Very good - do not waste time shopping Jul 15, 2009 Only comment: they should add holes in the hitch-mount piece so that it could be adjusted as close as possible to the vehicle (given the space available) .
bike rack Feb 12, 2009 Haven't found a better buy. Best bike rack around. Works for the car, van, trailer, or camper. Amazon was very helpful, and we got free shipping. Great buy.
Just the ticket! Dec 22, 2008 This bike rack is just the ticket for me. When mounted on my truck I am still able to raise and lower my tailgate without removing. Just what I was looking for at a great price.

Sturdy bike carrier, but not quite as stable as one might like Nov 28, 2008 We bought this 4 bike carrier to use on our Jeep Wrangler (which, of course, has a rear-mounted spare tire).
Overall the rack is very good. The J-shaped mounting bar has ample automobile clearance - even from large off road spare tires. In my opinion, though, the large horizontal and vertical distance from the rear of the vehicle to the bikes on the rack creates a bit more on-road sway than is necessary.
As a work-around, I secure a nylon strap (left over from an old weed trimmer) between the spare tire and the rack to eliminate in-motion sway.
Again, a very good value for the price - just one small issue that is relatively easy to remedy.
Rubber is cheap and breaks down Jul 07, 2008 The contstruction and ease of use is very good with a pickup truck. Loved it for the first few years. However, the rubber material that the tube frame of the bike actually rests on does not hold up. I've had mine for a few years but really haven't used it that much and the rubber loops where the straps go through are all coming off. This will eventually lead to the inability to secure the bikes.
