Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Toyota Highlander- Video
Rob: Hey everybody, Rob here etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a look at the Thule Helium Two Bike Platform Rack on our 2019 Toyota Highlander. Now, I really liked this rack mainly because of how it's designed. It's going to have two wheel hoops so there's no frame contact. So, it's extremely good for those carbon bikes where you don't want that frame contact, you don't want to have anything scratching the paint job or anything like that.But the other thing I like about it is, is once you get two bikes on here a lot of times we end up with interference. You can see the handlebars here are already coming into the space where this second bike trailers but the nice part about it is we have our two wheel hoops, we can loosen them up. more

Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Toyota Highlander TH9056- Video
Rob: Hey everybody. Rob here at etrailer.com. Today, we'll be taking a look at the Thule Camber 4 hanging style bike rack on our 2019 Toyota Highlander. Now, our Camber's going to allow us to take up to four bikes with us to, and from the trail. And in my opinion, I prefer a bike rack that attaches to the hitch rather than a trunk mount or a roof mount rack. Mainly because I'm a little bit on the shorter side and I don't really like the idea of lifting my bike up over the head and potentially scratching the Highlander. more

Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Toyota Highlander TS02B- Video
Hi, there, Highlander owners. Today on our 2019 Toyota Highlander, we're going to be taking a look at Kuat's transfer platform bike rack. This is available in either a two- or three-bike rack version, in either black or gray.This bike rack is a platform-style bike rack, which is going to be ideal, particularly if you have carbon fiber bikes, due to the way it mounts to the rack. This is going to hold it in place with the hook here in the front, clamping your front tire down inside the cradle, and then the smaller cradle here in the back holds your rear tire using the cam buckle strap.The step-through design of this bike rack makes it easier to remove your bike. Once you've got the first bike rack off, if you're only carrying the one, you can just move this arm out of the way and you can get right up in there inside of the bike rack to more easily pick up your bike and set it aside. Hop on it at the trail. more

Rhino Rack Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Toyota Highlander- Video
Hi there, Highlander owners! Today, on our 2019 Toyota Highlander, we're going to be taking a look at Rhino-Rack's hanging style two-bike rack.This bike rack will hold your bike in place using the frame. There are three points of contact that holds it in place. There's two on top for your top beam, and then one for the vertical beam here that will keep it from swaying back and forth, to prevent bike-to-bike contact as well as bike-to-rack contact.It features grooved cradles, which gives you a channel for your brake cables to sit down in-between. So, that way, when you're going down the road, your cables aren't scratching up the bottom of your frame.When you're ready to remove your bike, simply pull down on the rubber straps, and release them from the hooks. Then you can pick your bike up, pull it off, and you're ready to hit the trail.You'll want to keep in mind that when your bike rack is installed on your vehicle it is going to add to the length of your vehicle. This is important to remember when you pull into your garage, before you shut the door, or if you're in a parking lot where you have any tight maneuvers you need to make.From the edge of our rear bumper to the furthest point, it's going to be about 26 inches; from the ground to the closest point, it's going to be about 17 inches; and the closest point of our rack to our rear bumper is going to be here, at about seven inches. more

Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Toyota Highlander TH9042PRO- Video
Ryan: How's it going Ryan here at etrailer.com. Today on our 2019 Toyota Highlander, we're going to be taking a look at the Thule Helium Pro two bike rack. Now, my favorite thing about this rack is that it's going to be made from aluminum. So it's going to be incredibly lightweight and easy to maneuver. We're not going to have to worry about any rust or corrosion issues either. And since it is fairly compact, if we're not using it, we're able to store it inside of our car without any issues. more
