Review: Good rack. very good price. recommend purchase. - After researching a rack over a couple of weeks I decided on this rack. With a full house we ha e 6 adult bikes to transport. My wife's has a quick release and fits in the rear hatch of our 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan, so a 5 bike rack suits us fine. I've had the rack for about a month and have used it at least once every weekend before writing the review. As stated, I've loaded 5 adult bikes on the rack and braved the Houston freeways with no issues. I've also lowered the rack fully loaded to get into the hatch and had no issues raising it back and replacing the pin. I had help lifting it back to position with 5 bikes, but if there are 5 bikes on it there SHOULD be plenty of helping hands around. I did drop my wife off to shop and when I picked her up lowered and raised the rack by myself With Zero Difficulty. I haven't used the supplied No Wobble bolt as I had purchased a locking pin before using the rack. There is some sway without the No Wobble bolt, but that is no fault of the rack itself. I cannot say if the No Wobble bolt functions well because I have not used it. I do t want to go off into to woods and come back to a missing rack. I have purchased a locking Silent Hitch Pin and that should tighten up the rack to the hitch reciver and remedy the situation. It works fine with the locking pin, but for my own piece of mind I want to minimize the sway on long trips. It is Easy to put on and off. The Bikes fit nice and secure with the straps. I do use a Ratchet strap to further secure the bikes, again for my piece of mind. I am happy with this rack. It does the job it says it will do. I would recommend this rack.
Review: Good product that appears to have addressed previous concerns. - Excellent product and well built. I mounted mine on a 2005 Honda Pilot and found the tilting mechanism to be both easy to operate and clears the opening of the hatch just fine. See pictures. I have a few observations to make, having read the reviews prior to purchase: 1. The rack does NOT fit toddler bikes. Our family currently has two adult bikes, one bike for an eight year old, and two bikes for twin five year olds. When mounting the bikes on this new rack, I discovered that the smaller twins' bikes would not fit at all. The good news is that they still fit inside the car and eventually will need bigger bikes that will mount on this carrier. 2. There is NO problem with black powder or residue rubbing off on your hands from the straps. I saw this complaint in several reviews, and perhaps this was an old design issue, but with the product I just received I had no such problems. 3. The rack has a structured loop for attaching a cable lock or other security solution. In a few of the reviews, customers seemed to have wisely made the suggestion that there should be some way of "locking" the bikes to the mounting rack, and I was pleased to see that mine arrived with the ability to do this. Conversely, the rack is only secured to the hitch only with a nut and bolt and my hitch lock does not fit the pre-drilled holes in the rack. So, I either need to buy another hitch lock or drill-out a larger diameter hole. In the end, with the bikes secured with cable locks and a U-lock, chances are the nut-and-bolt solution will be enough of a deterrent. So, I will likely just rely on the nut-and-bolt that came with the product, since the bolt was machined with a "shoulder" to best secure the mounting post to the hitch. Mounting the bikes does take some trial-and-error. Finding the right configuration is a bit of a puzzle, but not too daunting with some planning. All in all, this is a good product, functions as intended, and appears to be well-built. I will update if there are any issues, once I travel with this new mounting system.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: This rack fits on a Mazda 2019 CX5?**
A: It’s not car specific.  It plugs into your hitch.  it will fit on anything with a 2” hitch

**Q: my hitch key came broken off inside the hitch. the hitch receiver goes in to the hitch and you can twist it to lock it but you cant use the key help!**
A: I am sorry but I do not understand what you are calling the hitch key. The hitch receiver is the part mounted on the car. My bike rack came with a large bolt and my regular hitch lock for the trailer hitch would not fit through the receiver and rack. Therefore you are forced to use the bolt and nut which is difficult to install and remove. If you managed to get your hitch lock through the hole of the receiver and bike rack it is possibly jammed and you may have to get it cut off. Our perhaps a smaller bolt or chisel can be used to force it through with a large hammer. If you can send a picture perhaps I can understand your predicament better. Good Luck.

**Q: does the quick secure straps work well and truly more secure?**
A: They work great and allow for positioning the bikes for maximum usage (five bikes). They are plenty secure and after the first time or two are just as fast as other means of connection.

**Q: I need info on two measurements: distance between hitch edge and upright post , and, height of upright post measured from bottom of the hitch. Thx!**
A: It’s about a 10” away from hitch edge. 35” tall from bottom of hitch

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Holy Wow!!
*by E***N on April 21, 2012*

I've never owned a rack before and have just been waiting to buy one. After reading all of the reviews for this rack and several other racks, I must say that I am so happy with the choice that I made!!! The rack was incredibly easy to put together, easy to get into the hitch, and easy to operate. I read several reviews that mentioned not being able to get the pin back in once they had lowered the rack for trunk access, I didn't have that same problem. For informational purposes, these are the couple of issues that I do have (which are not a fault of the rack, but situational): I drive a 2005 Jeep Liberty. In order to use the 5th spot for a bike, I will have to remove my spare tire. I will also have to remove the spare tire if I want to open the back door of the car. That is a mild set back, but something that I can definitely live with. An if I'm not mistaken, I believe that there is an extension that can be purchased if this becomes a problem. Also, I purchased a receiver lock to use with the rack. The rack itself comes with a "no wobble" bolt to use in the hitch, and I'll tell ya, the rack doesn't budge when the bolt is tightened. When I put the receiver lock in place, however, there was all kinds of room for the rack to wobble back and forth. In all reality, I can't imagine that any one person will just so happen to have the right size wrenches (you definitely need two in order to get the bolts on and off) while passing by that will make it possible to steal the rack. So really, no worries. All in all, I'm extremely happy with the purchase. The price was more than right, the rack itself is very sturdy, and I'm just dying to get it out on the road.
