Thule Helium Pro Bike Rack for 3 Bikes Feature Review Video

Great question Gerard! The Thule Bike Adapter Bar #TH982XT could potentially pull the seat loose, but that would take either going over some pretty rough terrain for a prolonged time, or a whole lot traveling without checking on the bike. I will…

The hitch manufacturers we carry list that with a Class I hitch you can only carry a max of 2 bikes. Like you stated, it's a combination of the additional weight of the additional bikes and the added leverage that weight puts on the hitch…

Yes, that note is accurate. A Class I trailer hitch receiver is limited to only 2 bikes regardless of the amount of weight it's carrying. This is due to the exaggerated force caused by the additional leverage from the bikes being further…

Since the doors above the hitch are a decent distance away from each other the Hollywood Rack Bike Rack part #HLY84FR would allow it to open if the rack was folded down, but if the rack was loaded I can't see there being enough clearance. I…

Definitely! We have a great hitch that fits a non-AWD 2022 Volkswagen Taos. For that recommendation, I suggest the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" #C38JR. This hitch has a ton of advantages over the competitor Draw-Tite…

Thank you for your purchase of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C38JR for your 2022 Volkswagen Taos! From what I'm seeing in the photo you sent in it looks like the bracket(s) on your hitch got bent a little during shipping. This isn't super…

No, installing a trailer hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C38JR you were looking at will not void the warranty you have on your 2022 Volkswagen Taos. The only way that this part or any aftermarket part may void your warranty is if a…

Best option for a trailer hitch on your 2019 Honda CR-V will be the etrailer hitch part #E98848 because this hitch has the 2 inch hitch size which has better towing capacities and has a concealed crosstube which makes it look nicer and help with…

If I personally had to choose between the two, I'd go with the Thule #TH911XT. I actually prefer the looks of the #SA805BL Saris Bones, but I don't care for the way that the weight of the bikes and the rack rest on feet that small. Spreading…

The 175 lb tongue weight rating is what I'm seeing in the owner's manual for your 2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid as well, so even though the Curt Trailer Hitch #C13416 has a tongue weight rating of 600 lbs, the 175 lb rating of your vehicle is the…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

If you live in an area where it is currently cold (since this is February) then the issue is that the rubber strap like part #753-3535 are being difficult to stretch due to the cold. Try heating the rubber straps up a little by taking the bike rack…
