Allen Deluxe 3-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (1.25 or 2-Inch Receiver)

I bought this rack from amazon for a 3,500 mile cross country trip, and it held up great. I was carrying two heavy beach cruisers and a bike trailer, and the rack was solid for most of the trip. At one point I noticed a little side to side wobble, but it was only because the bolt thru the rack had loosened. After tightening it, it was solid again. I was most impressed with how the rack held up in the tilted position, as we were sleeping in the back of the truck and left it in the down position, fully loaded, for approx ten hours a day. The only thing I didn't like was that, on my truck, the rack blocked the access to crank down the spare tire, and I had to take the bikes and the rack off the truck after a blow out. I would imagine this would be the case with any brand of rack, however.

All in all, I was very pleased with the product and the price. Some people have mentioned that the rack wobbled, but I have a feeling that it was an issue with installation, or perhaps the fit is different with the 1 1/4" hitch. It fit great with my 2" hitch.

We are very satisfied with this product. It worked very well for a cross country trip. It's durable and easy enough to attach and detach. The price was fair as well.

I recently moved from Chicago to San Diego - a long 2300 mile drive - and I wanted to bring my 3 bikes back with me. One, a mountain bike, and the other two beach cruisers. There was a lot of weight on the rack, but it held strong the entire way. I was admittedly nervous about the rack before I started, but it held strong and true, even when dealing with elements (wind, rain, and even dust storms).

I was very happy with the performance of the rack as well as the locking hitch pin that I bought separately. Both get two big thumbs up!

The packaged arrived with out any problems. The instruction to set it up were easy enough. I just had to go buy a wrench and socket big enough to secure the hitch in the tow slot. I timed myself it only takes about 5-10 minutes to attach hitch to car and load two bikes on this rack. There is minimal swaying on the road. Works great for occasional needs to go to the park and ride the bikes. The pins are easy to use. The item it self is sturdy as well. Would reccommend to buy. Great cost compared to other bike hitches I have seen.

This product is made from a high quality material, versatile on holding the bikes, good looking and the price is even better but in my opinion needs to be improved to became a five star one; it doesn't fit properly in the std receiver and keeps moving too much on the road.
I would sugest the designers put some device that helps to fit better in between the std receivers and the mount rack to avoid excesive movement.
