Saris Trunk Bike Racks Review - 2011 Ford Fusion- Video
Hi everyone, it's Eve Angeline here, at etrailer, and today we'll be taking a look at our Saris Bones EX 2 Bike trunk mounted bike rack, right here on our 2011 Ford Fusion. So, you have your Ford Fusion, and you wanna take your bikes out. Now, while I usually recommend if you can, get a hitch mounted bike rack, while if you don't yet have a hitch on your Ford Fusion or you can't get one, that's where your trunk mounted bike rack like this comes in handy. And since you have a spoiler, or if you have a spoiler on your sedan, you are gonna have a very limited selection of bike racks that can sit around them. So, it's really nice to see that the Saris Bones EX 2 is compatible. So, this is the Saris Bones EX 2, we can also get this as E 3. more
