Roof Rack and Bike Rack Recommendations for Carrying More than 2 Bikes with 2007 Lexus IS 250  

Question:

Hi, I have a 2007 Lexus IS 250 and currently use a Swagman XP type rack with a 1-1/4 inch hitch. I have never had any problems putting 3 bikes on it. I now have to put 4 bikes on a rack and was thinking of getting the Swagman XP4. Would you use that rack with 4 bikes for this car with this hitch? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Expert Reply:

The problem is that your hitch is Class I and you really can't carry more than 2 bikes with it otherwise you'll put undue stress on the hitch.

To carry more than 2 bikes the only safe solution we have would be a roof rack like the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK241 so that you can carry bike racks like the MountainTrail # RBC035.
