Hi, everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we have the Hollywood Racks Destination 4 bike platform rack. We're gonna take a look at how it fits on our 2020 Subaru Forester. The Destination 4 is one of my favorite bike racks to recommend to people just because it is compact, it's lightweight, it works really well, and it's at a great price point. So there's a lot of things that this bike rack has going for it, and the versatility for different types of bikes is awesome too. But it also has its downsides, like it doesn't tilt away. So if you do need to open up the hatch on your Forester, you are gonna have to remove your bike and lower that mast in order to lift that door up. more

Hollywood Racks Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Nissan Murano- Video
Hi Matt with etrailer. Today we're gonna be talking about our Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack on our 2021 Nissan Murano. Now this is gonna be a great option for you if you're looking for kinda like a mid-range bike rack that's gonna be able to accommodate really heavy e-bikes. It's gonna be able to handle at most 80 pounds per bike, holding up the two of them, and we're gonna have three points of contact and we're gonna have one strap on each tire that sits in these cradles, and we're gonna have this ratcheting hook that's padded and the center making contact with our frame. Since we are making contact with the frame, I wouldn't recommend using any carbon frame bikes on it or even some alternative frame bikes on it. So we're still gonna have our tilt away feature and to do that, it's gonna be a little bit of a process, but we're gonna actually have to remove this safety clip and pull this pin out, you might have to lift up on the rack just a little bit, then when I have to pull this other pin and let it fall back, and sometimes you might have to jostle that extra pin in the back, but sometimes it'll just fall past that and unlatch for you. more

Because it doesn't make any sort of frame contact, it uses this dual wheel mount design where these arms will ratchet over both tires, which make it very quick and easy to load and unload, again while keeping that frame safe. Now the way it does this is with the integrated piston, so those arms will open up at the press of a button. So one handed operation is very easy with this and one of the other things that sets the Pro X apart is the built-in taillights. more
