Best Hitch Bike Rack For A 2015 Toyota Sienna
Question:
I am trying to find the best option for carrying two bikes, and allowing easy access to the rear hatch. The hanging racks are great in terms of weight and limited extension off of the back of the vehicle. But it appears that this type will not support the tilt away option. The swing away would work, but I would like to keep the price under $500. The Kuat Transfer might work, but I wonder if you know if it will definitely work on the Sienna. I saw a video on the sight about a Thule rack on a Sienna, and it did not tilt away far enough to permit the hatch to open. Thanks much

I would definitely go with the Kuat Transfer # KU84FR. It's a great rack and it cleared my 2001 Tahoe rear hatch which is around the same size at your 2015 Toyota Sienna hatch. The main thing that causes hatch contact is the bikes handlebars. You need to put the shortest handlebars on the closest cradle towards your vehicle. You can also add one bike to the end of this rack # KU57FR to make a two bike configuration.
