This VW Jetta hitch mounted bike rack is using the Saris 4229 Thelma 2 hitch mount bike rack.
Here’s a nice shot of a Volkswagen Jetta 4 Door rear mounted hitch bike rack using the Saris 4229 Thelma 2 hitch bike rack. It attaches to either 1 1/4″ or 2″ receiver hitches and carries two bikes in the upright position. This Jetta has a 1 1/4″ receiver and is using the Saris 3022 Locking Hitch Tite to lock the Saris Thelma 2 bike rack into the receiver. Also recommended is the Saris 981 Locking Cable to lock the bikes onto the rack.

Picture of the all-new Saris Bike Porter Hitch 4-Bike Rack, available in a locking version (Saris 604 Bike Porter model) and non-locking hitch mount bike rack version (Saris 404 Bike Porter model). Fits both 2 inch and 1.25 inch trailer hitches.

Serving up a few more hitch bike racks in the traditional upright mast style (or hang and dangle as they are also known) of hitch mounted bike racks, the Saris Bike Rack Company now offers the Saris Bike Porter Hitch 4-Bike Rack (available in two models, the 604 includes hitch locks to secure the bikes to the carrier and the rack itself to the trailer hitch receiver; the 404 model is exactly the same but does not include the locking security system) and the Saris Bike Porter Hitch 2-Bike Rack (same as the 404 but carries 2 bikes instead of 4). Priced at a point to put them in the cheap hitch bike racks category, it’s still no surprise how Saris Racks manages to keep many high-end features normally found only on higher-priced models. Out of the box, all the Bike Porters are compatible with both 2 inch and 1-1/4 inch trailer hitches, absolutely no extra adapters needed! Other features include tilt down bike cradle arms and also fold down hitch bike rack technology for accessing the back of the car when no bikes are mounted on the bike rack. Proprietary bike cradles also feature extra padding and integrated grooves to protect the cable for the brakes and gear shifters. Qualifies for the Saris Racks lifetime warranty also.

Lots of great adult bike hitch rack solutions are out there for a 2005 Toyota 4-Runner hitch bike rack, but most of us usually end up cramming the kid’s bikes in the back with the picnic lunch.

Q: I’m interested in a 2005 Toyota Sienna trunk mount bike rack. I’ll be carrying either 2 or 3 bikes at a time. Any recommendations?
A: We highly recommend the Thule 962XT Speedway trunk mount bike rack for your 2005 Toyota Sienna. This trunk rack is engineered to fit your 2005 Toyota Sienna very nicely. Includes the industry’s highest stability standards, the cradles are the best for securely holding the bikes and ensuring there is no swinging into each other or the back of your car. The 962XT can carry 3 bikes while the 961XT holds 2 bikes.
Another superb option is the Saris Bones trunk bike rack. Excellent stability features and very easy to install. This is a very cool looking trunk rack too. Saris 801 Bones holds 3 bikes while the 805 Bones carries 2 bikes.
Finally, if you are interested in a trunk bike rack that offers an integrated locking system for your bikes and the rack itself, we suggest checking out the premium Yakima QuickBack 3 and QuickBack 2 bike trunk mount bike racks.
