Thule T2 Classic Hitch-Mounted Bicycle Carrier

Scott W. Murray: The bike rack is nice but the box was damaged with holes punched in the box. There were a couple bolts and nuts missing in the tire hold-down assembly. I will need to go out and purchase to finish the build. A couple of the bolt head covers do not snap in place to cove so I will just take them off. The latch that locks the rack in the stowed position doesn't release when the lever is pushed so it need to be assisted to unlock. Because of the problems I feel that the quality control was very lacking at the manufacturer on the day my rack was built. Must have been a Monday or Friday build?? My first Thule and we are disappointed in the lack quality control before sending an expensive product out the door to a customer! The name "Thule" should mean quality! We will make it work as we do not have the time to return it for another so we are stuck with it.

gigigigi: I researched several bike racks before I landed on this one. I was looking for a dependable, tray-style bike rack that was easy enough to operate and assemble. This one was worth the money! Sure it's on the pricey end, but you really can't beat Thule quality. There's an excellent video on YouTube (Rack Attack channel) that takes you along the assembly process effortlessly. Looking forward to many years of use on this one.

Amazon Customer: Very solid. Instructions could be better had to build it twice as no where does it mention a left and right bike tray so the hold down arm was in the way to tilt it up.
The tilt back feature could use a shock assist. 2 bike you can tilt it. 4 bikes no way unless you’re the Rock.

Donna S. Boatwright: As long as you look at the instructions it’s fairly easy to assemble. It took about 35 -45 minutes from start to finish. This includes walking down stairs twice for tools (I didn’t like the tool supplied) and watching Tv. This thing is very heavy duty. It is well worth the money. We carry our two E-Bikes on it.

Brian: This bike rack is awesome. It is an exceptional value over the upgrade Thule Pro 2. It holds the bikes just as well is very easy to fold up when empty, and equally easy to let down for tailgate opening. While it doesn't have the latches on the outside edge, the two bike holder is no problem to use the release lever at the base of the frame. There is no integral locks for each bikes, but all reviewers have said these are very flimsy anyway. it is so simple to wrap a cable lock around the bikes and secure it through the bike rack frame. At nearly $200 less than the Pro 2 model, this bike rack is a great value. It is so easy to load and secure two bikes into the rack, I can be loaded and locked in place in about 2 minutes. The bikes are very secure and are not bouncing around like they did on a frame rack. Do not hesitate to purchase this unit. Assembly is very easy if you can read a simple direction sheet and diagrams and apply the least bit of logic.

The unit I bought had been returned because the previous owner couldn't assemble it. They had put the frame to gather upside down. What is most amazing is that by looking at the product, there are...

Captain CanuckCaptain Canuck: This Thule T2 bike rack platform has incredibly solid construction and is designed for ease of use and flexibility.

Some things to know before you buy, for the Thule 9044 model you need a 2-inch receiver (or 1.25-inch if you select the 9045 model) on your vehicle that has at least 1-1/2 inches of space between the hitch pin and the face of the receiver. Just measure your hitch receiver before you buy to make sure that you can safety mount this rack on your vehicle.

The large box arrived at my door weighing in at just over 50 lbs. Opening the box revealed that the rack comes in three main components. Assembly is fairly straightforward, the "Stinger" arm component that connects to the vehicle to the 2-inch trailer hitch receiver goes on first and then the two bike platform components slide onto that. You have to assembly the bike platforms by simply screwing on the wheel trays using a 1/2 inch socket wrench (which they mistakenly left out of the tools you'll need at the beginning of the instructions, although you could use a flathead but that's a nightmare with the included bolt screws). You also need to remove a safety screw on the underside of the...

Amazon Customer: We bought this rack to hold our two new Pedego electric bikes and couldn't be happier. Each bike weighs about fifty pounds with the battery removed and this rack handles the weight without issue. Both bikes are wider than average road bikes but the rack fits them just fine. The rack appears to be constructed with very heavy-duty components and went together easily (especially after reading the directions...). As others have mentioned, the locking system to hold the rack to the hitch is fairly weak so I'll be drilling out the threads and using a hardened steel locking pin instead. Other than that minor hiccup, I high recommended this for any bike but especially heavier and/or electric bikes.
