Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2017 Chrysler Pacifica

Hey, everybody, Jared at etrailer.com. Today I wanna look at the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 two-bike rack system, here in our 2017 Chrysler Pacifica. Now this is a premium-featured bike rack and it will allow you bikes up to 40 pounds, so most of your decent size bikes. It is wheel mounted so you can get your carbon-frame bikes to the trail. A nice feature of this bike rack is it does have a decent tilt-away feature. So if you hold on to the frame, pull this lever back, and now I push it down, get that out of the way. more

Softride Element-Parallelogram Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2017 Chrysler Pacifica

Today in our 2017 Chrysler Pacifica, we're going to be test-fitting the Softride Element Parallelogram Tilting Bike Rack for inch and a quarter and two-inch hitches, part number SR26248. We already have our bike installed on our rack. Let's go ahead and take a closer look and show off some of the features. The most prominent feature of this bike rack is the fact that this can actually tilt away from the vehicle with all four bikes still attached, which is pretty unique for a hanging-style bike rack. To do that, you come on the passenger side here at the mast, pull out the black T-handle, let it tilt away, and now we have full access to our rear hatch to get what we need, and plenty of space on either side to do so. We'll just push it back up into its original position until you hear a click like that. Some of the other features we have here, there are two reflective surfaces on the end here, as well as two points to attach any cable lock that you might want, to secure your bikes to the rack. The cradles are adjustable and have grooves on the side here so that your cables and things like that will actually go through those instead of being smashed by the frame. more

Thule  Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2017 Chrysler Pacifica

Today on our 2017 Chrysler Pacifica, we're going to be test-fitting the Thule Vertex swing-out bike rack, part number TH9031XT. We already have a bike installed on the rack. Let's go take a closer look and show off some of the features. The first and most prominent feature is the fact that this bike rack can swing out away from the vehicle so you can gain rear hatch access without having to take the bikes off, which is pretty unique for a hanging-style bike rack. To do that, we'll first loosen up this knob at the rear, take it out all the way, lift up on this T-handle here, and it will start to swing out. Once you get to about the 90-degree portion of it, turn it in, and you hear a little click, and then just simply push it the rest of the way. First, we'll have to remove this T-handle here in the center, and then re-insert it here. Now we have full access to our rear hatch to do what we need and plenty of space to do so. more
