Only Thule hitch locks work on Thule carriers. Well worth the extra dollars. The Parkway does not have all the folding options of other Thule carriers, but as a ridgid carrier it does a great job for my family of 4. The Thule quality is second to none. Sweedish ingenuity, USA built, on a Sweedish car, couldn't ask for a better match.

The rack is very solid and sturdy. Assembly was a snap. I have installed it but not used it yet. I'm assuming good reliability and performance but will update after I've used it a little. The big downside with this is that you CANNOT use any old hitch pin/pin lock to secure it in your hitch. You must use the bolt that came with it (not secure) or buy the Thule locking pin for another $44. That's why I lowered the "ease of use" rating. I basically need to go by another Thule product before I can even use. Very poor Thule.
