    Looking for recommendations to carry two bikes (recreationally, not huge bikers/no more than 5-hour drives). We've only ever used a trunk rack, thinking they'd be easier as we're not very equipment/car-savvy, and don't want to spend much. In our search, it seems like the Yakima FullBack is the most recommended, but it's a bit more than we wanted to spend. The only used models on Craigslist appear to the be the Yakima Joe or Superjoe, but can't tell if those will work on a 2018 model. Would love any suggestions on what to buy / where to buy at discount.

    I looked into this. Decided that the right thing to do was to add a 1 1/4" hitch. Did that (at U-Haul) and then bought a bike rack that attaches to the hitch - works like a charm!
