Carry four bicycles confidently behind your RV, truck, or SUV. The Husky Towing 81147 installs in any standard 2-inch hitch receiver and includes a built-in tilt feature so you can open your rear door or access your trunk without removing the rack. Heavy-gauge steel construction and a durable powder coat finish mean this rack is built for road miles, not just driveway display.
The 81147 ships as a fully capable 4-bike carrier. An included extension arm converts the base cradle assembly from 2-bike to 4-bike configuration -- no separate purchase required. Each bike rests on padded cradle arms that hold the frame securely, and every cradle includes a built-in lock to deter theft while you're parked at the trailhead or campsite.
The rack does not fold when not in use, so plan for its footprint during storage. At 22 lbs, it's manageable for one person to install and remove from the receiver.
The entire rack tilts down away from the vehicle so you can open your SUV hatch, RV rear door, or trunk without unloading a single bike.
Each bike cradle locks independently to secure your bike frames against opportunistic theft at rest stops, campsites, and trailheads.
No upsell required -- the extension arm that converts this from a 2-bike to a 4-bike rack is included in the box.
All-metal construction with a powder coat finish resists road grime and weather. Rated to hold up to 120 lbs total across all four bike positions.
This rack requires a 2-inch square hitch receiver. It is not compatible with 1.25-inch receivers without an adapter (not included). Verify your vehicle's receiver class before ordering. The rack fits the standard receiver opening found on most Class II, III, IV, and V hitches and on most fifth-wheel tow vehicles, trucks, and full-size SUVs.
Bikes rest by their top tube or frame on the padded cradle arms -- this style is referred to as a frame-contact or cradle-style carrier. It works best with traditional diamond-frame bicycles. Non-standard frames (step-through, Y-frame, full-suspension with sloped top tube) may require a crossbar adapter to rest properly on the cradles.
The Husky Towing 81147 is backed by a limited 1-year manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
