Best Bike Rack for Ease of Loading Bikes and Installing on Vehicle
Question:
I’ve got two newer aluminum body mountain bikes. I currently have an older swing daddy 4 which is heavy and very cumbersome to install and add bikes. Can you recommend a high quality and reliable rack that’s very easy to install and load bikes on? Thule? Yakima? I’m struggling and all my shops are closed.

The best bike rack for making it very easy to load bikes and to install in your hitch is without a doubt the Thule EasyFold XT 2-Bike Rack # TH903202.
The reason it is so simple to put bikes on is because it comes with an aluminum ramp so you can just walk your bikes on up the ramp and that's it, you're done. It then secures them with easy to use padded clamps and wheel straps so it will take no time at all to get your bikes on the rack.
The EasyFold XT is also simple to load in your hitch because all you have to do to get there is literally roll it there with its integrated handle and wheels so you aren't carrying anything at all - you then pop it in your hitch and turn a knob to tighten it in the hitch. I have added links to a couple video reviews for you to check out as well of the Thule EasyFold XT 2-Bike Rack # TH903202.
