Specs:
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 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.

This easy-to-use hitch bike rack is an efficient way to get 4 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.This feels like a good quality rack. After assembling it, I tested it with 2 of our kids bikes and they clipped in perfectly. I am definitely looking forward to using this instead of tying them all down together on the camper backpack rack. Assembly was a breeze and I was even able to hang it on the garage wall to get it out of the way.
Bill M - 03/15/2022Ok so I I was going to buy a safari rack which ended up being about $100 more once you tacked on taxes and shipping from another website. This was on sale and had really good reviews. I bought this and have used it long enough to leave an honest review. It’s a really good rack, quality built, and If anything should break on the rack etrailer has all the replacement parts for very cheap prices. I have used this racks for shuttle duties and held 4 big enduros bikes several times. You don’t need to use the extra red straps sent with the rack for the bikes to be very secure. As someone stated before in the reviews long wheelbase bikes like size L or XL frame enduro or DH bikes might only be able to strap one wheel and frame attachment (the one wheel will be too long to get a good strap on), but all you need to do is drill a hole and move the clamp outboard about 2” and you’ll be good as gold. This rack is awesome and was a heck of a deal. Would recommend and buy again if I ever needed 2 racks?
Also not to mention (not that I really care), but the rack was packaged really nice and didn’t come all damaged from shipping, it was really nicely formed foam that was glued in place and not just some hack job some guy tossed in a box. 10/10 !
Used it twice so far, it meets my expectations based on other reviews. It's easy to load the bikes (8 minutes or so for 4 bikes) and to move up or down. Glad I bought this "lighter" platform rack rather than the swagman because while it's not hard to get into the hitch, neither is it "light". Anything heavier would definitely be a pain. Hopefully straps etc are durable over the long haul. No problem getting 2 adult and 2 kids bikes on. Glad I went with a platform rack over a bar. My sister has the bar rack and says it's impossible to get 4 bikes on.
sunil h - 06/11/2021This bike rack is a true bargain for what you get. It is light weight, sturdy, and takes my adult 29er mtb’s all the way to my six year olds little bike without any problems. I hope it stands the test of time. For now I am very pleased with this purchase. The family and I will be able to go on some sweet adventures with this rack! Thanks etrailer for offering affordable yet quality gear.
Cody - 09/30/2022Spent months debating what rack to get, really thinking I wanted a big name rack which could hold 2 bikes or expand to 4. So happy I bought this rack for under $[XX] as it will be perfect for my needs and saved me a ton of money. It is very sturdy but also light enough to easily be handled by one person. We have 3 hybrid type bikes and one 29er mountain bike and all four of us ride together only a handful of times per year. I wasn't too concerned about not being able to tilt the rack down with bikes on. A locking hitch pin is included, there is MINIMAL movement of the rack in the hitch, and I barely know the bikes are back there when driving (2020 Honda Pilot). My old hanging style rack would bounce, sway and always gave me an uneasy feeling. This is easy to load (4 bikes in 5-6 minutes) and there is ZERO bike to bike contact. Service from trailer is always top notch; unfortunately it too close to two months to get it but this is a supply chain issue and not an trailer issue (Hollywood Racks own website just says SOLD OUT).
I worry sometimes when I buy one of the lowest cost options but I'm very pleased with this rack after first use. Feels very sturdy, was easy to put together, they included a hitch lock, and the ratchet straps feel like the hold my bikes on very securely. They ship with a couple extra ratchet straps which is a nice touch. The only feature that could be improved (and it's probably available on more premium racks) is a quicker way to raise and lower the rack. It's probably because of the price point but you have to unscrew a bold with a knob(very easy) and screw it back in the other position, then lock it with a hitch pin. I bet the more expensive units have a quick up/down latch.
The rack was back ordered and late. I don't fault etrailer, everything has been back ordered and late recently. etrailer, to their credit was very communicative throughout the delay.
Well, after 1 year of owning this bike rack, I can say it is a fantastic piece of equipment. Super easy install out of the delivery box. I have taken it on, at least, a dozen outings. It's durable and strong. My ebikes do not shake during the drive anywhere on this rack. Only issue is that the screws used to upright the center stands are now bent due to all the forces from transportation. In my opinion, the screws used should be larger. However, with some creative negotiation, I can still get the center stands to be upright with the bent screws and still use the rack. I will likely need to replace those screws at some point though. Overall, not much of a big deal. I love this rack and would definitely recommend it!
Jenny N - 08/13/2022Sturdy, affordable and good ground clearance. Easily fits large size mountain bikes. Quick assembly and not that heavy at all. Folds up nicely. Only used it twice so far but very happy with this product.
Outstanding product! I used to have a hanging rack. This platform rack is 10 times easier to load. The bikes don’t touch each other when loaded, and they remain solid throughout transportation. Can’t believe I put up with my other rack for several years.... I guess I needed to “get my money’s worth” out of it. We have two adult bikes and two kid’s bikes. With the design of this rack, it would easily handle 4 adult bikes, or 4 kid’s bikes for that matter. I will definitely be recommending this product to people I know.
