Question:

Deciding between Sport Rack crest platform 4 bike rack or the Curt Manufacturing Cur18086 4bike rack which one is better? Thank you,

The Sportrack Crest is only a 2 bike rack, so I assume you are looking to compare the Curt 4 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount - Tilting # C18087 to the SportRack 4 Bike Rack for 2" Hitches - Platform Style SR2902. These bike racks are very similar in style and function, but there is one feature that I believe sets the Curt rack apart . . . its ability to tilt away for cargo access. This feature is extremely helpful when your bikes are loaded and you need to get something out of your cargo area.

For security in addition to the included anti-rattle hitch pin, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap - Bike Rack Strap with Cambuckle # 18050.
