I love my Thule 916 XTR Hitch Rack. If it's a short trip, I can put two bikes on the rack in about 10 seconds, no pulling off the front wheels. For longer trips, I'll put the back seat down in the Silverado and put the two bikes inside so we can go in and eat with less concerns. I'd want to check ground clearance on a smaller car with that rack, though. It may not be the answer.
