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!!

Hi there,
The carrier is really sturdy and easy to install on our Benz station wagon and Dodge minivan. The manual is goofy because for what vehicle it works should be on the outside of the box and in the web site description and not inside the box. Otherwise I am really happy with it.

Nothing against the product, but the compatibility chart on the website said this rack would fit Toyota Prius 00-09 but it does NOT fit models past 03, according to the info manual with the rack. Of course, I have an 04. Next time I will call the company first instead of depending on website info. Otherwise the product looked good and arrived quickly. It is probably not really fair to give this a one star rating for this reason, but I'm hoping other prospective buyers might take note and double check before they order so as not to be disapointed.

This bike rack worked perfectly for my vacation. I was able to secure four bikes to my van with the weight of the bikes riding on the bumper instead of the back window, like other bike racks.
The rack stayed very secure to the van and needed minor adjustments. At the end of the 1000 mile trip the rack performed better than I expected.

I bought this bike rack for my Mazada MPV. I wanted to carry three bikes to my summer vacation/camping trips. I have used this rack one time to camping. It has worked adequately and handled three bikes (two adult size, one child) without any problem. The rack was secured and the bikers were stabled during my 40 miles drive to the campsite on easy to moderate terrain. I am not sure how it will fare if I have four adult size bikes on it. My main concern will be how 4 bikes can be positioned safely. The frame of the rack is steady enough for the wt of 4. Anyway, I think for short to moderate distance trips, this rack is excellent bargain for its price.
