Thule Hitching Post Pro Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2019 Chrysler Pacifica

Hi everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Thule Hitching Post Pro and seeing how it fits on our 2019 Chrysler Pacifica. This is gonna be a hanging style bike rack that holds the bike by the frame hanging below the rest of the rack. Two points of contact up top are gonna keep it in place with the cradles and rubber straps. And then we've got a third one around the seat post here limiting our side to side movement as our anti-sway cradle. Now with the hanging style bike rack there are gonna be some limitations. more

Hi, everyone. Aiden here with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Hollywood Rack's Destination 2 bike rack, and seeing how it fits in the back of our 2019 Chrysler Pacifica. This is gonna be a platform style bike rack, and a really good entry level platform rack in my opinion. This one's going to get you started carrying a good range of different styles of bikes. Really, we wanna avoid carbon frame bikes because it does make frame contact with the bike, but alternative frame, and kids' bikes are gonna work really well for this rack. more

This is going to be a hanging style bike rack, holding the bike by the frame and letting the rest of the rack, or the bike hang down below the rack. There's two main points of contact holding it in place, these two straps on the top holding it down into the cradles, and the third one on the side here as an anti-sway cradle just to help limit the side to side movement and bike to bike contact. They do make a five-bike version of this that has a slightly boosted weight capacity. more

Swagman Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2022 Chrysler Pacifica

How's it going It's Ethan here with etrailer. Right now we're gonna be taking a look at the Swagman CURRENT hitch bike rack and how it fits on our 2022 Chrysler Pacifica. It's going to be designed specifically for your e-bike usages so it's gonna be a platform rack capable of supporting two bikes up to 60 pounds a piece. It's going to hold onto our bike primarily with these frame hooks here in the middle as well as one strap on either tire, front and back. So if you do wanna mix and match and use this with your carbon frame bikes we'd recommend against it because it is putting that down force on your frame, could potentially damage it while you're driving. But if you have an alternative frame style they do go all the way up and down the center mass so they should be able to accommodate that pretty well. more

It has a weight capacity of 60 pounds per bike, and it's gonna hold onto our bike primarily with this front wheel mount here and one additional strap down at the bottom.

This is going to be a platform style bike rack a very good entry level way for you to get up to four bikes up to 35 pounds a piece where you need 'em to go. It's gonna hold onto our bike primarily with these rotated padded clamps on our center mast here as well as one strap on the back and one strap on the front. So we do make frame contact although it's not pushing directly down. Still wouldn't recommend using carbon frame bikes just 'cause it does still have that potential to damage frame while you're driving. more

Hey, it Ethan in here at etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Curt Premium hitch bike rack, how it fits on our 2022 Chrysler Pacifica. It's going to be a four-bike hanging-style bike rack which means it's gonna hold the bike primarily from the top tube here and let the rest of the bike hang down. It's gonna be able to support 180 pounds total, four bikes, it's got this taper at the end which should help you accommodate some kids' bikes, but if you do have a carbon frame bike we wouldn't recommend using something like this just cuz it is primarily held by the frame, could potentially take damage while you're driving. Alternative frame bikes you might have to pick up a bike adapter bar. The taper at the end should help you not need that for kids bikes as much, but still a chance you might have to pick one up kind of how hanging-style racks are. more

There's a couple of features I want to go over, but one is just the fact that we do have three tied on points per bike, one being a anti sway cradle, so whenever we're starting or stopping it's going to help this bike from either hitting a center mast or just clanking into each other.So we can go ahead and take this bike off the rack.

Thule Apex 4 Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2007 Chrysler Pacifica

Today on our 2008 Chrysler Pacifica well be test fitting the Thule Apex four-bike carrier part number TH9025. Now to begin our test fit well slide our bike rack shank into the hitch and well make sure that our integrated locking hitch pin is pulled out. As the pin clears the hitch collar and allow it to fall into the hitch pinhole itself. With that done we can then move to the anti-rattle knob where we will tighten it down securing our bike rack to the vehicle. Now well go ahead and give you a few measurements. Our ground clearance at the bike rack is ten inches and from the closest point of bike rack, which is the anti-rattle knob to the back of the vehicle, is three inches. more
