Assembly and install took 15 minutes. I used it around town without any problems but for a 1000 mile trip with 2 road bikes the "r" support on 1 bike moved closer to the other bike allowing the frames to rub together; this was after I spread mounting supports as far apart as possible to obtain clearance (I wish there was another 2 inches of clearance). Although there was play in rack when vehicle was parked, bikes stayed "firm" during trips. Rack lock unnecessary.

This bike rack is exactly what I was hoping to have in a bike rack. Very easy to put bike on and take bike off, does not touch the jeep at all, does not swing or move around, and not bad to look at on a jeep.

Well-designed, easy to install and use. Especially like the tilt-down feature that allows access to the tailgate. Rugged! My only complaint is that the rubber fastening system is somewhat of a compromise. I just use a bungie cord to lash everything down. Then, run a cable lock for a measure of theft protection.

Not inpressed with the receiver bolt/lock. Just love having to have a wrench and getting down on my knees to remove the receiver bolt. The receiver shaft fits loosly.

Fast shipping, instructions were easy. I'm an out-of-shape female but was able to install this rack by myself onto my '09 Subaru Forester. The rack sticks out an inch further than I anticipated but it hasn't affected my ability to park. Visibility is good through the rear-view mirror (rack doesn't obstruct your view). Holds my bike nice and sturdy. Only improvement would be a lockable hitch connection. Anyone with a wrench can simply take the rack right off within a minute or two.

Hinge Bolt could be more robust.

The bike rack was just what I was looking for! The unit is easily installed and holds my bikes securely. Very satisfied!

It came with the wrong instructions and had to call and download the correct ones then print.

Easy to install. Just got back from a 2000+ mile trip with 2 bikes and no problems. Rack held both bikes down tight and secure. I purchased the optional lock system as well and it worked just fine.
