I bought this bike rack with the 2-bike add on, and there are some things you should know before you do the same. Unless you're a big fan of Ikea furniture, in which case you'll be fine.1) It's heavy. Like, really heavy. I ended up buying a wheel to fasten on the bottom so I could roll it around. If I had to do it over I'd spend the extra $250 to get the XTR, which already has a wheel installed. But it was such a pain to put it together I don't want to take it apart to return. If you have the four-bike set up, you need at least another person to move it around.2) It's poorly engineered. As in, bolts don't line up with pre-drilled holes and key pieces are made of plastic.

I mean, when I finally gave up and Googled a 'how to' video, the first thing the person said was. "The instructions are terrible." Also there isn't an XT video anywhere to be found -- just XTR. So prepare to take things apart and put them back together through trial and error.4) If you're buying this rack because you want the flexibility to go between 2- and 4-bike set-ups... don't. Once it's set up for four bikes, it doesn't go back to two. I'm waiting for the kids to move out then I'll convert it just the one time.Now the positive...1) The ability to stabilize and lock the rack on the hitch is a nice feature. Although the lock on the hitch also falls into the 'poorly engineered' category. I'm fairly sure it will stop working at one point and it'll be locked onto my vehicle.2) The bikes are nicely spaced apart. And it's fairly easy to get in and out of the rear door without taking the bikes off.Bottom line, if you're looking for a 4-bike option that you put on your vehicle in the spring and leave it on until the fall, then this is an option for you. However if you're looking for something that installs easily, can go from 2 to 4 bikes, and doesn't take 4 hours to put together (counting buying the extra parts) -- then keep looking my friends.

We got our T2 Pro X a couple of months ago after getting a carbon frame mountain bike that couldn't be safely put on our old hanging rack. This rack is perfect for both our mountain and road bikes!Features I love:- Locks to hitch- Folds up out of the way when not in use- Easy to remove and stow in the garage- Folds down for rear hatch access with bikes loaded- Option to use the add on for increased capacityFeatures that need improvement:- Added lock cores to swing arms for bike security, but realized that it would still be really easy to steal a bike off the rack, so always add an extra lock. (only reason for four stars)

This is an excellent bike rack (hence my 4 star rating). Fits my Trek FX 2 and my wife's townie perfectly. There is just 1, rather large, issue: DO NOT PURCHASE THIS RACK IF YOU ARE INSTALLING ON A JEEP WRANGLER JL!. There are 3 reasons for this:1 - In order to install you need a hitch receiver - no big deal - however, wrangler hitch receivers sit flush with the back bumper. You sill have another 8" to a foot to clear (minimum) with the spare tire (stock) mounted. Thus you end up needing to install a hitch extension - which makes the rack less stable and defeats the security that Thule has built in with the threaded bolt for the rack2 - after getting the rack installed, i noticed that, when the rack is in the stored position, the wheel wells on the rack cover 1 ... MoreThis is an excellent bike rack (hence my 4 star rating).

You'd sell a ton of them.

The lock broke after a handful of uses leaving the bike rack stuck to my car! The rotating handle used to tighten/lock the rack to the receiver is very poor quality plastic and the lock itself is also very very very poor quality, feels and looks cheap. you can't use a traditional hitch lock either as they don't have a hole drilled for it so you're forced to used the single hole dainty safety pen - not the best insurance when you have 10K worth of bike on the rack. When in the locked position the handle spins freely so you are unable to remove the rack if the lock breaks while on the car. I created 2 separate warranty claims for my broken lock and have not heard back for either, its been 8 days. Some of the bolts also start to back out very easily so you'll need to ... MoreThe lock broke after a handful of uses leaving the bike rack stuck to my car!

I created 2 separate warranty claims for my broken lock and have not heard back for either, its been 8 days. Some of the bolts also start to back out very easily so you'll need to add lock tight if you want to keep your bike off the road. After some brief research online I found many others with these same issues many having had the bike fall off while in use on the road. I had to replace the lock out of pocket to get the rack off but I'm honestly scared to use it again. Bad quality parts/design and even worse customer service, lifetime warranty is useless when you can't get a hold of Thule in any way. Do your own research don't take my word for it. Personally I am never buying anything Thule again after this experience.
I just finished putting my rack together which was made unnecessarily challenging due to there being no words in the instructions, only pictures which aren't the clearest things to follow, a bit like hieroglyphics really. Ikea can print their instructions in, like, eight languages, c'mon Thule. The plastic "casing" around the main pivot point of the rack came out of the box cracked. Looks like an epoxy job for me. The decaling looks like it was done by someone with a hangover, not the best advertising for you. The release handle takes a great deal of effort to operate and takes repeated tries to get it to release. Basically, the rack communicates an indifference to the consumer's experience. It seems solid, though I have yet to test it under highway conditions.

