Whatever one you decide to get, remember to get a locking hitch pin! No point in locking the bike to the rack if they can steal the whole thing by simply unhitching it!

This is a great idea, no need for one rack for the bike and the other for camping. I like all in one solutions. Good job

I used one of these for a while on my xTerra but added the bike rack accessory.



I just got tired of carrying it from the shed to the vehicle every time.

I got the Thule T2, but I would look into the Thule "Spare Me" rack for weight and ease of use if you're carrying max of 2 bikes.

I use the Yakima Spare Joe 2. It works fine for OEM P255/75R17's. The guy I bought it from sold it because it wouldn't fit his 35's.

I use a Thule Parkway for 4 bikes--it needs a hitch extension to run with the spare tire on, but other than that it's perfect.
