RockyMounts Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Jeep Wrangler- Video
Hey everybody, Cooper here at etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Rockymounts Afterparty on our 2021 Jeep Wrangler. Now to get in directly why we want this for the Jeep Wrangler and why this is such a good recommendation is the Rockymounts Afterparty actually comes with a swing away function. We found that most of our bike racks that have a tilt don't have enough an aggressive enough tilt to really open up on the hatch. So this swing way function is essentially going to help us correct that. Down here at the bottom of the rack, we do have this knob that when we loosen up, we are going to be able to pull a pin that is on the passenger side and go ahead and pull this away while also pivoting it. more

Yakima Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Jeep Wrangler- Video
Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we have the Yakima FullTilt five bike hanging rack and we'll take a look at how it fits our 2021 Jeep Wrangler. So the Yakima FullTilt is the bike rack I would get if I had to get a hanging rack but I wanted one of the best ones. This is what I would get. It does have a lot of premium features that make it easier for you to load the bikes up, secure the bikes. And the downside though, is that even though it tilts away like its name says, with the Jeep Wrangler not really any hanging bike can tilt back far enough for you to reasonably open up that door. So with that in mind, if you wanted full door access, I'd recommend getting something like a hitch extender or a swing away hitch extender. more

Yakima RidgeBack Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Jeep Wrangler- Video
Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer. And today I have the Yakima RidgeBack four bike hanging rack and we'll take a look at how it fits our 2021 Jeep Wrangler. So the RidgeBack is a tried and true bike rack. It's been around for a while. It does have the ability to carry up to five bikes if you get the five bike version. So if I wanted a hanging rack and I wanted to carry around a lot of bikes more than I could with a platform rack, but I also didn't wanna take up as much space as a platform rack would, this would be one of my options. more

Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Jeep Wrangler- Video
Hello everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer and today I have the Thule T2 Pro XTR two-bike platform rack and we'll take a look at how it fits our 2021 Jeep Wrangler. So the T2 Pro XTR, other than having a long name, does have some premium features that help out with carrying your bikes safely and securely. You have a good weight capacity of 60 pounds per bike, but I am using this bike rack with a hitch extender and that's because when we have that spare tire on, we have it folded up, it gets a little too close and we're not getting as good of a fit which is why we have an extender to push this out. Most of your bike racks with a Jeep Wrangler with a spare tire are going to need some kind of hitch extender if you want full use out of them. But having that extender has its downsides as well, like less hitch tongue weight capacity and it has a bit more movement if you don't get one with an anti-rattle feature. So with that in mind, let's focus on the features of the T2 Pro XTR. more

Saris Freedom Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Jeep Wrangler- Video
Hi, everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today, I have the Saris Freedom 2-Bike Platform Rack, we'll take a look at how it fits our 2021 Jeep Wrangler. So the Saris Freedom is actually a really good fit with the Wrangler, because the spares tire limits the options for bike racks if you do not wanna use a hitch extender. So this sits pretty far back past its shank, which gives us that clearance to carry those two bikes. And if you wanna compare this with some other racks, well, this is gonna be on the still more affordable side while having a good weight capacity for electric bikes and some versatility for different sized and shaped bikes. So if you have say a large mountain bike and maybe a smaller road bike, this actually will work even better for you compared to the Saris SuperClamp, because this can go wherever while the SuperClamp wheel mounts are limited to each other. Now, focusing here on our Jeep, while we do have that clearance to add the bike on, we don't have as much clearance for things like tilting it away or opening up the door. more

Hollywood Racks Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Jeep Wrangler- Video
Hey everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer and today I have the Hollywood Racks Destination E two bike platform rack for your electric bikes. And we'll take a look at how it fits our 2021 Jeep Wrangler. So the Destination E is really designed for electric bikes where you have an included ramp. Although the ramp's not attached to the rack you gotta keep it inside your vehicle and it has other features like adjustability for different types of frames. The downside though is that with how it fits on the Wrangler, it does not tilt down anywhere close to where you can open up the door. So the issue isn't the tilt, the issue is where this mast sits. more

Thule Hitching Post Pro Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Jeep Wrangler- Video
Hi, everyone. Aiden here with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Thule Hitching Post Pro hitch-mounted bike rack and seeing how it fits on the back of our 2021 Jeep Wrangler. It is gonna be a hanging style bike rack, capable of carrying up to four bikes and up to 35 pounds each, so a pretty good amount for most of our mountain bikes, road bikes. Just be mindful of it whenever you're loading it up that you don't exceed that. And a couple other limitations with it, because of the hanging rack and it makes contact with the frame of our bike, it's not gonna be the best fit for carbon frame bikes. more

Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Jeep Wrangler- Video
Hi everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Kuat NV 2.0 platform style bike rack and seeing how it fits on the back of our 2020 21, excuse me, Jeep Wrangler. Now one thing I wanna point out right out of the gate is that we are using this with a hitch extender. The bike rack just wasn't working without the hitch extender so what that is, it's just an extra piece that attaches in your hitch and extends it further from the vehicle. You can see it right down there. We're using the etrailer one right now and we're using about an eight inch extension. more

Hollywood Racks Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Jeep Wrangler HR4000- Video
Hi everyone, Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Hollywood Rack's Destination four-bike rack and seeing how it fits on the back of our 2021 Jeep Wrangler. Now this is gonna be a platform-style bike rack, holding the bike by our frame, using this cradle with a strap around it, and then two additional wheel straps down to the bottom that pull the bike down and in. That method of holding the bike actually helps get a really solid hold on the rack, which is great. This is one of my favorite bike racks to recommend for people getting into biking and looking for their first bike rack, especially if they need something for their family, because this does accommodate kids' bikes exceptionally well. It works with alternative frames very well, too, because this cradle slides up and down the mast independently from each other and rotates 360 degrees to accommodate for those alternative frames. more

Hollywood Racks Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Jeep Wrangler HLY94FR- Video
Hi everyone. Aiden here at the trailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Hollywood Racks Destination Two Bike Rack and seeing how it fits on the back of our 2021 Jeep Wrangler. Now this is gonna be a platform style bike rack and in my opinion, one of the best entry level options into the world of platform style bike racks that we offer. Great, because it's a good entry level price point, it's gonna be affordable for a lot of people but also it packs a lot of value. I think of the ones in its category it's going to be probably one of the easiest to use and very accommodating because it works great with alternative frame bikes and kids bikes and it has a 35 pound weight capacity. more

Kuat Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2021 Jeep Wrangler BA22B- Video
Hi, everyone. Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Kuat NV 2.0 Base. This is gonna be a platform-style bike rack that mounts up in our 2" x 2" receiver tube and we're gonna be seeing how it fits on our 2021 Jeep Wrangler. That's gonna be a really solid option for a more premium option of a bike rack, but still kind of in that range where it's pretty affordable for what it is. One of my personal favorites, just because it's simple, it's smooth and it works with a wide range of bikes. more
