Saris Freedom Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2015 Chevrolet Equinox- Video
Today on our 2015 Chevrolet Equinox, we're taking a look at the Saris Freedom. This is a platform style folding and tilting forward bike rack. They designed it for use with two inch hitches. The part number for it is S-A-4-4-1-4-B. Now, first and foremost, a really cool thing about the rack, even with bikes loaded, we're going to be able to tilt this right out and away from our car. Simply pull the safety pin down there at the bottom and then we'll push the grey lever here in the rear and allow that to tilt right down. It's interesting to note and good to note that it's not going to make contact with the ground when you're setting on a level surface, so we'll get full extension of that rack until it's lowered position. Looks like then we'll have all the room we need to get our rear hatch door open here. more
