  • Availability of Roof Rack for 2012 Toyota Prius V
  • None of the roof rack manufacturers we represent, including Thule, Yakima, Rhino-Rack, SportRack and others, offers an aftermarket roof rack for the 2012 Prius V. This has to do with the vehicle's roof structure which cannot support any significant weight. If you are looking to transport bikes we do offer trunk-mount racks that will work on your Prius V. The link provided will let you see all such carriers. Simply select your vehicle style from the drop-down menu box, either glass roof...

  • How to Use Both a Bike Rack and a Cargo Carrier on the Same Vehicle
  • The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Bike Rack # HR1450Z is still available, but when it comes to the 15x52 Hollywood Racks Hitch Cargo Carrier HR1485 it was discontinued a few years ago so the cargo carrier part of the equation isn't available anymore. In order to use both a bike rack and cargo carrier we'll need to get you setup with a hitch mount bike rack and then I recommend installing a roof rack on your vehicle and using a roof cargo basket like the Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel...

  • Roof Bike Carriers to Fit Factory Elliptical Crossbars on 2017 Subaru Crosstrek
  • The aero/elliptical type Subaru OEM crossbars are fairly large but many aftermarket roof-rack-mount bike carriers will fit them. All of our Subaru-friendly roof bike carriers are shown on the linked page, including carriers like the Yakima FrontLoader # Y02103. I contacted both Thule-USA and Yakima to see if either made the bike rack for Mini Cooper but this is not the case. The OEM Mini Cooper Touring roof bike rack might have an available adapter to allow installation on other cross...

  • Is There a Hitch For a 2023 Volvo S60 Hybrid to Carry Bikes or What Options Are There
  • I have a couple other options for you, but there is not currently a hitch that fits your 2023 Volvo S60 hybrid. Instead you would need to look at a roof rack or trunk mount style. The easiest and most cost effective way is the trunk mount style like the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack # TH45JV. This involves a lot less parts, you just need to install the rack and you can carry 2 bikes weighing up to 33 lbs. per bike. For a roof rack option, there are a couple routes. There are vacuum sealed...

  • Fat Tire Adapter for a Kaut Trio Roof Rack
  • Kuat has a few different sizes of Fat Bike Adapter Kits that might fit your Rocky Mountain Blizzard Fat Bike. For the Kuat Trio Roof bike Rack # RU01, you will need to know your the front axle measurement of your bike to get the correct adapter. I researched the Blizzard bike on Rocky Mountains site and found that the 2016 model had a 15 mm x150 mm front axle. If this measurement matches your axle, then the Kuat Phat 15 Fat Bike Adapter for Kuat Trio # TRP15-150 is the adapter that you...

  • Fitting Roof Cargo Box with Two Roof Bike Racks on 1997 Toyota 4Runner
  • It looks like your Yakima 2-bike rack is too long to allow a roof cargo box to fit behind it. Only possible solution would be to use two individual bike racks on either side of a smaller cargo box like this Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 # Y07192 that you referenced. This box is 33 inches wide so it would pretty easily allow bikes to fit on either side of it. Then for a roof bike rack you could use the Yakima ForkLift # Y02098 which is a similar style fork-mount rack that you currently have...

  • Availability of Bike Rack For Recumbent Bike on 2011 Chevrolet Equinox
  • Yes, I have the Swagman XC-Extended Platform-Style 2 Bike Carrier, part # S64650-EXT. This is a hitch bike rack that comes with two types of wheel hoops to fit different bike lengths. One set of wheel hoops will accommodate bikes with extra-long wheelbases, like your recumbent bike. The other set of wheel hoops can be used for bikes with the traditional wheelbase. This bike rack will fit both 1-1/4 inch and 2-inch hitch receivers. I am including a link to a video review on the Swagman bike...

