Default Bike Rack - No Hitch

OK, I've decided for now it just isn't worth installing a hitch for a bike rack. My daughter doesn't ride much with me anymore, and my husband can't ride a bike at all. So it is just my bike, which in a pinch can fit in the trunk with the rear seats down.

But I would like the option of a rack that clips to the back without a hitch - but doesn't damage the car and controls the bike or bikes reasonably. A two bike rack would be fine.

I am not going to be able to get the bike on the roof, so that is not an option.

Any suggestion or experience with one of these racks that fits well on the GX would be appreciated!

Hi Silverlady,

Do the hitch, i've had ones that hang off the rear door, but sooner or later you'll scratch the truck. Get a uhaul hitch, i bought mine for under $150. installs in about 10-15min.
