• Can Class III Draw-Tite Hitch for a 2018 Acura RDX Hold 4 Bikes
• The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75784 that fits your 2018 Acura RDX has a 400 lb tongue weight rating so it will be able to handle a fully loaded 4-bike rack no problem. The thing that you need to mindful of though is that when I looked up the online owner's manual for your 2018 RDX it stated that the max trailer towing weight is 1,500 lbs and that you want to keep the tongue weight to 10% of that. This means that you need your bike rack plus your bikes to weigh no more...

• How Long is the Reese Eclipse Bike Hitch Mounted Folding Rack Mount 63124
• From the back of the upright bar to the front of the bike rack on the Reese Eclipse Bike Hitch Mounted Folding Rack, item # 63124, the distance is 26 inches. This makes the total length from the center of the hitch pin hole 34 inches when installed on the vehicle.

• Thanks for the pictures! To use the Yakima FullBack item # Y02633 on your 2022 Taos you are going to need to use the Yakima Tube Top Bike Adapter Bar item # Y02531 for your Bianchi, Brooklyn Bicycles, and a kids Schwinn.

• Availability of Bike Adapters with Minimum Length of 13 or Less
• We have a smaller adapter that, when fully collapsed, measure less than 15 inches, but not 13 inches. The Yakima bar, part # Y02531, has a minimum of 14-1/2 inches. I would measure the kids' bike frames again to make sure this adapter fits.

• Is Vehicle Tongue Weight Limit Applied When Using Hitch Mounted Accessories On 2006 Honda CR-V
• The 150 lb limit does apply to any accessory attached to the trailer hitch on your 2006 CR-V. The weight you place in the hitch includes the carrier as well as the cargo in the carrier. The bike rack you asked the question from is the Thule Hitching Post Pro, part # TH934XTR. This bike carrier weighs about 40 lbs so that weight needs to be added to the bike weight when carrying it in the trailer hitch. If you are planning on carrying bikes with alternative frames like kids bikes or...

• Does Curt Hitch for 2016 Ford Fiesta ST Have Weight Capacity for 190 lbs of Bikes/Bike Rack
• No the Curt hitch part # C11067 that you referenced cannot support 190 lbs of bike rack and bikes as it has a 150 lb tongue weight capacity. It is the only hitch that we have available for your fiesta as of October 2023. Additionally, since the # C11067 is a class I hitch, you are limited to carrying only 2 bikes on the hitch. Your Fiesta is just not up to the task.

• What is the Minimum Wheelbase of the Kuat Transfer 2 Bike Platform Rack
• The maximum wheelbase that the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Platform Rack part # KU74FR can accommodate is 50". I spoke to my contact at Kuat and they said that they do not list a minimum wheelbase unfortunately but they did tell me that pretty much any bike with at least a 20" diameter wheel will work. This includes BMX bikes as well. The only issue you would have is using the bike rack with a kids bike that has say 16" diameter wheels but other than that you would be fine.

• What Do You Recommend for Fitting Four Bikes Securely on a 2016 Subaru Outback?
• I have a solution for you. You are right when you mention that the Kuat NV 2.0 Two-Bike Add-On # BA02B will get you close (if not over) to the 200 pound maximum weight capacity of your 2016 Subaru Outback with 4 bikes plus the Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack # NV22B. In order to have the safety of your adult bikes with a platform rack without having to mount extra bikes on the roof, I recommend the Saris Freedom Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount - Tilting # SA4414B. This is a solid...

• Reduced Capacity w/ Dual Hitch Extender
• I would be happy to help you. I pulled a hitch for a 2021 Toyota RAV4 for reference. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" item # DT82QR has a 4,500 lbs towing capacity and a 675 lbs tongue weight capacity. The Curt Dual Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 8" Extension item # D-192 will cut both of those capacities in half. The reduced capacities will still leave you with more than enough to tow your trailer and bike rack. You will want to check...

• Can a Class III Trailer Hitch on 2014 Acura RDX Carry 4 Adult Bikes
• The Class III trailer hitch installed on your 2014 Acura RDX will work well to allow you to carry 4 adult bikes on a hitch mount bike rack. The trailer hitches we offer for your RDX have tongue weight capacities of at least 400 pounds and Class III hitches do not have the same kinds of restrictions as Class I hitches. The Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR you referenced has a weight capacity of 150 pounds, and weighs less than 50 pounds. So overall weight of the rack will be less than...

• How Much Does the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2 Weigh
• The Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2 weighs about 23 lbs and has a weight capacity of 35 lbs per bike. This bike rack is confirmed to fit your 2017 BMW X1. The Over-the-Top has arms that reduce the need for an adapter bar like part # HRBA-PRO, but in some cases one will still need to be used for proper ground clearance or to keep your bike level. If you have a horizontal top tube then one will not be needed, but if you have a women's bike, kid's bike, or a bike with an...

• Can Bikes Be Loaded Or Unloaded While Helium Pro 2 Bike Hitch Mounted Folding Rack Is Tilted
• The tilting feature for the Thule Helium Pro 2 Bike Rack Item # TH9042PRO can be tilted when the rack is empty so you can access the rear cargo area of your vehicle. It is not designed to be used for loading or unloading the bikes. If you are planning on carrying bikes with alternative frames like kids bikes or women's bikes I recommend using an adapter bar like part # 64005. This attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem and allows the bike to be carried more level in the...

• Bike Weight Capacity of Steadyrack Bike Storage Wall Rack B-SCSR02-004
• The Steadyrack Bike Storage Wall Rack # B-SCSR02-004 can handle mountain bikes and road bikes up to a 77-lb weight. This includes the vast majority of adult and kids' road and mountain bikes. About the only bikes that won't work are the heavier e-bikes and some recumbent bikes. The rack's weight capacity does depend in part on the mounting surface where you install it. If installing this on the wall of your garage you will want to use a stud finder to locate a 2 x 4 wall stud. Sheet rock...

It is a class III 2" which will give you the most options for accessories and the highest capacity for towing. Suspension upgrade options for your van are pretty...

• What is the Max Weight of the Swagman XP 5 Bike Rack for my 2001 Honda Odyssey?
• The maximum weight capacity of the Swagman XP Folding 5 Bike Rack, part number S64970, is 40 pounds per bike and 200 pounds maximum with 5 bikes. This weight with the weight of the bike rack, 40 pounds, should fall well within the tongue weight rating of your 2 inch hitch but you will need to check your vehicles tongue weight rating to be sure you are within the vehicle limits. The Swagman XP is one of the best styles of rack for alternative framed bikes such as kids bikes and womens bikes....

• What Makes the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE A Frame Mount Bike Rack
• The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2 Electric Bike Rack part # HLY84FR has a center post with hooks on either end that when moved down, hook over the frame of the bike to secure it in place which is why it is called a frame mount bike rack. The counterpart of this is a wheel mount bike rack like the Swagman Semi 4.0 2-Bike Platform Rack part # S64698 which the hooks once moved down, hook over the wheels to secure it in place which is why it is called a wheel mount bike rack. If you have...
