Which Bike Rack Should I Get For My Flat Tow Vehicle?
Question:
Your descriptive material implies it cannot brushed on a car being flat towed. I have a motor home and will be towing either a Hyundia Tuscon or Chevy Equinox and wish to use the Chinook.

Helpful Expert Reply:
You are correct, the Chinook cannot be installed on a flat tow vehicle based on Swagman's testing. There are some great options that will get you what you want. Yakima makes a rack in a bike configuration. The Yakima HoldUp Part # Y02443-2 is similar to the Chinook because it has wheel cradles and also the same type of frame hook. It can hold 4 total bikes.
I have included a video to give you a better idea of what you're getting.
