 "Outstanding, solid, easy to install" 2009-08-17
By A. Davis (Philadelphia, PA USA)
I got this rack when I got a new (small) SUV, and the old trunk-mounted bike rack wasn't compatible. We wanted something a lot sturdier anyway, and this is definitely it. I have complete confidence in the Thule brand -- we didn't even consider another. And this particular rack is the one that works well for us. It's easy to install and remove, and it's very easy to mount your bikes. A couple of well-placed levers make it easy to fold the rack section down when not in use and to slant the whole device back (without the bikes mounted) so you can open the hatch of the SUV. (You can buy longer hitches that keep the bikes farther away from the back of the vehicle if you have a larger SUV.) This is a solid piece of equipment. I did two hours of highway driving with the bikes secured to the rack -- they didn't move! No wobbling, no wheel spinning -- nada! I feel very secure with this rack, and of course, love the fact that we don't have to deal with the inconvenience of a roof rack.



Bear in mind that you need to have a trailer hitch. And if you're going to be leaving your bikes unattended for any length of time, I would definitely recommend locks for the bikes AND for the rack. It's so easy to remove the rack, that a thief could very easily take it and the bikes with very little effort.

 "Easy to use -- slight damage in shipping" 2009-04-08
By Gatorhawg (Florida)
Easy to put together and very versatile. One of the clips to lower the bike arm was busted during the shipping, which PO'ed me since I just paid big bucks. Delivery came in original box and should have been repackaged or boxed in another box. Otherwise, I would have given 5 stars.

 "Very good" 2008-09-10
By Alarmed Mutant (USA)
This bike rack is a very good buy. It's very stable and is built solid. The rubber straps that hold the bike down don't seem cheap and seem like they will last for a while. The rubber that the bike sits on is soft and wont scratch your paint.



The bikes sway when you drive and the front wheel turns. To counter that there is a cinch strap that comes with it and I strap the crank to the rack and then take the excess and tie the front wheel off and stick the excess in the trunk door. I took an old inner tube and wrapped it around the vertical part of the rack so the pedal doesn't scratch the paint.

 "Pretty Good" 2008-08-27
By J. Phillips (upper, IL)
2 bike version mounted to a 2002 Focus ZX3 in a 1 1/4" hitch. Works well enough to transport my bikes without having to remove any wheels. The lower folding portion does make hatch opening easier. I chose the Roadway for the folding top portion. This great when the rack is on your car but no bike is being carried, it folds down improving clearance and doesn't look as funky. The receiver post is on the long side for my car but the designed length is probably that way for more universal fitment. I swear a car behind me at a stop light is going to run into the up-post someday. As much as I don't like reflective stuff, some 3M reflective tape on the lower end of the up-post might be a good idea. The included strap works fine but I opted for the Thule plastic sway cages. The strap is being used to keep the front wheel form moving side to side. The Thule snug tight 2 lock works well.

I suggest using anti-seize on whatever bolt/locking pin you use to install this. Also make sure you use some sort of lube on the receiver tube and post to prevent corrosion which could lock the rack into the receiver.

Best bike item I've bought yet......besides my bike.

 "Highest quality bike rack I could ask for" 2008-05-30
By Stephen Eckert
This hitch type bike rack has "quality" written all over it. Assembly was easy. Attaching to the SUV hitch was easy and fast. Couldn't be more pleased. I would suggest going ahead and ordering the anti-sway attachment for the bikes since it is inexpensive and effective. Instructions were easy to follow.

 "Works great! What a value! But was missing a few parts..." 2009-07-08
By E. Ho (Bay Area, CA)
Just used it this past weekend. Worked great. Bike stays stable, even at reasonably high freeway speeds. It's good if you place the bike's center of gravity over the centerline of the rack, so it's balanced on the rack.



I would have given 5 stars, but I was missing a few parts in the box. An e-mail to Hollywood racks took care of that. Replacement parts were received in the mail within a week.

 "Good rack, thumb screw vibrates loose" 2009-07-07
By Georgia Girl (South Georgia, USA)
I found the Hollywood rack for 2 bikes to be more stable than any type of racks that you hang your bike on that I have tried. I had two ladies bikes on the rack and we didn't have to buy anything extra to secure them on the rack properly. You just ratchet down the security hooks and it has got them. The thumb screw that is used to make the rack even more stable is a good idea, but it does become loose from the slight vibration of the rack. Just to make sure that I didn't lose it, I checked it frequently when I stopped. If anyone has any ideas to keep this from happening, please share. The velcro straps are great! They put that extra security on the tires. Another pro is that I could put the center post down and load and unload my camping gear out of my SUV. Overall, I am very pleased with this rack. I drove approx. 1000 miles and the bikes stayed very secure and in place. We didn't get a scratch on them, as they never touched.

