Thule Hitching Post Pro Hitch Bike Rack Review - 2016 Toyota RAV4- Video
Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today, we have a 2016 Toyota RAV4. And we're gonna be checking out the Thule Hitching Post Pro. One of the big questions that we do get asked a lot in regards to hitch mounted bike racks, is if you're still gonna be able to have access to the back of your SUV. This one does fold down out of the way and allows us to do that. If you come here to this pen and clip, we can simply remove it. more

Thule Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2016 Toyota RAV4- Video
Ryan: Hey everybody, Ryan here at Etrailer. Today on our 2016 Toyota RAV4, we're going to be taking a look at the Thule Helium platform style bike rack. So today we're looking at the rack that can hold up to a total of two bikes. However, there's also a one bike version available, as well. So one of the main things that I really like about this rack, and what really separates it is the way it's going to secure your bike. So we're going to have two wheel hooks, one for each tire, and that's something you don't always see, a lot of times it's just one wheel hook and a small little strap, or something there at the back.This one would give me a little more peace of mind, especially with an expensive bike, knowing that it's really secure. more

Yakima SwingDaddy Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2016 Toyota RAV4- Video
Today on our 2016 Toyota RAV4 we're going to be test-fitting the Yakima SwingDaddy 4 bike rack, part number Y02464. We already have a bike installed on the rack. Let's go ahead and take a closer look and show off some of the features. The first and most prominent feature of this bike rack is the fact that it can swing away from the vehicle so you can gain rear hatch access with the bike still on the rack, which is pretty unique for a hanging style bike rack. To do that, we'll come to the back here and loosen up this knob, like so. Coming up to the front we'll pull up on the tab here, which will release it, then pull it out to about this position here and swing it around until you hear that 'click' and push it the rest of the way. more

Now, it is padded so once you install your bike, it won't get scratched up. We also have two wheel wells on either side which are adjustable along the arms of the rack. more
