2007 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Zermatt Silver
Thule Cycle rack?

I've seen other threads on cycle carriers etc but I need to confirm 100% what/which towbar option I need. I've just ordered my Fl2 XS & I'd like to go for the removable 'swan-neck' option, but I just wanted to confirm which Thule rack will work with this option. Any help appreciated. Thumbs Up

I guess nobody has a Thule bike rack & the removable towing hook? Shocked

Anyway, I'm going for this one as it looks OK for detachable towbars... but any experience appreciated! Thumbs Up

Wrong - several forum members have this arrangement (including myself) and it has been discussed several times on Freel2. In fact just recently some good photographs were posted illustrating how the carrier can be tilted with bikes in place to allow assess to the boot Thumbs Up 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

I have a Whitter detachable tow ball and I purchased a Thule bike rack that hooks on the ball. It hold four bikes well and it can be lowered to gain access to the back. I'm very pleased with it and bought from www.towequipe.co.uk for £65.

Did you go for the swan neck detachable with the Thule bike rack in the end? Does it work okay?
