VERY Heavy, sways alot but gd.
Jeff M from NJ
shipped quickly from etrailer. Thanks.
Product is very heavy. Assembly required.
Since I was not around my wife took the hitch receiver and this rack to the local garage to install. They (the professionals) said it was harder for them to assemble the rack than it was to install the hitch receiver !.
Overall, it works - I can fit 5 bikes on. Trial and error will determine the order of the bikes. It comes with 2 locks - one that locks the last bike on. Which means you cant remove ANY of the bikes. The other lock is at the bottom. That one is useless because you could always slip the WHOLE thing out from the hitch receiver.
The main problem is that it sways a lot. The strap does nothing to prevent it.

Sturdy and easy to use

Easily handles 3 kids and 2 adult bikes on my Ford Expedition. It's the best way I have found to safely haul 5 bikes. Easy to install. Sway never a concern. Infinately adjustable, just make sure frames are max 2".

The product was very easy to put together and it accomodates all the bikes in my house. It is a little heavy, especially for my wife but it will work perfect. For the money this is a very good product. E-trailer always have excellent products.

It is the best I have ever use
Darryl from Columbus, OH
It moves a little and can scare you on big bumps but we drove with it for over 12 hours and it did fine. I can load the bikes so much easier than any other bike hitch I have had.