Don't be fooled by the price. This is a about a third of the price of a Thule or Kuat but does almost everything they do. Solid construction, well designed. Bikes are easy to mount and very stable. Everything you need is on the mount, except the main hitch mount bolt which has to be tightened with a wrench. The two included straps provide extra peace of mind. Does not bend away for opening hatch but I can live with that. Really happy with purchase.
Vinny - 07/15/2022After going back and fourth on what rack to choose I finally settled with the destination rack. It seemed like there was more people with buyers remorse on the higher end units. I almost pulled the trigger on the Saris superclamp I like that it's made in Wisconsin and also its low profile design. I read one to many bad reviews on wheel holders breaking. My rack arrived very quickly. Setup was painless and required minimal time. Two of the knobs for straps were broken, not sure how this happened. A quick email to etrailer and I was back in business repair parts were sent out strait away with no fuss. The rack is really nice, seems plenty sturdy and is lightweight at the same time. I found a location in my garage I was able to mount it on the wall. Overall etrailer and Hollywood racks treated me right and I recommend them.
The Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" hitches has been excellent. Even better was etrailer.com's customer service. I reached out to them twice and both experiences were great and I got the direct contact information for the person I was working with.
Works great, very sturdy, comes with a lock and a screw in pin which eliminates hitch rattle. I frequently load 4 bikes and travel great distances and have had no issues. The best bike rack I have ever used!
MICHAEl - 08/07/2022Wether it is hauling my family’s bikes around or my buddies mountain bikes to the trails this carrier has been great. It is easy enough to use for a quick trip and sturdy enough for me to carry my bikes from Colorado to Indiana!
Cole - 08/21/2022Great rack. Once you use it a couple times you get the hang of it and putting bikes on goes on quicker. Pro tip - move the plastic straps down away from the tire trays before you put the bike on. Only drawback is it feels like it weighs 500 lbs.
The rack has been really great. We use this rack a couple times each week and have really enjoyed it.
It does exactly what you'd expect. I've had plenty of experience with more deluxe racks like the Thule T2, Kuat NV and others, but I appreciate the simplicity of this rack. It's also lighter than some more fully featured racks.
There are drawbacks of this rack, however. It's not as easy to adjust the position of the bikes as some racks, nor is it as fast as those racks mentioned above. I've also found it sometimes tricky to get the bikes to play nicely with one another.
All in all, this rack is a great value and well worth the money. It's far more secure than trunk style racks and you can feel confident with thousands of dollars of bikes on the this rack. If you'll need to fold it up often, or take bikes on and off quickly and often, I'd suggest spending more to get the T2, NV, or similar style racks.
I’ve had the Hollywood Destination 4 bike rack for a year and it’s been fantastic. The rack still works like it’s brand new. All the hardware and fasteners are in perfect working order and are very durable. The rack holds the family’s bikes with ease, kids bikes to full suspension enduro mountain bike. The rack still stays rock solid in the trailer hitch through thousands of miles of road trips. The Hollywood Destination 4 is great value for money. I highly recommend it the Hollywood Destination 4.
Zane - 05/16/2022Such a great rack for carrying four bikes and we have fairly heavy beach cruisers in our family. The rack is not too heavy and locks down bikes tight without them rubbing against each other. I've used it on several long trips behind my wife's Subaru Forester. Highly recommend this rack and the price is reasonable. I also have a Swagman for two bikes from etrailer and like that one as well. etrailer is a great company to work with and purchase from.
This bike rack is fabulous! We are so impressed with its high quality and ease of use. We have a variety of bike types and sizes, including a 24" cruiser and they all fit perfectly on the rack. The rack is super stable...doesn't move at all, even on the highway. It's very easy to use as well. The manufacturer thought of absolutely everything in designing this rack and the extra red straps that are included are not necessary but are a nice extra safety touch. We were concerned whether it would fit the hitch set up on our 2016 Subaru Outback and it turned out that it fits perfectly. You just need to make sure that there is at least 6 inches of clearance between the middle of the hitch pin hole and the edge of the bumper. We are so pleased with this purchase!
This is a VERY cost-effective alternative to the premium Kuat bike rack. It's not as nice and doesn't have as many features but quite capable and convenient. And, it's *hundreds* of dollars cheaper. Highly recommended.
Perfect solution for our needs - which are an affordable rack that can haul 4 bikes (ours and our grandsons) securely. This rack is lighter than others we considered so I can remove and store it for each use. Bikes are easy to mount and are rock solid on the road. A great rack.
Very happy with this bike rack! Easy one person assembly and install and very secure on the hitch. We have 4 adult bikes, on a 2018 Subaru Outback, and they all fit easily into place with only slight adjustments to pedal placement. The 3 strap system for each bike means no movement of the bikes while driving and with the added red straps, we had no issues on highways at higher speeds.
This has been a great product for my family. We use it for our RV and we have been able to take our bikes with us on our vacations. The quality of the rack is superb and I would definitely recommend it to anybody.
Great quality bike rack for affordable price. Assembly was easy. Assembly instructions are easy to follow and etrailer videos and pictures help a lot. I've also installed CURT 53201 Auxiliary Automotive LED Light Strips for improved visibility. Shopping with etrailer was easy. Their customer service is great.
We have enjoyed the bike rack. It was just what we were looking for.
