How to Use Cargo Box and Bike Rack At Back of Vehicle

Question:

I have a stowaway2 cargo carrier. I would also like to have a bike rack for 2 bikes. Could you please recommend a product which would be compatible? Thank you,

In order to add a bike rack to your StowAway2 cargo carrier you'll need to use the specialized bike rack that's designed for that system, but it looks like it does involve you having to remove the box itself and installing the bike rack in it's place.

If your idea is to utilize a cargo box at the same time as a 2 bike rack then the only option I know of on the market that meets this criteria is the Yakima EXO Swing Away 2 Bike Rack w/ Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y34ZR. One of the best things about the EXO system is how versatile the whole system can be since you're able to remove different components and install other ones (like another cargo box, basket, or even ski carrier) instead.

Attached is a review video of the box/bike rack setup for your reference!
