Bike Carrying Options for Rear of 2015 Ford Mustang
Question:
Which bike rank can fit on my 2015 Ford Mustang 2.3 Ecoboost? I want something is a trunk rank

Expert Reply:
Although none of our bike rack manufactures offer anything that would be compatible with your 2015 Mustang, you could install a trailer hitch and use a hitch mounted rack. Going this route has a huge advantage, unlike a trunk mount or roof mount rack, nothing will be touching and possibly scratching the painted finish of your vehicle.
I'd recommend using the Draw-Tite Class I hitch, part # 24928. Swagman offers a reasonably priced 2 bike rack, the Trailhead part # S63360. The rack features padded anti-sway cradles to gently secure your bikes and prevent them from swinging around during transport. A locking hitch pin and cable lock is available as part # S64031.
I've linked you to an install video for the hitch, as well as some product description videos for the bike rack and the hitch/cable lock I recommended.
