 "A Quality Product but with Limitations" 2009-08-20
By Richard Thornhill (Tacoma WA USA)
Like all Yakima products this rack is a quality item. It does, however, have some serious limitations. Before you buy one check that it will fit your 2" receiver. On some receivers the bolt holes of the rack and receiver are impossible to line up! I had a Drawtite receiver and experienced this problem. I contacted Yakima and they told me they were aware of the problem but placed the blame on Drawtite. I was able to solve the problem by removing 1/8th of an inch from the rack tongue with a hacksaw, a lot of patience, and several cold beverages. Secondly this rack will only work for long vessels. I have an 18' Chesapeake Light Craft Mill River 18 and a 17" 6" Pygmy Arctic Tern and these just about work. Anything less than about 16' 6" is going to be very difficult to secure. This is also a cumbersome item to store.

So, if you have a longish boat, you have somewhere to store the rack and a compatible hitch this rack is brilliant. If you can't meet these criteria you may have something of a nightmare!

Yackima does offer some other alternatives for mounting a kayak/canoe carrier on a pickup that may work better for shorter boats but you will have to make sure the bedrails of your truck will accomodate them! Arrgghhh!

Having said all this, I remain a fan of Yakima products. Once I got the problem sorted this rack has performed well for me. Apart from the somewhat cavalier comment about the lack of compatibilty being Drawtite's fault I have been impressed with Yakima's customer service. I would have given this product five stars but for the frustrations mentioned above.

 "Very solid product" 2009-06-15
By Victor Okunev (Port Moody, BC Canada)
I use Yakima DryDock Boat Hitch Mount rack to haul huge Current Designs Libra XT double kayak on top of my Toyota 4Runner. I am very pleased with the rack, it keeps the kayak very secure. You don't have to worry about longitudinal kayak wobbling when you drive over the rough terrain or speed bumps! I've noticed some latitudinal movement of the rack, though I have not observed any negative effects of it. As far as I can tell, this is pretty much the only option to haul something long and heavy on top of 4Runner as the roof base for putting a two-crossbar roof rack is very small unless your truck has factory-installed rails. To give you a complete picture of my setup, I also use Yakima BoatLoader accessory on my front roof-mounted crossbar. This allows me to load and unload the heavy beast by myself, which makes my life so much easier. Granted, you can't open the rear cargo door with this rack in the trailer hitch, but I can live with that.

 "Thule new design Helium 970." 2009-08-09
By Vladimir Raykin (San Jose, CA)
I purchased Thule Helium 970 in July of 2009. I like the bike carrier because it is light and very convenient for every day use.

I just unsure about the rack anti - theft protection. You can't lock the receiver pin like on previous Thule models. And in locked position the Thule Stinger Swinger hitch knob will spin freely but you could easy release the hitch rotating the tighten bolt using a fine plumbing pliers at the open bolt space next to the knob.

I think the stinger assembly needs better anti - theft protection or Thule should design a lockable receiver pin for the model.

 "lock jammed" 2009-07-17
By A. castle (weston, fl)
It's a niece product, light and easy to operate. My lock jammed when i was on the road and I was unable to use my bikes. Called Customer service and the only advise the guy gave me, was to find a locksmith or cut the "security cable". Then he requested to send pictures of the broken cable so he can ship a replacement one. I ended up disassembling the carrier and taken apart the cable when I got home.

Other than that, I'll recommend the Helium carrier even the support pads ended up scratching the bike's frames.

 "A better solution to cartop racks" 2009-01-06
By GLB (Wichita, KS)
This rack is sturdy and easy to install. It carries my 16 ft canoe on my Explorer Sportrac with ease. My only gripe is that Thule uses a bolt with nut welded in the hole that fixes the hitch to the receiver. I prefer a plain hole so that I can put my locking mechanism in it. However, it is fairly easy to drill out the nut and use the lock instead.



In my opinion, this and other Thule products are well built and a good value.

 "Good but could use improvement" 2008-07-05
By Plumbing stuff shopper (USA)
It is serving it's purpose and a decent product overall. Great for a pickup truck.



Why I rated it a 3 out of 5 is that it comes with a bolt that needs to be tightened in the vehicle hitch.



One can't just use the usual clip that we all use for connecting trailers, etc to our trailer hitch.



That means that if you wish to use this hitch mount T on a van or suv it's a pain and time consuming to get into the back of your van or suv.

