What is the Difference Between the Hollywood Racks Express 3 and Baja 3 for a 2007 Toyota Camry
Question:
Whats the difference between the Hollywood Racks Express 3 and Baja 3? I have a 2007 Toyota Camry and they both should fit, but why is the Baja more? Is it a better rack? Thanks

The Hollywood Racks Baja 3 # HRB3 has more to offer than the Hollywood Racks Express 3 # HRE3 which is why there is a price difference.
The differences are that the Baja has anti-sway cradles to help prevent bike-to-bike contact, the Express does not. The Baja will fit more factory spoilers while the Express cannot fit any spoilers. The Baja has red safety reflector on the arms and the Express does not. Also the Baja arms have a distance of 12-1/2 inches between them as opposed to the Express measuring in at 16 inches. This means you are more likely to need an adapter bar # HRBA-PRO for bikes without a horizontal top tube (like a men's traditional bike has) if you go with the Express. Keep in mind that you still might need one for the Baja depending on the style of bike frames that you have.
When looking at these features individually it doesn't seem like too much of a difference, but when you combine them and put them on one rack and not the other it does make a difference.
Neither of these bike racks come with security features but you can add them using a Cable Lock # e98891 and Security Strap # TH533.
I have also attached some review videos of both bike racks on other Camrys for you to use as a comparison.
