This rack is built with obviously higher quality materials than most of the other racks out there. We have used it for two separate two day trips and it worked very well for our family and saved us a large sum of money over renting/paying for a shuttle. A couple of recommendations though. If you have a woman's bike or large girl's bike you should purchase the tube adjuster bar that connects to the seat post and handlebars so that it is a hundred times easier to hang on the rack. Also pay close attention when mounting the hitch adjuster (it comes made for 1 and 1/4 inch but for a 2 inch hitch it has an adjuster that fits around it) be certain that it is oriented correctly or the safety pin will not fit into it correctly.

Every where we looked, this was listed as the best rack for 5 bikes on a Chevy Traverse 2011. Not so. The knob on top of the connector piece makes it impossible to slide into the hitch. But sending this monstrosity back was more hassle than just removing the knob and rigging it to work.
Great rack. Just not for this particular vehicle.

My daughter and I decided to purchase this bike rack when we learned that it would cost less than renting bicycles for our two week Florida vacation in late October, early November. We were planning to carry three adult and two children's bicycles nearly 900 miles one way. I have to admit we were skeptical. We planned an hour the night before we were to leave to load all five bikes. We loaded the larger bikes first and used bike carrier bars (an added expense) on three of the bikes. It took a little longer than we had planned and we did use a ratchet strap to pull everything together. The instructions were a little difficult to understand but by going step by step we were able to put it all together. On the way down to Florida from Ohio we lost a couple of the small components that were to provide stability, but loading to come home went very quickly and we didn't really miss the pieces. There was no damage to any of the bikes either going or coming home. Let me add that the carrier arrived very quickly. I ordered it on the 15th of the month and it arrived well before our departure date of the 26th. We could not have been more pleased, both with ourselves, the supplier, and the bike rack! We took pictures. I wish there was a way to include one of them in the review.