 "Thule Hitch Post" 2007-03-10
By Chalk dust (Fresno, Ca)
I bought this hitchpost to haul my 12 1/2 foot porta-bote on top of my F-150 (Cab to Hitchpost).

It fits into the 2" receiver on the back of the truck and bolts to your hitch via a threaded receptacle. (It would have been better to have a normal sized hole so I could use my locking receiver bar) It has 2 straps which I hooked inside the truck bed. I also added a second strap and that seems to hold the back from swaying. I tied rope around the hitch to hold the porta-bote onto the hitchpost. This seems to hold it tightly. You can adjust the height of the hitch post easily. I am using car straps to hold the front of the porta-bote on the cab of my F-150 but this is a separate issue.

All in all, I am pleased as it has solved a problem for me.

Valley 76820 Silent Hitch Pin

Valley Silent Hitch Pin works with all Class III / V hitches with 2" receiver tubes. They keep ball mounts, cargo carriers and bike racks quiet and rattle free and easy installation due to 2 keys and wrench. Block with spring is placed inside the ball mount and drawn to the side of the hitch tube when the pin is tightened. This pushes the ball mount or hitch accessory up against the side of the hitch tube, dramatically reducing movement and vibration and acts as a great alternative to the J-pin and a second hole is not needed. They also act as an anti-rattle device.

- Fits 2" x 2" trailer hitches
- Requires ball mount or hitch accessory to have a hollow shank

 "Make Sure you order correctly..." 2009-11-06
By T. Hefner (Littleton, CO United States)
I bought this locking pin to replace the anti rattle pin i have for my performancebike xsport flatbad bike rack. OOPS! Is all I can really say. This pin is way too large for the bike rack but no worries as I'm keeping it for my D-Receiver and regular ball receiver.



The unit feels very sturdy and is quite heavy for it's small stature. It's well made and once assemble will be very solid. When cranking down on this thing engaging the threads use a wrench or ratchet as the included tool is meant to be give to your 6 year old :)



Note: If you are looking for an anti-rattle locking pin for a bike rack make sure you search for just that, 5/8 inch locking pins for 2 inch receivers will give you a pin much too large for bike racks. Those type of anti wobble locking pins are out there but are hard to find for a fair price.

 "Silent Hitch pin" 2009-04-01
By Robert H. Sudmann (Florida)
This is well made and does a great job of keeping things snug in the hitch box, and it also locks the two together. A box wrench works a lot better than the one included.

 "Valley Hitch Pin" 2008-08-03
By RGJ (Ohio)
Quick delivery. Solid product. Easy to install. Used with receiver-mounted bike rack. Stopped all rattle. The included wrench is OK but recommend using a regular box-end wrench or ratchet to tighten the bolt because you get more leverage and a tighter fit.

 "Works as advertised" 2007-12-24

 "Best Bikerack ever made (thus far)" 2009-08-23
By K. Conover (Carnegie, PA United States)
Over the past 40 years, I've either owned or regularly used about 10 different brands and types of bikeracks. While I can't give this rack five stars due to one minor problem, it is by far the best bikerack I've ever used or even heard about. I have it on the back of a 2006 Scion xA. (Did have to get a hitch put on the Scion, but this is very much worth it to be able to use a rack like this rather than some sort of a strapon kludge.)



As with all Thule racks (compared to several competitors), the stretchy rubber straps that hold the bike on the bikerack are easy to use, indeed even better than an older Thule rack I have on my Land Rover. (For instance, the Softride rack we have has straps and posts that are much more difficult to use.)



The posts that stick out the back are close together, so mountain bikes and kid's bikes fit on easily, without having to use the lower post of the bike as one of the attachments to the rack.



It really is light, though quite sturdy - you'll notice this especially when you pull up the little latch to let the rack come down so you can open the back of your car, or tilt it back up with one finger.



The integrated lock cable (locks with the same key that locks it into the hitch) is an elegant design. One cable comes out of the (as you look at it) left horizontal post, and another cable, with a lock on it, comes out of the top of the vertical post (yes it has a little cover on it to keep rain out of the lock, and the one in the horizontal post has a little keeper to keep it in place when not in use). You simply lock the two of these together (they're really quite short) over top of the bikes. This won't save your front wheels from being stolen, you might want another cable lock for that.



