I'm shopping for a rear hitch mounted bike carrier for my F25 X3....anyone using the "1Up" carrier? I spotted this setup mounted on the rear of an Audi Q5 the other day- looks like very clean/functional design.

1upUSA is the best by far. Have had mine for 6 years now.

Trailer Mode should activate automatically when you plug in the trailer board. It does on my vehicle.

Ford prices now appear to be on a par with Thule.

Trailer mode appears to be an ID7 feature that is not available on ID6

I run a double tray 1-up. See my post on the prev page for a pic.

I have a 2019 with factory hitch (& id6). It activates automatically when I connect the trailer lights. Also activation available thru idrive.
Lastly, I think it can be coded into cars that didn't come with a hitch.

Just received and installed my 1up Equip-D. Also purchased the single add-on to carry 2 bikes when needed and the light/license plate accessory.

Haven't taken it for a trip yet but I can see why so many people recommended it.

For reference, I was looking at the 1up or the new Kuat Piston Pro X.
