Question:

Hello , I have been looking at ridgeback 4 and full tilt bike racks for my BMW 328 xi with class 1 curt hitch. Currently we have 2 bikes 1 mens and 1 womens. Reason for looking into 4 bike rack is basically future proffing so i can use the same rack on my SUVs. Question is 1. Would you recommend ridgeback 4 or full tilt or light rider though they dont have 4 bikes and why is one better over other 2. Is there any other brand other than Yakima that would work better? 3. Is it a must to have the stabilizing strap from hitch to trunk? 4. I see both yakimas i listed above are markes as class 2/3... does it mean the hitch has to be 2/3? I do plan to buy the cross bar to be able to mount the womens bike. Thank tou for all the informational videos...learnt so much by watching them