My only complaint is that, when I wanted to spread the saddles on the horizontal bar apart a bit to better accommodate three mountain bikes with lots of stuff on them (handlebar extensions, etc.), it was very, very hard. I do 250 pushups every morning and I couldn't get them to move by using my hands. I tried to use a large pair of Channelock pliers, which scraped up the saddle but didn't move it hardly at all. I then used an oil filter wrench, the type that has a length of nylon webbing that you wrap around the object (the saddle in this case), attach a 3/8" socket wrench. I twisted the saddle around the horizontal bar 2-3 times while gradually moving out or in as the case may be. That's really a minor problem, I figured I'll do this once and then never move them again.



Everything else in the installation is a snap. Everything is well-engineered, and you'll find lots of little details where Thule's experience and engineering expertise show - many incremental improvements over earlier Thule racks.



If I had to give this rack a grade using the US grading system, I'd give it an A-. I would give most of the other Thule and Yakima racks a solid B or B-, and some of them, like our Softride rack, a C+. And I was pretty happy with my Thule rack before, so this rack really raises the bar.



Final impression: best bikerack ever, if you just need to carry 3 bikes. Highly recommended, and worth getting a trailer hitch put on your car just so you can use it.

 "Great Bike Rack" 2009-08-18
By Dew (Denver, CO)
At first I was a little leery spending so much money on a bike rack. I'm amazed at how easy it is to use. It literally takes seconds to pop your bike on the rack and lock it down for travel. I've had the rack 2 months now and I'm glad that I bought it. I would buy another one in a heartbeat and would recommend it to friends. It was easy to mount. Don't forget to buy the locking hitch pin which is sold separately.

 "Nice Rack" 2009-04-28
By E. Young Jr. (NH)
Debated on what style rack and decided that this was the best option for me. Being a mt. biker this was my choice for the ease of transporting. Mt bikes have all sorts of frame designs and shock placements. Buddy has a roof rack and seemed more of a pain than I wanted. Researched and decided on this. Putting it together wasn't bad. Not difficult to remove from the car. A little heavy but easier than my Thule Speedway. Another reason is the 2 bike add on which I also purchased. Works great. Also bought the locks to protect my investment. Real happy with everything.

 "Best bike rack on the market by far." 2009-04-16
By Ricardo Aguilar-chavez (Fresno, CA)
I own a 2008 Santa Cruz Nomad and 2005 Jamis Dakar XLT 1.0. If anyone is familiar with these bikes they would recognize the frame design and know that any other type of rack system would simply not work. I previously had tried a Yakima and it just didn't cut it for me. The Thule 916 T2 system is excellent, very well built and easy to load your bikes. I highly recommend as the best bike rack out in the market today. Very well worth the price.

 "Durable, easy-to-use rack" 2008-12-26
By C. Kennedy (Norman, OK)
We have owned this rack for about two years now and it is amazingly easy to use. The rack isn't light, so expect to work a bit to get it onto your hitch, but once on, it is very convenient. If you have a rear hatch, you can fold the rack down and get things out of the back without removing your bikes (not that it would be hard to take them off and put them back on, putting both bikes on the rack takes about two minutes at the most.

 "Thule Rack exceeds expectations" 2009-09-14
By William L. Foster (Mystic, CT)
The rack arrived within a week of ordering. Assembly took less than 5 minutes and was simple to do. Rack fits 2" receiver perfectly. A bolt is screwed into one of the receiver holes to fasten the rack. Finger tight would probably do but I take a 3/4" wrench to snug it up. It comes with a strap that keeps the bikes firmly fastened to the rack. Rubber hold-downs work well and can be adjusted to fit most bikes. Rack is lightweight and easy to insert into receiver as well as remove. Although rack can be lowered via a hinge to allow hatchbacks to open, you are advised to not do it with bikes attached. All-in-all, a rugged, lightweight, simple rack that gives you confidence that your bikes will arrive when you do without damage.

 "Thule 2-bike hitch mount rack" 2009-08-28
By A. William Ceglia
The "bolt in" hitch is a bit more inconvenient than a pin. If you want to lock it, you must order a special locking bolt. Bolt-in provides a little more stability, however. I keep a ratchet wrench in my truck now. The rubber or neoprene fasteners slide inward on the support bars for the outside mounted bike during transport. Although it has happened with each use, it has not caused a problem, yet. Its okay, it gets the job done.

