Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack Review - 2023 GMC Yukon XL- Video
Hey, it's Ethan here with Etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Kuat Transfer Hitch bike rack and how it fits on our 2023 GMC Yukon XL. So the transfer is a two-bike platform style bike rack. It's gonna make primary contact with our bike right here on the front wheel with this wheel hook with an additional point on the back so there's no frame contact. In the event that you wanted to transport your carbon frame bikes, you could do that if you have a really aggressive alternative style frame bike you could also use that. So that's nice that it has that feature and it is capable of supporting up to 60 pounds. more

Hey, it's Ethan here at etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Thule Hitching Post Pro and how it fits on the back of our 2023 GMC Yukon XL. The Hitching Post Pro is a four bike hanging style bike rack. It's going to hold our bike primarily by the frame using these two cradles and the anti-sway cradle right here. Because it does make primary contact by the frame, we don't recommend using this bike rack with something like a carbon frame bike because it could potentially damage that while it's driving. Additionally, if you have a woman's alternative or any sort of kid's bike, you might have to pick up a bike adapter bar to make that work. more

Swagman XC2 2 Bike Rack Review - 2023 GMC Yukon XL- Video

This is a pretty entry level bike rack so it doesn't have some of the features that some more premium might offer like the ability to tilt away with the bike loaded. So, if we wanna get into the hatch of our vehicle we are gonna have to get the bike off. more

It's one of the more entry level bikes that have a couple of features like tilting it away and folding it up and it still offers that weight capacity of 45 pounds, which is nice. Two tilted away, you have to reach back here to this lever so if you do have both bikes loaded up it might be a little bit tricky to get to, but you released that the bike rack tilts and we found that we get plenty of clearance to get into the back of our vehicle From there. more
