Breakdown of the RockyMounts AfterParty Swing Away 2 Bike Rack - 2016 Ford F-150

Hi, everyone, Aidan here at etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the RockyMounts AfterParty Platform-Style Bike Rack. And we're gonna see how it fits on the back of our 2016 Ford F-150. The AfterParty can carry up to two bikes, and it's gonna be a great option for the F-150, because it's a swing-away bike rack. And what that means is we've got an arm down here that's controlled by this handle, and we can use it to gain full access to our truck bed. Now, this handle tightened up quite a bit, but when you loosen it up, it'll release that arm. more

Hi, everyone, Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Yakima OnRamp LX and we're gonna see how it fits in the back of our 2022 Ford Maverick. Now this is gonna be a platform-style bike rack, which means the bike sits on top of these trays and this one's going to hold the bike by the frame, primarily. These cradles will be able to move up and down this mast, rotate around 360 degrees and adapt to meet your frame where it's at. So a good option for alternative frames and there's gonna be some secondary points of contact down on each wheel with these straps pulling down at a 45 degree angle against these wheel chocks, which helps give us a really solid hold on the bike. This rack does have a tilting feature. more

Swagman E-Spec 2-Electric Bike Platform Rack Review - 2023 Ford F-150- Video

Swagman E-Spec 2-Electric Bike Platform Rack Review - 2023 Ford F-150

How's it going neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the Swagman Espec on our 2023, Ford F-150. Going with a hitch mounted bike carrier is a great way to bring your bikes along with you when you're not towing with your hitch and you still need the space in your bed. It's a good way also to keep your bike stable and secure when you're on the road versus just loading it in the back of your truck, also. The Espec is a platform style bike carrier that is frame mounted. So essentially what that is, you're gonna have a hook that makes contact with your frame and your front and rear wheel are gonna strap into cradles. If you have a carbon fiber frame bike or a nice paint job or maybe even an unconventional frame, this wouldn't be the best option for you. more

And what's also great about that is 80 pounds is a lot of weight, so compared to other e-bike carriers it's gonna outperform most of them. Since it is able to accommodate 80 pounds per bike, it's also gonna be a little bit more difficult to maneuver around but it's also gonna have three tie-down points, two in the tires, and then one on our main frame. more

It's going to be a little bit goofy to push down, but overall, once you get it, it's much easier to work with this than some others, like the Inno Tire Hold, which has it down here, so you have to hold onto the arms as you push forward and press the button at the same time. more

How's it going Ethan with etrailer here to show you the NV Base 2.0 on the 2020 Ford Escape. So with the NV Base, you have the wheel hook here as your primary point of contact and the strap in the back as your secondary point, so there's no contact with the frame at all, which is great for carbon bikes or alternative frame bikes. So your wheel base here will support you from anywhere up to 50 inches, and the weight capacity is about 60 pounds per bike, so it'll support most of your larger mountain bikes and maybe even some e-bikes. So if you come down here, you can see this pedal that allows you to tilt this back, and that gives you a little bit more room to see if you can't get enough clearance to open your hatch. So as you can see here, plenty of room, no real troubles with that. They go right back down, and then you can come right back around to the front, lift this guy up until you hear a click, and then you should be nice and secure and ready to go. more

Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today on our 2022 Ford Escape, we're gonna be checking out the Thule Hitching Post Pro Hitch-Mounted Bike Rack.
