Recommended Swing Away Hitch Mounted Bike Rack for 4 Bikes

Question:

Hi. I would like to purchase a swing away hitch bike rack for a Toyota 4runner. I was curious what bikes would fit on the rack. I have a Titus RacerX full suspension bike. My wife has a hard tail mountain bike. Also, my kid has a 20-inch Islabike and we both have 20-inch wheel BMX bikes. Which rack would you recommend for these bikes? We also need the capacity to put 4 bikes on there as well. Thanks

For your Toyota 4Runner, I recommend the Yakima FullSwing 4 Bike Rack - 2" Hitches - Swinging # Y02465. This rack is easy to install and will maneuver well to give you full access to the cargo area of your 4Runner. It comes with the hitch lock and integrated cable lock for your bikes.

To help carry the bikes level, I recommend the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's, Children's, and Alternative Frame Bikes # 64005. This is a great adapter at a really good price point comparatively. It creates a top frame tube by connecting between the seat post and the handlebars. It will increase your ground clearance and give you safe and level transport of your bikes. I've attached a video to assist.

Let me know if you have further questions.