  • Hitch Availability for 2010 Mazda 5 for Using Hitch Bike Rack
  • All three hitches offered for your 2010 Mazda 5 are light-duty Class I hitches with a 1-1/4-inch receiver opening and a tongue weight rating of 200-lbs. Unfortunately no Class II hitches are offered for your vehicle. Class I hitches have a limitation on their bike carrying capacity - 2 bikes maximum, regardless of the bike rack's capacity. Please refer to the linked article for more details. Although the Thule Hitching Post Pro 4 Bike Rack # TH934XTR will fit a Class I hitch, only two...

  • How to Carry 4 Bikes With a 2016 Chevy Cruze
  • I do have a solution for you to carry 4 bikes, but since the trailer hitch receivers that are available for your 2016 Chevrolet Cruz are 1-1/4 inch Class I receivers you will be limited to a 2 bike carrier for the hitch. To carry 4 bikes you will need to install a roof rack and carry 2 bikes on your roof. As far as which hitch receiver I recommend, If you are going to have a shop install it I recommend the Draw-Tite Sport Frame # 24943 because it doesn't require the use of the Support...

  • Roof Rack & Roof-Mount Bike Carriers for 2004 Honda Pilot
  • There is no single carrier that will both handle the weight of your 450-lb Honda scooter and also allow you to carry two standard bicycles, and at the same time remain within the capacity of the hitch on your 2004 Honda Pilot. The hitches made for your Pilot, shown on the linked page, have only a 350-lb tongue weight (TW) capacity. By the time you add the weight of a typical scooter carrier to your scooter's 450-lb weight you are way over the hitch and vehicle TW limit. Transporting your...

  • Hey Mark! Thanks for the kind words and business! The correct Thule Wingbar roof rack for your 2011 Subaru Impreza hatchback that has a totally naked roof would be the # TH711220, # TH460R, and # THKIT3068 that you referenced.

  • Availability of Class II Trailer Hitch for Carrying Bikes with 2013 Chevrolet Orlando
  • I'm assuming you're wanting a Class II hitch so you can carry more than 2 bikes, is that correct? Unfortunately, the hitch manufacturers haven't offered a Class II hitch for the Chevy Orlando, only a Class I. If the ability to carry 3 bikes would help, you could use a trunk mounted bike rack like the Thule Passage, part # TH911XT. If you need to carry 4 bikes, I'd recommend going with the trunk mount bike rack mentioned above and carrying the remaining bike on the roof. To do this, you'd...

  • Ski, Snowboard and Bike Carriers for the 2007 FJ Cruiser
  • For your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser with factory cross bars, there are several options for ski and snowboard racks. Depending on the number of skis or snow boards you would like to carry, I would recommend the Yakima FatCat EVO Roof-Mounted, Locking Ski and Snowboard Carrier, item # Y03096, 6 Skis/4 Boards. The maximum load for the roof of your FJ Cruiser is limited to skis and snowboards only so no bike mounts are recommended for your roof. A hitch mounted bike rack would be the easiest option...

  • Hitch Fits and Cargo Carrying Options for 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250
  • If you were needing the hitch to provide a mounting point for a bike rack, we do have options available for you. The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA is the first year of a new generation, and unfortunately the hitch manufacturers haven't come up with a hitch fit as of yet although I'm told there will be some fits available by mid-spring. Unfortunately, the # C13294 you'd mentioned is a fit for the previous generation GLA class and wouldn't be a fit for your 2020 model. If you were needing a hitch...

  • Do You Carry Larger Tire Cradles for the Thule Elite Van XT 2 # TH302043?
  • I have an answer for you. I confirmed with Thule that since the Thule Elite Van XT 2 # TH302043 is created with the entire platform 1500603220, they unfortunately do not sell the platform with larger tire cradles for fat bike tires. With that being said, you can mount a fat-bike bike rack on a crossbar system on your roof like the RockyMounts TomaHawk Roof Bike Rack for Fat Bikes - Wheel Mount - Clamp On # RKY1222. Using this method requires a compatible roof rack with your vehicle. In...
