Some Negatives with the Thule T2 Hitch Mount Bike Rack.

  1. The lock is really just a DETERRENT and not really going to stop someone from taking the bikes off if they really want to. It’s so easy to remove.
  2. You cannot open the hatch once the bikes are mounted because the rack can only be lowered. It’s not a swing away type of rack