The rack itself is fantastic, with a big catch. Yeah, didn’t realize that this rack doesn’t come with locks. The locks have to be purchased separately. There is a lock that will keep the hitch from being stolen, but no locks included for the bikes. WHAT? I purchased the locks over a week ago and now they are lost in the mail. After a week of Thule and USPS “support” I remain unable to secure my bikes, have had to alter my vacation plans, and no resolution yet from the manufacturer or from the carrier. All of this could have been avoided if locks were included with the rack.
I treated myself to this new rack as I was currently using the older model (10 years) that made contact with the frame and did not pivot down to gain access to the rear hatch.I could not be more happy with my purchase. The rack assembled quickly and easily, with the provided tools and heading to the trail in no time.I have used the rack approximately 20 times now and have been so pleased with the ease of loading and unloading the bikes. The bikes stay rock solid on the way to the trail even flying down a freeway or bumpy back roads.The way the rack can be pivoted down with bikes loaded to access the rear hatch is a very nice touch. There is a large handle to grab onto that makes this task smooth and simple.The locking mechanism into the hitch receiver is ... MoreI treated myself to this new rack as I was currently using the older model (10 years) that made contact with the frame and did not pivot down to gain access to the rear hatch.I could not be more happy with my purchase.

The rack is engaged perfectly every time and quickly tightened and locked into place.I wish I had purchased this rack years ago. Don’t wait like I did, buy it now.
Having had my fair share of hitch racks previously, a Thule hanging rack, Yakima Holdup evo and now this, I have to say this rack is well worth it. I use this mainly to transport 35lb 29er full suspension mountain bikes. It's solidly built, I don't see the bikes bouncing up and down. The wheel hooks secure the bikes easily.If you need to transport a fat bike then this rack is not for you, get the XTR.I would've liked that it included bike lock cores, but in my case I had extra Thule lock cores which I used.The rear wheel strap doesn't ratchet like the XTR, but it's not really a big deal.Highly recommended!
At this price point I wish it came with locks for the bike attachments. It does come with a key to lock the hitch though. I wish I had just spent the extra money and bought the XTR but live and learn! I missed that part in the specs when reading up on which rack to buy. Ooops! However, I do like that the actual hook bit locks vs a cable lock to the frame like the XTR so have ordered the cylinders to make them lock, then will back up with my own heavy duty lock when extra security is needed.I find it doesn't stick out very far from the hitch so the wheel holder closest to the car hits the bumper so some people might need a hitch extender if you don't want it to rub on your bumper.Otherwise, nice and stable, bikes don't move around at all while driving. ... MoreAt this price point I wish it came with locks for the bike attachments.

Installation was a 2 person job but fairly straight forward. Attachment into the hitch is so nice and easy, such a great system. Tilt away from car is easy and wonderful.Other than the wheel attachment hitting my bumper, and the non inclusion of more locking cylinders I am happy with this rack. :)4 starts, just because of the aforementioned reasons!
I bought this about three weeks ago - T2 Classic 2-2". Highly recommended. Fast delivery (within a week). Everything packaged well. Nothing was missing. Some of the parts, bolts and nuts, were already attached which was not per the instructions so I wasted time looking for the parts in the packaging and then determining what is needed to order the missing parts. Just before ordering I decided to look and see if they were attached. To set up warranty, register the product, the serial number is needed - no guidance on where the serial number was located and I did not find it till after I had submitted everything else online while registering. No way to go back and add the serial number. The basic hitch is very sturdy - good materials. Very heavy but once it is on the ... MoreI bought this about three weeks ago - T2 Classic 2-2".

To set up warranty, register the product, the serial number is needed - no guidance on where the serial number was located and I did not find it till after I had submitted everything else online while registering. No way to go back and add the serial number. The basic hitch is very sturdy - good materials. Very heavy but once it is on the vehicle hitch (I am attaching to either a Ford Explorer or Edge depending on which SUV is being used), adding and taking off bikes is pretty easy. The ratcheting switch to raise and lower the hook which grips the front wheels is made of a plastic that seems to have poor mechanical or wear capabilities. I am concerned that Thule did not choose a good plastic. The hitch swings away from the back hatch at a good distance. However, to lower the hitch, the level has to be hit a couple of times to release the platform and the platform then suddenly drops. I am not a fan. For safety sake, there should either be a hydraulic or strong spring assist to slow the drop. An assist in pushing the plastform back in place would be nice, also (that spring I mentioned). But I have worked out the process and know to warn people back when rotating the platform away from the hatch. I hardly notice the bikes and hitch while going down the highway (the bikes in the rear view mirror were pretty obvious). Only one lock was provided for the hitch - locking the tongue in place. There are places to add locks to the ratcheting arms. The extra locks are costing me about $25 each (on order). I am currently using a cable bike lock to keep the bikes from gaining wings and flying away while the car is unattended. The pin through the tongue is a non-standard tongue pin which is unfortunate. I like the security but losing the pin out and about is going to be very problematic. Obviously, I am attempting to remember to attach the pin to the rack when not in use along with the necessary wrench for attaching the pin (another item to lose and therefore a strong negative).
