Is anyone using a rear hitch mount tray style bike rack with a 2025 4R and not getting warnings from the trailer or rear breaking systems? My rack is a 1UP Super Duty.

If you have to disable 1 or 2 safety features every time you start the engine, that is just unacceptable and 'might' be a stopping point for me on the purchase.

If you can disable once and it's not 6 layers down in a menu, I can put up with that.

Like someone else stated in another forum, it would be nice to have button for "bike rack" mode.

For those of you with a hitch mounted bike rack on your 6th gen, how’s the driving experience?

I know the back up braking safety feature needs to be disabled. Any other major annoyances with all the sensors when a rack and bikes are mounted?

I have an 6gOff road premium coming in next week. Planning to keep a 1up rack on it 24/7, but concerned about all the damn sensors.

Photos are my 5th gen that’s had a 1up rack mounted for well over 5 years straight.

I have not put my rack on yet, still cool in the 50's. But maybe I should just put it on and ride around to see.
I'll get back.....

Picked up the Kuat NV 2.0. Super solid. Test drove with the bikes on there over a handful of speed bumps—no shaking or getting loose.

I have the same Kuat NV2.0 rack with the add on absolutely love it. However my 4Runner has not arrived to the dealer yet (getting closer, it is in the States as of Friday). We can take our road bikes and mtn bikes at the same time. Giving us more options for ride time.
