choices.... view full answer...
