Yakima RV and Camper Bike Racks Review - 2022 Ford Maverick- Video

Hi, everyone, Aiden here, with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Yakima LongHaul hitch mountain bike rack and seeing how it fits on the back of our 2022 Ford Maverick. Now the LongHaul is a hanging-style bike rack where the bike is gonna hang by the frame, down below these arms and it can accommodate up to four bikes, making it a pretty good option for families or large groups of friends. Each bike can weigh up to 37 1/2 pounds. So for a hanging rack, that's actually pretty solid, but you will run into some issues because it is a hanging rack. Mainly, it's gonna need a bike adapter bar for alternative frame or kids' frame bikes. more

Swagman RV and Camper Bike Racks Review - 2021 Ford F-150- Video

How's it going, everybody Today we are going to be taking a look at the Swagman Escapee Hitch Bike Rack and we're gonna see how it fits on this 2021 Ford F-150. The Escapee is designed to hold two bikes with the platform style rack, which means it's gonna hold them up by these cradles and this tray down below. So our primary point of contact is gonna be this wheel hook in the front and we have one strap down here at the back. So you can use this with your carbon frame or alternative frame bikes because we don't make that frame contact. And we have a 60 pound per bike weight capacity, which means we can support E-bikes, like the one that you see here. And there is also an optional bridge and ramp attachment if you need a little bit of help loading and unloading those heavy bikes. more
