Recommendation on a Hitch 4 Bike Rack for a 2015 VW Tiguan

Question:

Can you tell me what would be best for a 4-bike hitch rack that will hold 2 mens, one womens, and one childs bike? This is for a 2015 VW Tiguan.

Our most popular hitch mounted 4 bike rack for the 2015 Volkswagen Tiguan is the Thule Hitching Post Pro 4 Bike Rack, # TH934XTR. The Hitching Post Pro will mount in either an 1-1/4 inch or a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver opening. This Thule rack can tilt away from your Tiguan, with bikes unloaded, allowing you easy access to your vehicle's cargo area.

I also recommend the Kuat Ubar Bike Frame Adapter Bar, # UB01. Since most women's bikes do not have the top cross bar and kid's bikes can be too narrow to properly fit on hanging racks, the bike adapter bar allows your to mount these bikes to the rack. The bar connects between the seat post and the handle bars and is adjustable to fit many different size bikes.

I also recommend the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device, # THSTL2. This device will secure your bike rack into the hitch to help eliminate the rattle that can occur when mounting racks. The Snug Tite also includes a lock to secure the rack into the hitch to deter theft.

I have attached videos on the products that I have recommended for you to review.
