Thule 964 Revolver 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver) Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Nice. Overall well designed
Comment: Overall well made. I like it. The only thing I don't like is that there is very little spacing between bikes. When you have 4 full size bikes then it becomes tricky to secure all of them.

Summary: SATISFIED CUSTOMER
Comment: I am so happy I didn't settle for less when making this purchase. This rack is an excellent product. I leave it on our Tahoe and can easily access our rear hatch door. I would highly recommend this rack to anyone.

Summary: Thule 4 bike swing out hitch mounted rack
Comment: Had it 3 weeks works great, very easy to assemble, not cheap, pain that swing feature is not pull to release only, requires very large butterfly handle to be unscrewed and screwed everytime you want to open rear door. If you have SUV with glass door that can be opened separately from rear door I would recommend getting a flip down rack, less hastle ( pull to release only usually) to open rear door when bikes NOT on rack - no unscrewing and screwing - and when bikes ARE ON rack just use glass door for loading and unloading, that would be cheaper, easier and faster since there are more required rear door openings with bikes OFF than ON rack - hey we live and learn.

Summary: Fantasic Rack
Comment: Very happy with this rack. Really solid. Swing arm is great. Integrated lock for securing the bikes is super convenient. Lock for the hitch pin was a pleasant surprise. Having to secure the swing arm to the fixed arm was a bit of a nuisance but really not a big deal.

Summary: Great Rack with a Flaw
Comment: We puchased this rack about six monthes ago. We were attracted to it's ability to swing out of the way of the tailgate of our Mazda Tribute SUV.(Note that it requires a 2" receiver, which is not standard on this vehicle) It also is lower in height than other models, enabling the glass to open without swinging the rack out of the way. The bars that carry the bikes easily swing down out of the way, unlike some other models we have seen. It also comes with effective locks for the bikes and and the hitch pin. With the heavy-duty design, be prepared for it's considerable weight. Not everyone will be able to install or remove it form the receiver without assistance.
My beef is with the design for securing the swinging arm to fixed part of the rack. Like most other "swing-away" bike racks, it uses a large threaded bolt to lock them together. It holds securely, but ours cross threaded after just one month of use. I had to take it back to the dealer and get a replacement rack. This is a dumb idea! How about some kind of a cam action latch instead of threads that are bound to wear out? It is odd that everyone slavishly copies this inferior design!
I would recommend this rack to a friend, but only with the warning that they be especially carefull when inserting the locking bolt. Look for better systems in future racks.
