What is the Best Bike Rack for a Step-Thru Bike and a Womens Bike on a 2016 Toyota Highlander?  

Question:

I have a 2016 Toyota Highlander..I will install a 2inch Hitch mount. I have 2- bikes to haul safely. They are a Sixthreezero EvryJourney Step Thru at 37.5 Lbs., and a Schwinn Ladies Bike. I like the rack you are selling for 179.00 is it the correct one for these bikes?

I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # HLY94FR has a per-bike weight capacity of 35 pounds. Unfortunately, it will not be safe to transport a 37.5 pound bike.

For a comparable solution, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # HR200Z. The Trail Rider has a maximum per-bike capacity of 45 pounds. In addition, another great feature is that the Trail Rider includes hitch and bike locks that deter theft of your investment. In order to mount your step-through and ladies bike, you will need two Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes # HRBA-PRO. The adapter bar will attach to your bike in order for you to have a straight horizonal plane to attach to the Trail Rider.

If you need a hitch receiver recommendation for your 2016 Toyota Highlander, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13200. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver will accommodate the Trail Rider and comes with all hardware included for a bolt-on installation.
