E-Bike Rack Recommendation for 2008 Toyota Highlander for Trek Verve 3
Question:
What rack do you recommend to carry my Trek Verve+3 ebike. Im a senior so prefer ease to load and offload my e-bike from my 2008 Toyota Highlander.

For e-bikes you have to go with a hitch mounted option as it's only option that has the weight capacity for the heavier e-bikes. So for a rack I would recommend the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 which has the weight capacity needed and is very easy to use but what I really like about is that it has a ramp that pulls out which makes loading and unloading the heavier bike rack much easier. There isn't an easier solution
If your 2008 Toyota Highlander does not have a hitch installed on it you'd also want the part # e98858 and you'd be set.
