Specs:
The Destination platform-style hitch bike rack makes it simple to carry 2 bikes on the rear of your vehicle. This lightweight rack is easy to use, and it features padded frame holders and ratcheting wheel straps. A locking, anti-rattle hitch pin tightens the rack's shank to your hitch receiver to prevent it from rattling around inside the receiver.
Padded, Rotating Holders
The Destination rack uses rotating frame holders to secure your bikes. The rubber padded holders rotate 360 degrees, and move up and down the center mast independently, to accommodate frames of various shapes and sizes. The holders have padded ratcheting straps to secure your bike by their frame.
Ratcheting Wheel Straps
The wheel holders accommodate bicycles with wheelbases up to 48", and ratcheting wheel straps secure the wheels to the bike trays. The straps are padded and can be adjusted along the tray to ensure a perfect fit.
Folding Design
The rack folds up against the back of your vehicle when it's not in use. To raise the rack, just unscrew the knob and pull it out to lift the rack up. Re-insert the knob and tighten it to the rack.
Easy Installation with Locking Hitch Pin
The Destination rack easily installs in your hitch with the included anti-rattle hitch pin. Just slide the shank into your receiver, insert the hitch pin, and then tighten it down with the included tool. The threaded pin also works as an anti-wobble device to eliminate sway and rattle in the receiver. The rack also includes a hitch lock to secure it to your vehicle and deter theft.
A removable adapter sleeve is included so the rack can be converted for use with 1-1/4" hitch receivers. The sleeve attaches to the shank with 2 screws and can be installed or removed quickly.

Lightweight and easy-to-use, this hitch bike rack is an efficient way to get 2 bikes to the trail. Curved wheel trays and adjustable frame clamps fit a wide variety of bikes. Anti-rattle, locking hitch pin reduces rack movement while driving.Outstanding product! I made the mistake of purchasing a similar style rack from a big box sports store and it was flimsy and my bikes fell off. This is very easy to assemble, the rack is lightweight but amazingly sturdy, and a perfect fit (no spacers required) in my hitch. I really like the way the locking strap devices can be moved for a perfect fit. I have an old Trek MB and my wife has a new drop bar cruiser. I have not been able to find a rack that would work, but these fit perfectly after sliding up the wheel straps. I do not keep my rack on the car due to garage space, so sliding it on and off is a must. This is easily done. Unlike other racks with pins, this has a large bolt that is screwed in to hold the rack to the hitch, and a separate lock. The rack does easily fold if you do keep it on the car so you can get into the hatch. I use the rack with the trailer hitch I also bought from e-trailer. And another plus, this rack was $[XX] less than the big box sports store version.
This is a great rack for the price. Lightweight, easy to use. It does take some manipulating for the frame straps on the upright depending on the type of bike frame that you have. I have 2.8" tires on my Trek Roscoe 8 and you can't go much bigger for tire for this rack. It takes a bit of time to get the rack out of the way to be able to use the hatch on your vehicle ( I have a 2020 Ford Escape). I do wish the straps for the tires were a bit longer to accommodate the larger 2.8" tires on the bike. The hitch lock that came with the bike is nice but a little bit of a pain to use as you can't really tell if it is locked or not despite the indicator on the lock. This rack in the fold up position will interfere with your back up camera and cause the annoying constant beep, in the down position without bikes it doesn't not interfere with the back up camera. It is very easy to install as it only weights 20lbs which is FABULOUS. It takes a little bit of time to put together initially out of the box but not rocket science. i do not keep the rack on the vehicle, only use it when I plan on riding. Storage can be an issue as it does not fold away completely flat but you could easily hang on some S hooks in a garage as it's light enough to lift yourself and store away. The red strap that comes with it could have a better retention feature so the strap doesn't slip. All in all for the price this is definitely a rack I would purchase again. I am glad I went with the platform rack vs. hanging rack. Etrailer's customer service is superb and highly recommend them. I even got asked at a red light where I got the rack as he had not been able to find one without having to pay over $700 for some very well known brands
Rack was fairly easy to assemble. Lightweight and well designed. Easy to place in trailer hitch. Easy to secure bikes to mast and tires to trays using the attached zip style straps. Also easy to unload the bikes for a ride or to store for the next adventure. We have tested it out on a couple of drives including hilly back roads and on the highway. This rack is a great improvement over our old hanging style rack that allowed the bikes to clang and the front tires to twist in the wind. We got this rack because a couple of times our bikes almost came off the old rack. Bikes now hardly budge during transport. I am very pleased with this rack and am attaching a few pics of the rack with our bikes on it to help others who are trying to decide. I don't think you can find a better rack for the price and functionality.
