 Great Bike Rack November 15, 2006

We had a tough time finding a bumper mounted bike rack for 4 bikes that would be shipped to an FPO address. After reading tons of reviews on other bikes we went with this one even though it was a bit more expensive. It was worth every penny. It arrived promptly...given that it had to go to Japan. It was easy to mount on our vehicle. It is incredibly sturdy and holds up to 150 pounds...more than enough for our bikes. I also like that I can still open the back hatch on the car while the rack is one there....I just need to retighten the straps. An excellent purchase worth every penny.

Hollywood Racks F4 Heavy Duty 4-Bike Trunk Mount Rack
Okay this was one amazing bike rack for us!! We were so worried after reading "many" other reviews on trunk bike racks (many which ended up breaking or losing ones bikes on the road or couldn't handle road speeds and still seemed to cost a fortune)so we were about to give up all together and just rush and get a hitch when lucky for us we read about the Hollywood Rack F4 and all its good reviews...we then decided we'd give it a try for the price and hope for the best as we were really not wanting to pay for a full hitch hookup yet. So being very nervous we made the purchase on Amazon and got the rack in 2 days! And let me tell you, we should "not" have worried, it was "the" best buy for the price. We not only gave this bike rack a solid test, but to be honest, we ran it through the ringer!!! We took this bike rack from Bellingham WA all the way to OR then up to the California Redwoods with twisty, potholed roads and high speeds with "4" yes I did say "4" ADULT mountain bikes strapped on the back and it never even faltered (over 14 hours of traveling time one way)! We then proceeded to push it even further and decided to extend our trip and turn around and go back up to Crater Lake OR which was another 7.5 hours from where we were in CA! Again twisty sometimes 70 mph roads with some nasty bumps and again it never showed signs of loosening, sliding, or even moving (and I was nervous and constantly looking back I can tell you)! In fact this bike rack got almost 2 weeks of serious use and was taken off and on probably 6 times and again it held strong each time it was put back on! For buyers who hope to have the same experience as us, I have 2 excellent tips and that is to make sure "all" straps are seriously tight like it says, and that you tie up all loose ends, and tip 2, take a bungee cord and wrap all the tires together one time(after you have them on the rack) so they don't spin while driving (This kept our bikes solid and non moving) (not even a tiny scuff from the rack or bikes was to be found). We had "plenty" of room for 4 adult mountain bikes (we were driving an 07 Toyota Sienna Van) We simply would alternate each one so they were not all facing the same direction. Again, I can not stress how great this rack was, the first time putting it on with 4 adult bikes (reading directions very carefully, took about 20-25min) after that first time we were doing it in 10min (if that) tops! Thanks to the maker! If all your racks are made the same then I highly recommend this product!!

Excellent product. We loaded up 4 bikes (one with a child seat) on our 2006 Nissan Quest and the rack held everything in place very well. I also like the included foam pads to prevent scratching and extra straps to tie up spinning wheels.
great set of racks! April 13, 2009

I did a fair amount of research (mainly on Amazon) prior to purchasing these. I also called the folks at Hollywood in order to decide between the E3 and F4. I was a bit concerned that the F4 was missing the craddles and might not work as well. In speaking w/ the technician, he assured me that the "bumps" on the F4 work really well, which I found to be the case. (Note that the bumps are visible in at least one of the zoom-in pictures of the racks. They keep the bikes from sliding around on the support bars). Note that the unit also holds 4 bikes instead of 3, which is quite impressive. In fact, I don't remember comming across any other strap-on bike racks that hold 4 bikes.
I found the racks easy to configure. They mounted very snuggly on the back of our Mazda MPV minivan. I was able to get 2 adult bikes and 2 kids bikes on the racks. It did take some fooling around to get them all on there. I had to losen the handle bars on two bikes and rotate them 90 degrees relative to the front wheels.
The only possible downside I can think of is that racks with individual craddles for each bike might have the advantage of keeping the bikes from touching each other. In mounting the 4 bikes on the F4, I had them jammed pretty close together so they did touch. I didn't notice any visible damage to the bikes, but our bikes are older so I wasn't that concerned. If I had a brand-new >$1000 bike, I would at least investigate whether the individuals craddles might do a better job of keeping my bike from banging into the other bikes on the rack.
Overall I am very satisfied with this product.

This is the first bike rack we've owned and I don't see why we would get another one anytime soon. It was very easy to unpack and setup; probably 10 minutes the first time. Straps are easy to adjust; it is very rugged; folds flat for storage. It fit 3 bikes very easily, and a fourth was a tight fit but do-able. I would recommend the rack to anyone looking to avoid a hitch-based system, for an SUV or minivan. There were more expensive systems out there, but this one works fine for us. We did try a rack with rubberized clasps to hold the bikes, but didn't care for it at all, and returned it (local sporting goods store). So this time we were looking for a simpler straight bar to hold the bikes.