Nice product. Poor instructions. Box included extra parts and parts that are not shown or listed on instructions.

 "It does what its supposed to do-Mt. and Road bikes" 2009-06-05
By W. L. Huber
We have both mountain and road bikes. We also have two vehicles, one with a 1.25" receiver and one with a 2" receiver. In the past, the vehicle with the 1.25" receiver, a PT Cruiser, didn't carry our full suspension mountain bikes without a lot of fuss. The pickup with a 2" receiver wasn't much better. With the Hollywood Rack we are able to easy load them on to either vehicle. We now have confidence that nothing will happen while in transport. The rack works equally well with our road bikes. The front wheel turning is now a thing of the past. The price seemed much better than a Yakima or Tule rack of similar style. Very happy with the rack.

 "Nice rack...haha" 2009-05-26
By J. Green (IA, USA)
I own a recumbent bike which is the specific reason I chose this carrier. It's easy to assemble easy to attach to the car, the anti-rattle bolt is a nice touch. It's also relatively easy to put bikes on it. My recumbent is a short wheel base, but this rack should take up to 60" or so without trouble. With 2 bikes on, it does wobble some going over bumps, it makes me worry but it always looks great when I get to my trail and get out to check it.



My only serious detractor is one of the safety cables that keeps the pins with the rack was cut from the factory and the shipping carton was in extremely rough shape.

 "My Bikes Fell Off and Dragged Down the Highway" 2009-06-06
By C. Bush
Do NOT trust the rubber straps to hold your bike on! I had 2 bikes both on the front of the rack as I was supposed to. I strapped them in very tight and put the blue cable around them for extra security. Plus, I had a bike lock wrapped around both of the frames. I wasn't on the highway for 10 minutes when one of the bikes popped off. Luckily it was strapped tightly to both the rack and the other bike so it dragged behind my car until I could get off the highway. I'm in the process of making a warranty claim to Thule so they can fix the damages to my bike. So far their claim rep has been nice but doesn't seem to think that they're going to pay for anything. My only shot is that there is a small fray in one of the rubber straps.



Overall, I actually really like the rack. The lesson that I learned is that I need to use lots of extra straps to make sure the bikes can't move AT ALL. Also, I wouldn't recommend using this rack with a car, even if you have a hitch. The weight of the bikes pushes the shocks down so the bikes bounce around a lot more.

 "Good Bike Rack" 2009-05-17
By K. Seitz
This rack works as advertised although with some (ladies) bikes it's a tight fit getting the bike frame on the rubber mountings. It was easy to install. The rack mounts far enough away from the car that on a Lexus SUV, you can still open the rear hatch without tilting the bike rack. Also, if you need a tailer hitch, take a look at U-Haul. They have custom hitches for many cars that simply bolt on (without having to remove anything from the car). Much cheaper than what local repair shops quoted to adapt a generic hitch.

 "Beautiful Product" 2009-04-18
By Reza Gorji (USA)
Great product as advertised. My only disappointment is that you can't use a standard hitch pin or lock. This means you have to take it off when not in use and want to make sure it does not get stolen.

 "Great product, but..." 2008-11-16
By Mang (Campbell, CA)
Great product. However when usually I receive stuff from Amazon, they always arrive in perfect condition. Not this one, it was pretty scratched up and almost looked like used. Since this is heavy and lot of effort to return, decided to keep it.

 "Excellent buy!" 2008-10-19
By A. Buban (Bryan, TX)
I was unsure if this would work on my vehicle but it attached to the receiver hitch perfectly and works great. I have a Suzuki Grand Vitara and even though I cannot open the back door all the way I can open it about half way and still have access to the back of my vehicle. Bikes load easily and ride great. I haven't taken it off the back because of the ease of getting in and out with the ease of dropping the bike rack down. The only thing is that you do have to take the bike(s) off before you can do that.

 "Great value for the price!" 2009-06-21
By J. Russell (Detroit, MI)
I bought two of these for what it would have cost to buy one of lesser quality at my local bike shop. I screwed them into a 2x4 to put in the bed of my pickup truck and they work just great. I was surprised at the workmanship quality of this sturdy fork mount. Highly recommend the product.

 "Spend the extra money for a better product" 2009-06-14
By K. ORTMAN (San Diego)
Maybe it's the width of my forks (Specialized Allez Elite), but it takes a lot of screwing/unscrewing to get the bike secured. Yakima makes a fork mount that is much easier to work with.
