Curt Manufacturing 11468 Class I Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

The product depicted in the picture is the old model developed by Curt for the prius, this design causes the exhaust gases to overheat the rear bumper cover and cause it to melt.
Be sure to get the latest model from Curt which has a "cut-out" for the tailpipe.

Anti Rattle Locking Hitch Mount Wobble Bike Rack Hauler (Anti-Wobble) Review

Anti Rattle Locking Hitch Mount Wobble Bike Rack Hauler (Anti-Wobble)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Works OK, just is not user friendly when trying to install it on various vehicles with different body plastic, i.e. Chrysler Town n Country: Due to hitch being resessed under van, not enough 2 inch receiver sticking out to proper secure it. Doge Power wagon 2500 Welding to thick at neck of receiver and only wat to install anti-rattle was to turn it upside down and tightn the screws. Works well in that position.

Curt Manufacturing 18050 Bike Rack Stabilizer Strap Review

Clipping in at the top edge of the hatchback, the strap isn't long enough to reach the rack -- approx 6" further than the bumper -- and back to the clasp (let alone loop around the rack post).

Thule 400XT Aero Roof Rack Foot Pack (Set of 4) Review

Thule 400XT Aero Roof Rack Foot Pack (Set of 4)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just installed the Thule 400XT rack -- the original estimate of half an hour though was greatly off the mark. It took me about 2 and a half hours to install the first time. However, one I learned from my mistakes, it was a lot easier to install.
The general difficulty I had was very fine tolerance the parts have in attaching them to my '01 Prius. For example, I had to load bars initially upside down (grip side down) which made a big difference in trying to do the initial lock with the tensioning cam (still required a lot of force though). Also, there was little extra leeway on the screws to attach the fit kit to the feet. Lastly, setting the final tabs in place took a while until I realized I could just get a plastic card and push them in while shutting the assembly. After all these hickups, I know how to set it up a lot faster. Othewise, solid construction and it doesn't look like it will move anytime soon.

Saris Sentinel 3-Bike Trunk Mount Rack Review

Saris Sentinel 3-Bike Trunk Mount Rack

This rack works great! I was not ready to invest in a hitch for my car and tried a few different trunk racks before getting this one. The six straps really help to keep the rack secure...make sure you tighten them before AND after you load the bikes. There is plenty of room for three bikes with the adjustable length arms and the individual straps to secure the bikes are much more secure than I thought they would be after my first glance. I did not feel the need to use bungee cords in addition to the straps...but might for longer car trips. This rack also fits very well over my spoiler. Great value for a trunk rack!

Got a more family oriented mode of transportation? Then the Sentinel three-bike trunk rack from Saris is for you. Designed to carry bicycles on vehicles with atypical body styles such as hatchbacks, sedans and passenger vans. It can be mounted over most spoilers or lighting arrays, and carries up to three bikes. Made with adjustable arms that can be mounted securely in multiple positions, and they can also fold flat for storage. The hold-downs secure each bike independently and keep them crashing into one another or wobbling while in transit. The hooks that secure the rack to the trunk seam are neoprene coated so they won't scratch your car's finish, and the bottom bar brace has a vinyl covered foam pad to separate the rack from your trunk lid. No assembly is required.
