4 Bike Rack That Can Tilt To Allow Full Trunk Access On 2015 GMC Yukon

Question:

I have a 2015 GMC DENALI YUKON XL. My issue is being able to have full access to my cargo area with all 4 bikes loaded. I see it tilts up when empty. Does it tilt opposite to allow access when fully loaded with bikes?

I have a solution for you, but the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # HR4000 unfortunately does not have the ability to tilt back.

I would look into the Malone Runway Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # MAL82VR. This is definitely the most affordable option that will allow you to tilt the bike rack back while 4 bikes are loaded. We have not tested this on a 2015 GMC Yukon so I cannot say for sure if it will give you full access to the cargo area, but it should since it allowed full trunk access on a RAV4 as seen in the attached photo. One thing to keep in mind is that it will be difficult to tilt the bike rack back up when 4 bikes are loaded and you may need an extra set of hands to do so.

Another option, which I think would be easier if you don't mind the extra cost, is the Thule Apex Swing XT Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Swinging # TH9027XT. Now, this isn't exactly a tilting bike rack, but it does have a really nice swing-away feature which would be sure to give you full access to the trunk on your Yukon. I attached a couple demonstration videos for you to check out regarding the Malone and Thule 4-bike carriers for 2" receivers.
