Best 4-Bike Rack that Allows Rear Trunk Area Access with Bikes Loaded
Question:
Hello, We have a bike rack but are sick of having to unload all 4 bikes to get into the trunk. Whats the best 4-Bike rack for my 2013 Ford Explorer with a 2inch hitch that will allow me to open my hatchback trunk to unload luggage without unloading the bikes, that also folds up when bikes are removed? Thank you

Expert Reply:
The best 4-bike rack for rear trunk area access is the Thule Apex Swing XT part # TH9027XT as it allows you to fully swing the bikes out and away from the rear of the vehicle to allow you to open the rear hatch. I attached a picture of the rack installed on a similar SUV with the rack swung out to show you what type of access you'd get as well as a review video for more info as well.
