Good solid construction
John from Nottingham, MD.
This hitch is solid, stable, and mounts three bikes easily. Use extra tie down straps to secure the bikes. Locking products help secure the bikes to the hitch..purchased for your purchase. Fits the 2008 Rav4 with clearance required from the spare mounted tire. To protect the factory cover, I removed and installed a black cover instead. The rack still would work with the factory cover installed....your choice.

Heavy-duty with great features
Jim M. from Frederick, MD
Heavy and solid, as anything for a hitch should be. The adapter for 1.25" and 2" receivers is particularly convenient as I have vehicles with each. No rattles when used with SportRack Hitch and cable lock purchased separately. Holds bicycles securely with no sway and plenty of pedal clearance (2009 RAV4 Sport with rear wheel delete). Highly recommended!
