Yes the T2 Is Heavy!! Thats another reason My Buddys & I agree that the 1UP USA rack is better than the Thule T2.

When you have the second bike attachment and fold it up, does it interfere with the back up camera?

It's better quality in real life (it doesn't look as much like an erector set in person). It holds the bike a bunch more secure than I thought it would. Holds it by the tires instead of the the frame or any other clamping.

no rattles, nothing has ever come loose, no excess movement.

Folds up and semi-out of the way when empty and folds backwards with the bike on it to open the rear hatch. You can move it closer into the hitch reciever to get the bike closer to the back of the truck too.

kinda spendy, but well worth every penny.

I recently purchased this bike rack at REI. The 20% member coupon made this a no brainer price wise. My favorite feature is the ball bearing that you can tighten to ensure a solid snug fit in the hitch. The carrier is really light at ~30lbs which is helpful when I take it on and off to store in the trunk. Even though the rack comes with a cable lock and hitch lock I don't trust the Chicago scumbags scurrying around at night.

The rack adjusts/tilts out away from the trunk so you can open the tailgate if bikes are hooked up. Of course, rack also folds up vertically when you don't have bikes to carry. Bikes I've transported feel very secure. No rattling or bouncing around while scooting around 70+ mph.

OP, what kind of bicycles are you looking to carry? For road bikes a Kuat Sherpa is fantastic option. But if you're transporting MTBs then Kuat NV or 1UP is the better call.

Went from a Thule T2 to a 1UP and love it. Better looking, lighter, higher clearance, less rattle, with one carrier only it’ll fold up below the line of the rear door, and I like that it holds both tires from above.

The great thing about the 4R is all the cargo space. If I’m just taking one bike, which is the majority of the time, I just put my road or MTB inside. Lays down with plenty of room.

That will most likely be "the best"

Planning to get one sometime this year myself. Super low weight and easy to carry and tucks in nicely to the vehicle body, better than any other rack on the market.
Yeah, if you want the best this is it! Rock solid and made in America, nuff said!

Another 1-Up vote here. I bought the double last year and it has been fantastic. I mainly use it for solo rides, but it is great to be able to throw any other kind of bike on the back for when a friend wants to come along.

Had the Kuat NV for about a year when the wheel chock compression arms started to fail.
Bought the 1UP and it's been great..going on 3 years now.

The constraint with the Sherpa are the cradles for the tires on the tray. If you have fatter tires they may not fit in the cradle. Also the tire cradles adjust if you need to accommodate a bicycle with a longer wheel base.

Those features are nice but I don't need them so Sherpa it was.

I went with the Rocky Mounts Backstage. If you'd prefer a swing out rack, I'd recommend for sure. Makes getting in and out of the trunk so much better than shimmying between the rack and vehicle. Still folds up when empty and down when loaded like all the other racks as well.
