The newer racks are getting better,. I have the fat spindles already by default- holds up to 5..5 tires plus road bikes. One of them goes down to ONE rack which is amazing since I can open the hatch without lowering the rack and it is very light. The Thule, while a decent rack, also does not adjust since it has fixed spots for the tires. I can move mine around on the 1UP in case two bikes are touching when on and I cannot lower the seats enough etc.. My 1Ups are far better that way too. The Kuats are decent but also very similar in design to the T2. I owned the NV 2.0 and sold it. Now, the NEW fancy Kuat is around $1,300 and quite a contraption. My first 1Up is over 10 years old ($299+$199) and still looks new. The second is a heavy version (maybe $750) and can hold 75 lbs on each tray. I have also owned the Yakima Holdup and Saris tray rack...sold both. These don't rust so I leave them all for my fatbike all winter.
