Hitch mounted bike rack?

[Specter491]

I need a hitch mounted bike rack, it just needs to hold a max of 2 bikes. But I would like it to be able to fold down so I can open the trunk. And I would prefer the style that secures the bike by the frame and tires, not the style where the bike is hanging and the wheels are free/loose. Any suggestions?

I ordered this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001VO1YY/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . I originally ordered it when I had my Grand Cherokee so when I got the Wrangler I just had to remove the bottom steal bar, drill 2 holes and turn it upside down so the pedals clear the spare tire. It does fold down and also comes with a nice bolt that holds it from rocking side to side and clunking over bumps. Holds the bikes nice and secure so far without issue.

I've had one of these for about 4 years now, and it's by far the best bike rack I've ever had, super quick and easy to use, durable, and it's made in the USA - https://www.1up-usa.com/

I have a double rack - https://www.1up-usa.com/product/2in-heavy-duty-double-bike-rack/

And 2 add ons for when I need to haul more - https://www.1up-usa.com/product/rack-add-on/

It folds up when you don't have bikes on it, and it lowers down so you can open the rear door without removing the rack.
