Question:
I am a 72 year old female with a 2015 Cadillac SRX with 2 inch hitch. I need a platform bike rack that is easy to assemble, install and load. What do you recommend?

I recommend the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Aluminum Platform Rack # SH22B for you. This is one of the easiest bike racks to set up, install, and use. The Sherpa bike rack is made out of durable, lightweight aluminum. This carrier weights 32 pounds, coming in below similar platform bike racks made out of steel.
This bike rack is secured to your hitch with an included locking hitch pin. The anti-rattle system of this bike rack is engaged with a hang tightening system and does not require any additional tools.
The rear wheel cradle of this bike rack self-adjusts to accommodate bikes of different lengths. This allows you to carry a variety of bikes without adjusting the wheel cradles. The tire hooks on the bike rack secure the bike at the wheels, allowing you to carry bikes regardless of the style of the frame.
I have included a review video of this bike rack for you.
