Recommended Hitch-Mount Bike Carrier For 2016 GMC Terrain

Question

Question:

I have a 2016 Terrain Denali. I own a Trek road bicycle. I need a dependable hitch rack for my bike and would like one for a 2inch receiver. What would you suggest? Is there a dependable one that is less than $275. I am traveling a lot alone so Id like something that has capability of locks or comes with locks.

The hitch mounted bike rack I recommend for your 2016 Terrain is the Swagman Chinook, part # S64683.

This bike carrier will hold 2 bikes that weigh up to 45-lbs each. The center mast padded hooks ratchet to hold the bike securely to the carrier. The bike carrier comes with a lock in the arms that secures the bikes to the carrier and also comes with a locking hitch pin to deter theft of the carrier. The hitch pin also doubles as an anti-wobble device. Another nice feature about this rack is that you can tilt it while the bike or bikes are loaded to allow you access to the rear cargo area of your Terrain. The # S64683 has a lifetime warranty and should perform well for you.