 "Great Rack, Sturdy" 2009-08-19
By SSS (Pa)
This bike rack worked perfectly for us. My husband loves his bike and put a lot of extras into it. I was surprised that he approved of this rack and had no complaints. We have taken our 2 bikes on it several times for approximately 150 miles each time. We priced around as well and the value was very good.

 "Thule Bike Hitch" 2009-04-03
By William Cavanaugh
I found the Thule bike hitch very easy to assemble and use. The only draw back is that I wish they had made it easier to collapse and store when it's not on the car. Also instead of a bold holding it to the receiver hitch a pass through pin would have been nice so the hitch could be locked to the car.

 "Horrible rack" 2008-09-29
By E. Younan (Detroit area, MI)
This is a terrible rack. It does not hold the bikes on securely as the straps are weak. I've have several scary highway moments. Plus, it does not separate the bikes and scratches and dings your bikes. It is poorly designed. Additionally, you have to buy a locking hitch pin to make it secure. Do not buy it unless you want to ruin your bikes.

 "Great box!" 2009-08-17
By Michelle (Ohio)
I bought this box from somewhere other than Amazon as they wouldn't price match ($100 less). Just took delivery today and had it all hooked up and installed in about half an hour. Drove through a hard rain on my way home and the inside of the box was dry when I got home. Cargo box is larger than pictures make it look, but I can't wait to try it out in the near future -- looks like it will hold a lot!

 "Buy this item locally if you can - Amazon can't get order out complete!" 2009-07-28
By Dianne M. Gleixner
I chose this luggage box because it swings out of the way, but I couldn't order it locally and receive it in time for our upcoming vacation. Amazon said they could get it to me in just a few days. Perfect, I thought! It actually arrived a day earlier than expected - better yet, I thought! NOT SO FAST - I only received box 2 of 2! Called Amazon - after hours (really!) on the phone they said they'd get a replacement order out to me, hoping it would make it in time. The day before we're to leave, the 2nd order arrives - AGAIN BOX 2 of 2! I was furious! Now I have 2 charges on my CC, nothing to put my luggage in, and am waiting for my refund. Amazon has lost me as a customer. Save time - buy or order it locally, even if you have to spend more, it'll be worth it in the long run.

 "Worth every dime" 2009-07-15
By T. Conners
We own a 21 cu. ft. Thule rooftop box that has served us well and with the annual vacation coming up, we decided we needed a little more cargo space for the 400 mile trek. I considered the hitch mounted platforms with a cargo bag, but didn't feel comfortable with the security that provided. I also didn't want to get a ticket for blocking my license plate (no front plates in PA). The 13 cu. ft. addition this box provided was perfect.



Everything about getting and using this box was about as easy as they get. Order was the typical Amazon 1,2,3 process. No issues. The box showed up via common carrier about a week later, and by appointment. The shipping company was great.



Setup was a piece of cake and went onto the back of my Yukon XL with zero issue after a little assembly. A $10 adapter from the parts store to plugin in the lights to my trailer port and I was done. The swing out feature is fantastic and my lift gate clears with about 2-3 inches.



Driving with this box on the back was a non-event. I couldn't even tell it was there...Once mounted and locked on you forgot about it until it was time to empty it.



This purchase was worth every dime!

 "great item" 2009-02-24
By M. Garza (TX)
We received this cargo box within a week of ordering it... wow! That is an awesome job by Amazon to appropriate resources to make this happen as a free shipping item. I knew when I ordered the item that my Toyota Sequoia would need an adapter for the brake lights, but that took a quick trip to the Toyota dealership and $11 later... poof! instant brake lights! I have a Yakima roof rack that has worked for years with zero issues and was a little hesitant about using a Thule since I was not very experienced with the line. I was also concerned about the grey color of the upper box since the trim and the Yakima are black. However, I actually see the merit in the grey top for the sake of safety. The grey contrast makes it really easy for lovely tailgaters to space themselves more appropriately from the vehicle. I am not sure if the grey color for contrast was an intentional design, but I am not complaining anymore. For my particular vehicle model I have only one option for the pin placement at the hitch since the electric hookup is too close to the hitch. If I wanted to put the lock on the opposite side of the electric hookup I have to unscrew the hookup to make room for the pin insertion. Let's hear it for the engineer who came up with that idea! The box is solid and doesn't rock around when on the move. We go camping a lot and we have increased our family of 5's sq. feet tremendously. Thanks, again, Amazon for the speedy delivery.
