GX460 Bike Rack Options

[IanB]

Check out iSi from Australia if you do any kind of moderate to difficult offroading, or if you plan to carry a spare mounted on the back. The carrier can be configured to account for the space the spare takes up

Is yours as shown the short, mid, or extended version?

Pictured is the mid I believe or '4x4x2-500/40' with 'compact low profile' pivot base to clear my swingout at the time. These names are what they call it if you search their site. The standard pivot base is be better for departure angles if you mount direct to the hitch and not needing to accommodate a swingout directly above the mount point

Thanks for the info. I'm trying to find something that will work with my GX470 and GX460's with stock style frame mounted receivers under the bumper, and my HDJ81 with custom rear bumper w/ integrated receiver, and factory rear tire swingarm...proving to be a tall order, lol.

VelociRax 6 bike vertical has been impressive so far.

Hi there! What hitch receiver do you have? I just got a GX and I’ve got a Velocirax, but I’m seeing that the class III receivers don’t have enough depth for the Velocirax. I’m hoping you’ve found a solution because I *love* my Velocirax and want to install it on my GX.

I have a 2010 460 and took the 1.25" Kuat NV 2.0 Base I was using on my Subaru before buying the truck. With a 2" -1.25" hitch adapter, the rack works great, however I think that the 1.25" Kuat has a big gooseneck on the rack that raises the whole tray up, great for lower cars, but bad for ours. With no bikes on the rack, I can't open the door more than a few inches.

Based on parking lot assessment of other racks, seems like the majority of 2" hitch racks will sit low enough to be able to open the door with no bikes on it. I'm sure the door is inaccessible with bikes on the rack as others have noted. And you can always use the window.

It's not a 460, but I run a Rig'd Untraswing Pro + Ramble Rack. Lets me swing out to open door, I can open door about 20" with the rack and no bike - enough to put stuff in the back or access it.

Are you want to mount E-bikes or peddle pushers on the back. That may make a huge difference in what kind of rack you get considering E-bikes weight so much.
