Anyone have any experience with a Yakima Quickback or any other trunk mounted bike rack with a 4Runner?

I have a yakima bike rack that mounts to te trailer hitch. hold 4 bikes, the bike rack part can be switched out for a ski rack. The install/uninstall from the hitch take 30 seconds. very convenient

:AK47:Trunk mounted bike racks are kind of a PITA and will scratch your runner! :wow2:
Get a hitch mounted rack if cost is an issue get a roof mounted rack.

This is a good roof mounted option
RockyMounts TieRod- car racks, bike racks, roof racks, bike carriers, bike mounts

These are good hitch mounted options

I have Yakima hitch-mounted 2-bike rack. Bought it used for $160. Works perfect

Thanks for the replies, i think I'm going to stay away from the trunk mounted racks. Our 4Runner doesn't have a hitch though, so that is project #1.

If you want something cheap and reliable right away for $139 get the rocky mounts tie rod for the roof. Just don't forget your bike is on the roof and drive into the garage or a overhang at a drive thru.

I'm a huge fan of my Thule hitch rack. Tray racks are the best because they hold any size and shape of bike. A little pricey, but very high quality. Takes about 20 seconds to load or unload a bike. Even with the rack loaded up, you can hit a lever and drop it down to get the tailgate open.
