Any recommendations for a bike rack for a full size SUV? I need to carry 4 bikes and have a 2" receiver hitch on the truck.
One that still allows some type of access to the back of the truck would be ideal.

Thanks in advance.
 
Most of the hitch mount bike racks tilt or swing to allow access to the rear of the vehicle. The one I bought off ebay was a 1-1/4" so I bought an 1-1/4 to 2" adapter to fit my 2" receiver. One of the benefits of the adapter is that it moves the bikes about 4 inches further from the back of your vehicle. There are also models to that are longer to clear rear mounted spares.


There are tiltback racks like this
