Reviews for Quadratec 4 Bike Folding Bike Rack for 2" Receiver Hitch
High quality, heavy gauge construction. Very robust design. The only con is I am unable to fully swing open my tire carrier with the rack installed. It'll clear the stock tail gate fine, but I would suspect most aftermarket tire carriers will have trouble.
Excellent bike rack, works as advertised. We are able to open hatch and rear gate fully once the rack is folded down. Rack works on my truck as well. As long as you have a 2" receiver hitch this rack will work. Don't waste time on other brand name racks for your Jeep. This is the ONLY one that will work if you want to get into the back of your Wrangler.
I got rear ended with this bike rack installed, and it took all the damage.
Long story short, this thing is built like a tank. It protected my car when a DUI driver rear ended my polar edition Sahara at a stoplight. The bike rack took the whole hit, and my car was untouched. I couldn't believe it, and went as far as checking the car for frame damage and there was none. The other driver's bumper got wrecked.
This bike rack's main post never bent, but sadly a few components got pretty damaged along with the fork (the part on which you stack the bikes) as was folded down at the time of impact. Amazingly the whole thing still works, but I'm ordering a new one just to be safe. I also had to replace an OEM hitch mount, as that got misaligned too. Just to give you an idea of how strong this thing is.
Five stars all day.
Arrived quickly and packaging was good. Works well and doesn't rattle when not is use. I have a 2014 Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited with 34's, the rack clears it not problem. And I can access the tailgate with the tilt feature, even with bikes on the rack.
Great item ! Very well built and thought out , no complaints
Good build quality. Well worth the price.
Excellent fir the price. Very easy to adjust when left on to use the back door.
Easy! Very sturdy, as simple as a bike rack should be. Nice reflectors and room for four bikes.
Easy to put together. Easy to install and uninstall. Easy to use. Quality build. At first I couldn't figure out how to fit 4 full-size mountain bikes onto this rack, but once I figured out that the pedal has to go through the frame of the bike before it, and to keep the handlebars turned about 35 degrees toward the Jeep, they all fit beautifully. Now it takes less than five minutes to load and unload. Well worth the money!
Simple to install, easy to use, and sturdy. I tried another brand that "guaranteed" it fit a Jeep Wrangler. Two tries at extensions later I finally bought what I should have at first -- Quadratec 4 Bike Folding Car Carrier.
Assembly is simple and the tools are included (I would recommend a 3/4" ratchet over the supplied wrenches). From unboxing to hanging a bike for test took under 15 minutes. Unit is sturdy and stable both with and without a bike. Supplied strap helps keep bikes from swaying.
My unit came with a cable lock that can be keyed to your ignition. While the cable is not going to stop a determined thief, it's a good deterrent when leaving bikes for a short period. I wouldn't recommend the lock for overnight parking .
This rack allows clearance for the rear door and lift gate without the need for a hitch extension. I am not sure how the rack would work with larger tires, but another review (unit w/o lock) said the rack was ok for his 32" spare.