Got it today and put it together in less than 30 min. It fits my bikes perfect!! I can’t wait to take it on a long road trip!!
Elaine - 06/06/2021I was looking for a bike rack for the front of my 4Runner....One that would hold the bikes low so my vision is not obscured and without over compromising ground clearance. This is the one. Rugged, light and easy to load bikes. The service and delivery from etrailer was outstanding.
Love this rack, bought it for my 2015 Range Rover Evoque to use for our 2 Boss Cruiser bikes, the bikes fit perfectly and the straps held them in place with no movement, couldn't even tell they were on the back. I didn't get the rack with the tilt feature since I didn't think I was going to leave this on all the time, now I wish I did, but its not a hassle to lay it down when I have to open the lift gate. It came with hitch lock kit which is a great added bonus as well as ratchet straps to secure the bikes even more. I like this style better than hanging the bikes on an arm, its much easier to put them on and the bikes are not dangling, each is in its slot. Great purchase!!!
The rack itself works great on my standard bike. The center strap is to short for my e-bike. When I called customer service I was told I should have purchased a rack for e-bikes. I asked if I could return this rack and upgrade to a rack for e-bikes. I was told “no, I could sell my new rack”. I could not return it towards and exchange for a e-bike rack. Keep in mind this was the next day after my rack arrived in the mail. No store credit, no exchange just a flat No, you can sell it and then purchase a new one all together! I have made it work without the strap that was two short by using a separate strap to hold the e-bike.
The rack works great, no problems whatsoever,very easy to deal with just like in the video. The co. was very professional, walk you through every step. Shipping was right on time, Love this bike rack, Thanks e trailer!
Fred S - 06/22/2021Great bike rack for the price. I purchased this bike rack plus hitch receiver for the total price of what most bike racks alone cost. It mounts to the car very easy and it's pretty light. The bikes strap down tight and don't move during transit. I'm very happy with this purchase.
Easy to assemble, great quality, and lightweight! The straps take a little time to adjust but otherwise they are easy to use.
Extremely happy with the bike rack. I like the weight of it, it’s not heavy and that makes it very eat to handle.
Very easy to assemble. It’s not heavy at all. The middle fasteners adjusts for different frames and sizes.
Rack is made well and looks sturdy. I just received it, so I am not sure about durability and longevity. Assembly was easy (for a girl), the bike does not wobble. I took it for a small ride around the neighborhood and no problems. Looking forward to using it for many years ahead.
This is my first bike rack. I picked the best one. It's super easy installation, light weight and elegant looking. Loved it so much! I would recommend this to everyone.
This was easy to assemble. It is a lot lighter weight and less awkward than my old Yakima but it seems sturdier. I like the way it connects to the receiver, it inspires confidence that it will stay put! I have not yet had occasion to mount the bikes yet. It seems like it will be easier than the Yakima.
Perfect. Lightweight but sturdy. Holds two mountain bikes with ease and very little sway. Great rack for those looking for a Class 1 hitch option!
I got my Hollywood bike rack really quick after ordering ! Putting it together and installing on my trailer hitch was a breeze !!! Love the size , I added 2 reflectors on the back, because when it’s folded up, my car is a dark color and bike rack is black. Super easy to use , thank you
I just received the bike rack. Assembly was pretty easy. When attached to my Tacoma it appears to be sturdy. I have yet to put a bike on it or go for any distance with it but it seems to be as advertised.
With a quick release would excellent, thats why 4 starts. Besides that, great item.
Very nice looking product. Although the pictures in the installation directions were a little hard to interpret, the process went quickly. Very satisfied with the rack. Beats the old "Hang on the back with straps type" by a mile. Well worth the money.
I have ordered fm retailer b4, and was pls with them. So when it was time to look for a bike racket for my son, etrailer was the first place I went to. They had what I was looking for and the price was reasonable!! will continue to use etrailer b4 others.!! Easy to order and shpg was quick and great!!!!
This bike rack is perfect for the price! The instructions for assembling were easy to follow, and I have never assembled anything before in my life. The rack is very durable and easy to use. It is also super lightweight and doesn't rattle. It is basically the best and is half the price of the other popular brands out there. I am super satisfied!
The rack is exactly as advertised, a great value platform bike rack. It’s nice it comes with a ratchet strap and lock still in the value price range. Word of caution for aero carbon frames; you may want to cut up some pool noodles to avoid scratching your frame.
Just received this (a day early) and installed on my Subaru. Test loaded bikes and I am 100% pleased and impressed with quality weight and design! Price was great too in my opinion. I've always received good service and equipment from etrailer. Thank you!
