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...

Recommended 4 Bike Racks For 3 Kids Bikes And 1 Adult Bike On 2013 Buick Enclave
For so many small bikes and your desire to not use adapter bars, I recommend the Curt 4 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount - Tilting # C18087. This has adjustable wheel hoops for various size bikes along with the adjustable hooks to hold the bikes in place. This rack tilts to allow cargo access and will also fold when not in use. This rack will grow with your kids as the bike sizes increase. I recommend using the Locking Hand Knobs for Curt 4 Bike Platform Rack - Qty 4 #...

Availability of Trailer Hitch for 2015 Nissan Juke NISMO
The 2015 Nissan Juke NISMO has a different bumper style when compared to the other models. Unfortunately, this means that there are no custom-fit hitches for the vehicle. If you need a hitch for towing, the only option would be to have a custom hitch fashioned by a local fabricator using the # E17. If you were wanting a hitch for a bike rack you can use a trunk-mounted bike rack instead. The Thule Passage # TH910XT (for 2 bikes) or # TH911XT (for 3 bikes) is compatible with your vehicle....

Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2016.5 Mazda CX-5 and 4 Bikes
If the 1-1/4 inch hitch from Mazda is a Class II hitch (for 1-1/4 inch hitches there are Class I and Class II hitches) then it is rated to handle 4 bikes on a rack. But even if it is a Class II an aftermarket Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver will afford you more accessory options and cost less than the factory/dealer hitch. For your 2016.5 Mazda CX-5 a popular Class III hitch is # 76138. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. I would suggest the Thule Camber...

Is Adapter Available to Carry Childrens 16 Inch Bike with Kuat Sherpa
Even with Wheel Adapter, # PN2024, the smallest bike that can be carried on the Kuat Sherpa, # SH22G or the Kuat NV, # NV22G, is a 20 inch bike so this rack would not work for the 16 inch kid's bike. Another option would be to go with a hanging rack like the Saris Bones # SA882 and use a bike adapter bar like the Swagman Easy-Out, # 64005. The adapter bar attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem and is great for women's, children's, and alternative frame bikes because it...

Will the Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers LC429756 Work with Kids Bikes
Yes, the Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers part # LC429756 can be used with kids bikes. That is actually one of the bigger draws of this bike rack as there are very few kids bikes it won't work with and there are not really many other options that are more accommodating of kids bikes. If you take a look at the attached photo you will see a bike rack the above unit is based off of being used with a kids bike.

Which Hitch do you Recommend for my 2014 Kia Soul for my 1 1/4 Bike Rack?
Of the hitches I like the design of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11419. It is designed to go up and over the passenger side exhaust. Please keep in mind that with a Class 1 hitch there is a maximum capacity of two bikes. There are no hitches rated higher than that for your 2014 Kia Soul. Check out the video linked below on the installation.

3-Bike Rack Approved For Use Behind 5th Wheel Trailer
I checked with the rack manufacturers for you, and can verify there are no platform-style 3-bike racks approved for use behind a 5th wheel trailer, and in fact no 4-bike platform racks either. So in order to use a 3-bike rack behind your 5th wheel trailer, you would indeed need the hanging style. While I realize it isn't exactly what you are looking for, it is the only option for an approved rack: - Swagman Original - 3 Bike Rack for 2" Trailer Hitches # S64152-2 This rack will allow...

Recommended Trailer Hitch and Locking 5 Bike Rack for 2010 Honda Odyssey
For the best value hitch, I'd recommend the Draw-Tite Class III trailer hitch, part # 75270. For a bike rack, I'd recommend the Swagman XP, part # S64970. The rack isn't the most inexpensive, but it's a high quality locking rack with lots of features. Each individual cradle can rotate, allowing the bikes to be carried level, which will maximize your ground clearance. Once the bikes are removed, the rack can be tilted back away from the vehicle for access to the cargo area. The last cradle...

Comparing the Hollywood SportRider SE4 vs Saris SuperClamp EX 4 Platform Bike Rack for Subaru Ascent
I have a solution for you, but I'll start this off by saying that when you use any hitch mounted accessory like a bike or cargo carrier in your trailer hitch, it will likely set the backup sensors off. If the rack does not set the sensors off, the bikes probably will. You may have a setting that allows you to mute the sensors when you are carrying bikes. Additionally, trying to find a platform rack that will fold up to less than 12" is going to be impossible, but I think we can get close. When...

Looking for the Perfect 4 Bike Rack for a 2011 Honda Odyssey
For all of the specifications that you are looking for, I believe that a single arm rack with rotating cradles would be the best option, like the Swagman XP, # S64940. This rack is ultra-sturdy, has a good finish that can be kept up with a bit of spray paint and will allow you to carry 4 bikes with varying frame designs, by rotating the cradles, without the addition of adapter bars. This rack will store in minimal space and installs without tools utilizing a standard 5/8 inch hitch pin....

How to Transport 4 Bikes on 2015 Mercedes ML 350 Using Hitch and Hitch-Mount Bike Rack
We can help you with options for carrying your four bikes on your 2015 Mercedes-Benz ML350. However, the reason you could find no 4-bike trunk racks is that very few such carriers exist; we offer none and the reason why is that a 4-bike trunk-mount rack would simply place too much weight on that rear hatch (or on the trunk of a sedan) and would put some parts of a car at risk. The 3-bike Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top # HRF2-3 will properly fit your vehicle but it leaves you with 1 bike...

Is There an Adapter For Kids' Bikes For Hollywood Racks Trailer Rider Bike Rack
Hey there Jessica; thanks for the question and I went ahead and got the adapter added to our site for you so you can carry kids' bikes with the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider Bike Rack # HR200Z. For that you just need the Small Wheel Adapter # HLY84RR. Great choice with the Trail Rider # HR200Z, by the way. It's one of the best overall values you can get for a bike rack - nothing overly fancy, it just does what it needs to do, and does it well.

Trailer Hitch for 2001 Toyota Sienna and Thule Hitching Post Pro for 2 Adult Bikes and 1 Kid Bike
Yes, the Thule Hitching Post Pro bike rack # TH934XTR will hold 2 adult bikes and 1 kid bike. Keep in mind that if you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. It will also help you to load bikes that are small like some kids bikes. I have linked a video showing how the...

Can I Use Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack S64650 For Adult and Kids Bikes
Yes, the Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack Platform Style for 1-1/4" and 2" Trailer Hitches part # S64650 will carry an adult and kids bike at the same time because of it's adjustable hooks and wheel hoops. If your child's bike wheel is 20" in diameter or larger the Swagman XC will work fine while carrying both bikes.

Could Kuat Transfer 3 Bike Rack Allow Tailgate of 2015 Toyota Tundra to Fold Down
On the Kuat Transfer 3 bike rack part # KU24FR the tallest portion of it would be 10-1/2 inches above the top of your hitch opening so you can measure to see if it would allow the tailgate to fold down or not. Due to the much taller wheel cradles of the MonoRail bike racks I do not believe this would allow the clearance you are looking for.

Recommended Bike Rack to Use While Towing a Camper on a 2013 Ford F-150
I have a solution for a bike rack that you can use with your Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount # D210 on your 2013 Ford F-150. We do have a few different bike rack that have a rise in the shank that you are looking for. I test fit 2 different bike racks with the same setup that you would have on a trailer that has a latch that, when in the upright or unlock position, was 4-1/2 inches in high. The Swagman Titan # S63410 that you referenced did not have enough clearance to allow the 4-1/2 latch...
