I have a Thule T2 Pro XT2 which I love - secure, strong, drops out of the way of the hatch, etc. It was a tossup between that and the 1UP, though...I'm sure I would have been happy with either.

I have the Kuat. Had a Thule for years. Then I saw how much Kuat does to support races, trail building and festivals.

I have been to a ton of races, events, etc. and have seen 1UP at only ONE.

I'm floored with the support I have seen from Kuat.

If you ride trails, and want to support organizations that provide support to those that build and maintain them, Kuat is a good option.

My 1up HD is an absolute monster. Should have bought one sooner than wasting my time and money with a budget yakima

Quick question for 1up owners. I saw a lot of people saying go with the black and no clear reason for it. Is the silver raw alum and black are anodized or powder coated to offer some extra protection?

The black is really nice looking, but I see no reason for it other than cosmetics. Any corrosion on it will show up like a sore thumb. My silver 1UP is quite old, at least 5 or 6 seasons on it including lots of winter road crap, and it still looks good and functions fine. Kuat, Yakima and Thule are all nice racks, but they don't have the longevity that 1UP does in winter road grime. Also, the ability to easily replace parts on the 1UP is nice. One caveat- apparently there was a split at 1UP, and there is (was?) contention about who is the "original" manufacturer.

I've had a black 1Up for a couple seasons now. I sometimes carry fat bikes with studded tires in the winter months, and my trays are now a bit chipped where the tires contact. Also the overall black finish is duller than it was when new, presumably from UV.

I still think the black rack looks better with the cement/black scheme on my 4R but I know tons of people with the silver trays and they don't look much worse for the wear years later.

yeah the black anodizing fades and I am cheap so just went with silver. No complaints with 1up from me, most everyone I know are running them and are happy with them too.

I use the cheaper Kuat that holds two bikes. It works great for me. I saw a guy at the trailhead a week ago his Kuat had a bike stand adapter I thought it was pretty slick but definitely more then I wanted to pay.

Another vote for the 1Up.

Kuat Sherpa 2.0. It is lightweight which makes it is easy to install and uninstall. It’s also rock solid.

I have a really old 1up that doesn't have the locking features for teh hitch. Also you need to run cable and a lock around your bike to your receiver of your 4runner to prevent theft.

Honestly if you are a single rider, have the 4runner to yourself, a moving blanket and the rear seat folded down is best. Inside, more secure. no extra aerodynamic drag. With a black moving blanket and tinted windows no one is the wiser.

Else I would say this is a good rack to consider if 1 up doesn't tickle your fancy:

I have a North Shore Rack. The OG vertical rack. It’s simple and robust, just like the 4Runner.

There’s a lot of newer vertical racks from other companies coming out now. Though many are using a front wheel basket making them unwieldy. Nice thing about the NSR is that it’s easy to take on/off and store.

Rockymounts Monorail

I love my Rockymounts Monorail and thought it was the best value. It works great for my road and mountain bikes. If money isn't an issue though I'd agree with the users recommending 1UP, although I'm still very happy with Rockymounts and their customer service has been fantastic.
