Best Bike Racks for the Toyota Sienna

In this post, I’m going to be going over the best Toyota Sienna bike racks.

After testing 14 different bike racks for my own Toyota Sienna, I’ve finally found a couple that I hands down love. 

The Allen Sports Premier Trunk Rack allows you to transport 4 bikes across the country with ease. It only takes a couple of minutes to set up on the rear of your vehicle, this is by far the best choice of roof rack when considering practicality and the price.

If you want to find more details of this particular bike rack, as well as a couple of others, keep reading.

Allen Sports Premier 4-Bike Trunk Rack

Overall Best

Allen Sports Trunk Mount Rack is designed to fit all vehicles, including your Toyota Sienna. The setup takes a couple of minutes and can secure up to 4 bikes comfortably.

Made from mostly steel, the patented design allows for quick installation on your Toyota Sienna. It comes fully assembled and the rack can be snapped onto your vehicle straight out of the box.

It can even be folded completely flat with just one arm when not in use for easy storage. 

Once on your vehicle, you’ll notice that the clear arch design of this trunk rack features a wide profile to help distribute the weight of up to 4 bicycles in total (max 140lb), along with dual-compound padded feet to help your vehicle and your bikes from damage.

These feet feature hard plastic to help withstand the weight of the rack, and a soft grey material to help protect the entire load.

When it comes to attaching your bikes to the rack, which you can do by yourself no problem, it features individual UV resistant rubber cradle straps that allow you to secure each bike in place.

Each tie-down includes a cradle bed so that your bikes are fully protected, with no rubbing of bike frames during transport.

After using this bike rack in a number of different scenarios, I didn’t feel the weight of it when driving my Toyota Sienna. It felt pretty comfortable all in all and I noticed very minimal swinging and creaking.

Overall, this is the best bike rack on the market for your Toyota Sienna if you’re looking for affordability, high quality, and a rack that can hold up to 4 bikes in total.

IKURAM 4 Bike Rack Bicycle Carrier Racks

Best Budget

The IKURAM bike rack, which has been made from rigid steel, can easily be attached to your Toyota Sienna receiving hitches allowing you to transport up to 4 bicycles.

The hitch rack is practically out-of-the-box ready needing only three bolts to fully assemble it to your Toyota Sienna.

The rack itself has been made from long-lasting and durable steel that has been treated with a protective powder finish which further adds to its longevity.

With the optimized dual-arm design, instead of your typical single-arm design, there is plenty of space for bicycles of a wide range of frame sizes and designs.

The tie-downs that you’re going to use to secure your bikes in place have been made of UV-resistant rubber and work with a wide range of tube sizes. A soft cradle bed protects your bikes during transport too.

One of the best aspects of this bike rack has to be the “fold-down arm design” which allows you to move the bike rack in a way so that you can still have access to the cargo area.

This is definitely a huge advantage over most bike racks on the market as you’d usually have to take the whole thing down if you wanted access to the rear of your Toyota Sienna.

Once you’re done, you can simply pop it back in place and secure it in its original position with the locking pins. 

This folding mechanism also means when it’s not in use, it can be folded up in a way that makes it easy to transport and store.

Lastly, the IKURAM bike rack is backed by professional consulting services and a lifetime warranty.

Pros

  • Made from rigid steel
  • Protective powder finish for longevity
  • Dual arm design – hold a range of bikes
  • Holds up to 4 bikes
  • Attaches to your hitch
  • UV resistant tie downs
  • Soft cradle bed protects bikes
  • Fold down arm gives access to rear of vehicle
  • Folding mechanism makes for easy transportation/storage
  • Back by professional consulting services and lifetime warranty

Cons

  • Max of 140lb

Kuat Racks Sherpa 2.0-2 Bike Rack

Premium Choice

The Kuat Sherpa bike rack, which has been made from lightweight aluminum, can be attached to the receiving hitch of your Toyota Sienna with ease and allows you to transport up to 2 bikes (40lbs each max).

The no-tool install design of this bike rack makes it easy to setup and takedown, taking about 10 minutes total. This allows you to quickly get it attached to your receiving hitch so you’re ready to load your bikes onto it.

Once you’ve got the rack attached to your vehicle, you can pop the tire cradle up and place your bike in; then once its fit snug, you can use the provided cable lock which features a semi integrated lock to completely secure the bike in place.

Also, getting your bike on the rack in the first place isn’t as much trouble as other racks. With the assisted pivot system you can gently drop the rack with the tap of a button so you can get your ride on with ease.

Another awesome safety measure is the adjustable ratchet arm. With just one hand, you can release and secure the arm around your front wheel, to help keep it more snug on the rack and wobble-free during travel.

The rack can hold wheelbases up to 47” and tires as wide as 3”.

The only real issue I had was that the rack rides a little low to the ground. Now, this isn’t really going to be a problem for general use, but if you were doing some sort of off-roading, the rack could bang up against the ground and get damaged.

This bike rack is on the premium end in terms of pricing but the high-quality makes it worth it. It has plenty of features to keep your bikes safe and makes for an easy time when you’re loading and unloading your bicycles on your Toyota Sienna.

The rack comes with a lifetime warranty making picking up this bike rack risk free.

Pros

  • Made from lightweight aluminum
  • No tool install
  • Attaches to your receiving hitch
  • Bikes fit snug with tire cradle design
  • Extra cable lock to secure bikes in place
  • Ratchet arm holds front tire securely
  • Pivot system to make loading easy
  • Holds wheelbases up to 47”
  • Holds tires as large as 3”.

Cons

  • Only holds 2 bikes (40lb each)
  • Hangs a little low – not ideal for off-roading
