Hollywood Racks turn out some of the most popular bike racks in the industry, and the Traveler model demonstrates the quality and convenience they are known for. Just slide it into the receiver, secure the bikes with the strong rubber cradles, and go! There are no straps on this unit to secure it to the vehicle, so stability is enhanced with anti-sway stabilizers and a threaded hitch pin.The heavy duty construction means it will wear well over time, and its powder coated paint job will stand up to weather.
The Traveler Bike Rack tilts down so that it does not have to be removed to access the vehicle’s cargo space. And the arms conveniently fold down when you are not hauling bikes. This model is available in 3, 4, or 5 bike units, for either 1 ¼ or 2 in hitches.
Who Should Use the Hollywood Traveler Bike Rack?
The Traveler is great if you are looking for a rack that attaches and loads quickly, so you can get on the road to recreation. However, the lack of securing straps can lead to some wobble on gravel or uneven roads, or on longer trips. This is especially true in the 5-bike model. One of the more affordable Hollywood’s, if the place you ride is nearby, and the road is smooth, this unit just might be ideal.

Great 4-bike rack at a great price. Light enough for me to easily put on and off by myself, as a 47 year old woman, but very sturdy. Easy to snug bikes up, anti-sway works well. I can even open my back hatch on my Lexus 330, without hitting it. Get a pad lock to replace the Carter key, and it is secured to your hitch. But you still need to lock your bikes onto the rack with a cable, if you leave them. Excellent product!
Great Bike Rack

This bike rack is very sturdy and easy to use. The bikes barely move back and forth when going over train tracks and bumpy roads. Great feature to get into the back of your tail gate on a jeep. I would recommend this item.

A good all around rack. Built well and very functional. Only problem is customer service at Hollywood. Called with a few questions and the person was impatient and a bit condescending. Too bad- kind of bittered me towards future Hollywood products.
Secure highway carrier

Reviewer: Jeeper,
I had first purchased the same rack locally but it had the 2" adapter. After looking at the width of the bottom bar, I decided I wanted the full 2" one. So I bought this one from amazon. We went from Seattle to Yellowstone with 2 adult, 1 teen and 1 BMX bike. Everything stayed secure.
This is my first bike rack and the jostling and shaking was a bit unnerving. I tightened down the thumbscrew which adds to stability and also gave the through-bolt an extra tightening. On our trip we saw many other carriers, they all have the same type of movement over highway bumps. It takes awhile to get used to seeing your expensive bikes back there swaying around I guess. They made it, so, I'm pleased with this product.
By the way, this rack will clear a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon's spare tire in the back. Its close, but, it fits. Bonus.
Awesome Bike Rack!
