2018 LWB Wagon: bike hauler


Recommended Posts

We are removing the second and third row seats so as to haul fat tire electric assist bikes.  Looking in particular for examples of portable solutions for the loading and unloading process as well as tie-down examples.  

 

Thank you!

I use adjustable bungee cords to tie the bikes upright.  1 pulling to each side will hold them just fine.  On my van it's easy to find holes to hook them too.  The adjustable bungees will make it workable for you.

 If you lift the front wheel onto the back (easy) it's not then much harder to lift up the back 1/2.

 

A plastic auto ramp will come up to the bumper, easy to roll it in with a little lift.  Or use a board to roll it all the way.

On my van, there were threaded holes everywhere.  Some I never found the right size, but there were at least three on each wall, around what would be the windows in your wagon, that fit the same M10x1.5 thread that the cargo tiedowns go into.  Yours unfortunately are behind the plastic panels, and I think two of them are where the seatbelts mount.  

 

A bed covered two of my tiedowns, so I mounted those to the wall.  Grabbed a couple extra bolts from Home Depot to hold more.
