Trunk Racks

A trunk rack is normally seen on a sedan or hatchback or a sports utility vehicle. Generally these are used to lash a couple of bikes on to it. A truck rack is lightweight, economical and available in a variety of powder coated colours. Trunk racks are easily installed and removed.

A trunk rack has support arms and cradles with neoprene rubber straps attached. This makes securing bikes quite easy. The only disadvantage to a trunk rack is that access to your boot might be blocked.

Hitch Racks

Before you buy a hitch rack, make sure your vehicle has a hitch receiver. If it does not, then you also need to include a hitch receiver in your list of purchases. Hitches are sold by towing capacity. With Class I having the lowest towing capacity (2,000 lbs ) and class V having the highest capacity at 18,000 lbs.
