[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone recommend their bike rack?  We are a family of 4 and I just got a hitch installed on my SUV.  Finding a bike rack these days is challenging but choosing one seems impossible as the reviews for most of the ones I see online say the racks don't fit 4 bikes, as advertised.  Or you need more parts to hold 4 bikes.  Any suggestions?

I don't understand, if the additional parts can hold 4 bikes, what's the problem?

You may be talking about the KUAT NV racks? They are a great company and I had one of their older 3 bike hitch racks. It was extremely solid. When we needed to haul a fourth bike, we took the front wheels off and put the bike inside the vehicle, but it looks like the newer NV racks can be expanded to hold 4 "full size" bikes just fine.[/quote]

Many reviewers on the Thule and Yakima racks say that they bought what they thought could hold 4 or 5 bike racks, but the racks were not able to accommodate that many bikes.  Others said that additional parts were needed on those same racks to accommodate the stated number of bikes.  I can buy additional parts if needed, but I don't know what parts to buy.  Also, it seems that carrying 4 bikes is a common phenomenon... so many families of 4 go biking together.  How do they carry their bikes?  Is it complicated?[/quote]

I know Thule and Yakima are big names in the bike rack business, but I've never had one of those in all these years. I used the KUAT rack and the 4 bike model is not cheap:
