Expert Answers about Mercedes-Benz Trunk Bike Racks


  • 2022 Hyundai Kona Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation
  • Hi K, thanks for reaching out! Thule actually doesn't list out any trunk rack fits for your 2022 Hyundai Kona, and while Thule doesn't post the reasons why racks don't fit, from my experience it has to do with where exactly the rack will place pressure on the vehicle. A great alternative to the Thule Gateway Pro 2 Bike Rack # TH88VR is the Yakima FullBack # Y02634. The FullBack is arguably my favorite rack we carry because of how sleek it looks and how easy it is to use. I've actually...

  • Recommended Trunk Bike Rack For A 2019 Ford Escape Titanium
  • Hey Myron, we do have some great trunk mounted bike rack options for your 2019 Ford Escape Titanium. I agree that the way things are listed on the website is a bit confusing. Basically, in the case of the 2019 Ford Escape, all of the racks shown will fit both the Titanium and non-Titanium models, so this is why you may see it listed under both vehicle styles. I have included a link below that will show you all of the racks that will fit the Titanium model. All that said, the Saris Bones...

  • Is There A Bike Rack For Carrying A Trike And A Bike?
  • Hello Anne, we do have a potential solution for carrying a trike and a bike. Unfortunately, there is not a bike rack that can hold both a trike and a bike at the same time. Your best option for carrying the trike is to use the SeaSucker Trike Rack part 298-BD1005. This is a vacuum cup mounted carrier that installs on the roof of your car. It will hold one trike weighing up to 45 lbs total. Then for the bike you could simply use a trunk mounted or hitch mounted bike rack such as the Thule...

  • Recommended Bike Rack Options For A 2023 Jeep Wrangler
  • There are some good bike rack options for the 2023 Jeep wrangler. Because of the design of the rear hatch and the placement of the spare tire there really will not be any good trunk mounted options, but there will be a few other directions we can go. One option is to go with a spare tire mounted bike rack like the Hollywood Racks SR1 # HRSR1. This rack will install over the door mounted spare tire and it will fit virtually any tire up to 15" wide. It can hold two bikes weighing up to 35...

  • Recommended Bike Rack For A 2024 Toyota Corolla SE
  • Hi Ed, I always prefer hitch mounted bike racks over trunk mounted so your Corolla will need to have a trailer hitch. If you don't currently have one then I recommend installing the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24983. Once installed you can choose a bike rack with a 1-1/4" shank. I own the Thule DoubleTrack Pro XT Bike Rack # TH92BJ, which has an adapter to work with either a 1-1/4" or 2" trailer hitch receiver. It can accommodate tires up to 5" wide, has padded ratcheting...

  • Best Solutions For Carrying a Bike Rack Behind a 2004 Honda CR-V
  • The simplest and most economical option is going to be the Hollywood Racks SR1 2-Bike Carrier # HRSR1. This does mount on the spare tire but the arms which hold the bike can be slide to the side allowing you to better center the bikes behind your 2004 Honda CR-V. Do understand the maximum weight for each bike is 35lbs for this and is common among these types of racks. For a stronger rack that will be easier to use with your rear door you would want to add our Receiver # e69AR. This would...

  • 2016 Buick Envision Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 3-Bike Rack
  • Hey Claudia, thanks for reaching out! Hitch mount bike racks are definitely the preferred route since you have a wider variety of options to choose from and the hitch can handle more weight than a trunk style can. The hitch I recommend for your 2016 Buick Envision is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e59KR because it has the same end result as the other hitch options, but it has a matte black finish on it which in my experience looks better and does a better job hiding any scratches...

  • Can Bike Racks With Ratcheting Arms Be Used on Bikes With Front Fenders
  • Bike racks like the Swagman Skaha 2 Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # S67SR can be used with fenders, but there is a chance that they interfere. It'd just depend on the bike, and how big the fenders are. If you aren't willing to roll the dice that this rack does not work, then I'd recommend just using the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # HLY94FR which will absolutely work with fenders since it uses wheel straps instead, to secure your bike(s).

  • Recommended Platform Bike Rack for a 1-1/4 Inch Hitch
  • That all depends on the style of bike you're going to be using. The Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes item # HLY94FR you were looking at is a great option for bikes with alternative frames and fenders. It uses padded cradles with ratchet straps to secure your bikes by the downtubes or top tube. It does have a lower weight capacity at 35 lbs per bike and you wouldn't want to mount a bike with a carbon frame to it. If you have a heavier e-bike then you will want to go with...

  • Question About Hitch And Bike Rack For A 2024 Subaru Forester Sport
  • Good morning, Dale. We do offer a hitch for your 2024 Subaru Forester sport, as well as many compatible bike rack options. For a hitch I recommend etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e83ZR. This hitch can carry 525 lbs of tongue weight, so plenty for any bike rack. It also has a 2" receiver, meaning you will have a lot of bike rack options. My favorite bike rack is the Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # NV22B. It can hold bikes weighing up to 60 lbs apiece so it works with heavier e-bikes. This...

  • Best Value E-Bike Rack Recommendation
  • Hey James, so the best and most economical bike rack we have for e-bikes is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider E-Bike rack part # HLY84FR which I would highly recommend. The Swagman you mentioned doesn't have the capacity for an E-bike rack.

  • Front Mount Bike Rack Assembly For a 2010 Toyota Tacoma
  • The best way to put a front mount bike rack on a 2010 Toyota Tacoma is by installing a front hitch # 31313. The 2" receiver and 350 lb TW capacity will allow you to carry pretty much any bike rack of your choosing. I am not sure what kind of bikes you have or how many you need to carry. A great option for a 2-bike rack is the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider # HR200Z. This rack can hold two bikes weighing up to 45 lbs apiece. I like this rack particularly for front mount applications because...

  • Bike Rack Solution for 2014 Dodge Durango RT Towing Camper
  • Hey Roger, looking at your setup I have a solution but I don't think you'll have enough room between the camper and the Durango to successfully mount a bike rack so what your best option will be is a roof rack for the 2014 Dodge Durango RT like with the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK299 so that you can use a roof bike rack like the Rhino Rack # RRRBC050.

  • Bike Rack Options For A 2023 Hyundai Tucson
  • Hello again Michelle. The Saris Glide EX Bike Rack # SA774 will indeed fit a 2023 Hyundai Tucson with a class 3 hitch. The tilt feature will allow the hitch to open and close normally. Saris bike racks are definitely good quality. They are all made here in the USA. I would put the quality of their racks up there with other major brands like Thule or Yakima. They are reliable, durable, and known to be user-friendly. They do come with a lifetime warranty. Generally, I do recommend using...

  • 2021 Ford F-350 Roof Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for Two Kids Bikes
  • Thanks for reaching out, Brett! I have 2 different options for you and it really just boils down to what you're looking to get out of the bike rack system. My first choice for you is the Yakima FrontLoader # Y02103 because it's compatible with down to 20" wheels and is a very solid bike rack. I've installed a bit of the Yakima products personally and I've always been confident in the quality and durability of their racks. This is a single bike application though so if you're looking to...
