Car Racks
Finding Your Perfect Car Rack Mount Style
When it comes to outdoor adventures, having reliable and sturdy gear is a must, and this extends to how you transport your equipment. High-quality car racks are essential for ensuring your gear gets from point A to point B safely, protecting both the equipment and your vehicle in the process.
The right car rack transforms your vehicle into an adventure-ready transporter, capable of carrying bikes, cargo, and more, allowing you to chase the thrill wherever it takes you, whenever the mood strikes. It's not just about convenience; it's about making possibilities endless and adventures spontaneous.
Before choosing a car rack:
- Consider what you need to carry. Do you need to carry bikes, stand-up paddle boards, and/or skis? How many of each? Also, think about all your activities throughout the year and plan accordingly. Choosing a more versatile system could save you money, especially if you add new gear over time.
- To determine the appropriate car rack for your vehicle, consult the vehicle fit guides provided by major car rack manufacturers. These guides will assist you in finding racks that are compatible with your sedan, SUV, or pickup truck.
- Are your vehicles equipped with roof crossbars or a receiver trailer hitch? If not, what size will you need to get installed?

Types of Car Racks
Here is a brief overview of the options available for hauling your gear.
- Hitch bike racks: Hitch-mounted bike racks are designed to fit into the receiver of a trailer hitch. Installing a hitch receiver on a vehicle that doesn't already have one is an additional expense to keep in mind.
- Roof racks: Roof racks are considered the most versatile as they allow for the customization of accessories to transport various outdoor toys, such as kayaks, surfboards, snowboards, bikes, and cargo boxes. They provide stability, keep gear out of the way, and do not block access to vehicle doors. However, it should be noted that they can be expensive and may require lifting gear overhead, which could pose difficulty for certain individuals.
- Cargo boxes, baskets, and bags: Cargo boxes are rigid containers that can be attached to a roof rack to store and conceal equipment. They are particularly suitable for skis, snowboards, and bulky items (except for bicycles or boats). These boxes provide an enclosed storage solution for loose or irregularly shaped gear but can create wind resistance and noise while transported.
- Trunk bike racks: These racks attach to trunks or hatches using straps and hooks. They can hold one to three bikes on support arms. They are simple to use, affordable, and lightweight. However, they only accommodate bikes and restrict trunk access. Additionally, bikes may sway or collide with each other while being transported.
- Truck bed bike racks: Truck racks consist of internal rails or support bars that can be easily installed in a truck bed to securely hold bikes. Additionally, there are racks designed for transporting boats and cargo boxes.
- Spare-tire bike racks: These are affordable and lightweight options for vehicles with exterior spare tire racks.
