Identify Reese Q-Slot Bike Racks by Bike Count & Hardware
Reese's Q-Slot platform bike carriers may share a black finish and similar padded hooks, but the two- and four-bike assemblies have different capacities and hitch configurations. This guide helps distinguish 63134 from 63138 using the wheel trays, shank and original hardware before fitting a rack to a vehicle.
Which rack is it?
63134 · Two-bike platform
Two-bike Q-Slot carrier with a combined 90-lb bicycle limit. The manufacturer lists use with 1¼-inch receiver hitches or 2-inch receivers using the included bolt-on adapter.
63138 · Four-bike platform
Four-bike Q-Slot carrier with a combined 140-lb bicycle limit. Reese's catalog specifies a 2-inch receiver for the four-bike configuration. Check the exact shank and all assembly parts.
Identify the original part number
| Reese MPN | Bike positions | Total bike load | Hitch receiver | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 63134 | 2 | 90 lb | 1¼ in and 2 in with adapter | Wheel cradles, padded frame hooks and wheel straps |
| 63138 | 4 | 140 lb | 2 in (catalog configuration) | Wheel cradles, padded frame hooks and wheel straps |
Rated bicycle weight is the combined total across all positions, not a per-bike allowance. The carrier itself also adds weight to the hitch. Confirm the bicycle dimensions and the complete receiver assembly before travel.
Check the rack and all its small parts
- Count the wheel-cradle pairs and compare the full layout with the manufacturer's part number. A partial four-bike rack can resemble a two-bike assembly.
- Verify the shank, receiver adapter where applicable, hitch pin, washers and clips. A missing adapter or anti-rattle component can prevent correct installation.
- Inspect padded frame hooks, sliding mechanisms, wheel cradles and hook-and-loop wheel straps for damage or missing pieces. Reese lists 63135 as a separate replacement strap kit, not included here.
- Check for cracks, corrosion, bent support tubes or unauthorized modifications. Do not use damaged equipment.
- Consult the exact instructions for mounting and ground clearance. Check the listing for actual condition and completeness; UsedRVParts viewing and pickup in Kelowna are by appointment.
Vehicle fit: A receiver size and rack load rating do not establish compatibility with every vehicle or RV. Follow the precise Reese instructions, confirm all hitch and vehicle limitations and avoid rough-road applications beyond the manufacturer's guidance.
