This was my first bike rack purchase so I had to do lots of research. I read many comments that mentioned bikes aren't made to hang from the cross bar as they do with the other kind of design....made sense to me. So I looked into one were it sat on it's wheels. The bike rack is heavy but I can pick it up by myself. You will have a much easier time carrying it if you step near the middle of it and straddle one side while walking. The bikes are very stable while driving, although they will bounce around if you go over a large enough bump. It will take a little getting use to positioning the bikes at first....getting the tire supports just right. But after that it's a matter of putting them in and securing them, just a few minutes. One more tip...I put a small towel under the top support arm while securing it to the cross arm of the bike. This prevented it from leaving rubber residue on the bike...no big deal though, just fyi.

If you are considering this rack, you have the same questions I had. How much of a hassle is it to hook up? Will the bikes ride securely without knocking into each other? Will the rack wobble/shake? Can you really load 4 bikes securely? Can road bikes fit as securely as MTBs? I've driven my '08 Yukon over 2,000 miles with the rack on back for the last 10 weeks. I've had 1,2,3,& 4 bikes loaded at various times. My simple answer is that it does all of the above well and therefore I highly recommend it.
Concerns: This is not a light rack (which is why is rides so securely) and though I can set it up on my vehicle myself, it is much easier with two people. The arms that come down to secure the bikes have a black pad that contacts your bike. This pad for some reason leaves a resin on the bike so I always put a rag between the arm pad and my bike to eliminate the resin marks. No big deal but the manufacturer should change this in its next product iteration. It doesn't come with a lock, so you'll want to get one so it cannot be easily removed from your vehicle.
Lastly, I rarely submit reviews, but I felt a debt of gratitude for the insight gained from reading other's reviews. Thanks everyone!

I am impressed with this rack. It is sturdy and holds my bikes very securely to my truck. It is easy to load the bikes on and take them off. The only thing I do not like about this rack is in the hitch portion. It comes with a threaded bolt which goes through my receiver to keep the track attached to my truck. The problem is, the female threads are in the bike rack portion so I cannot fit a hitch pin through there to lock the rack to my truck. Other than that it is a great rack and I would recommend it.

This rack is so much better than the hanging racks especially for different types of bikes. I can quickly load a road, a hybird, and two large kids bikes. I could never get more 3 bikes on the 4 bike hanging rack even then they jammed together and banging or getting scratched. This rack solves all those problems.

Bought this rack on Monday and it got here on Tuesday. Took about 30-45 minutes to put it all together. Once I figured out that I had to take some parts apart to put them back together on the rack base, it all went well. I love how the bikes mount and feel that the bikes are more secure than on the type of racks that the bikes hang from the top tube. I would defiantly recommend this bike rack.
