"Unbeatable for the money. Really nice welds and quality control. Finish is a textured finish much heavier duty than paint. Looks like it will hold up well.
Initial set up for the bikes was a little confusing but that was only for the first use. Once you get it figured out you'll love everything about it.
Unbelievably stable, pretty light. Handles bikes all the waw from my road and mountain bikes down to my daughters 20 Hot Rock. I would buy it again in a minute.
It takes a 19 mm socket to tighten the bolt at the hitch on the car. I went to my local hardware store and bought a cheap ratchet and socket just for this purpose. I also drilled out the hole on the end of the same bolt to allow use of a small padlock to prevent theft.
I have it mounted on my 2007 Camry and find it comes off the car so easily and folds so compactly that I can remove it and put it in my trunk in about 30 seconds. I don't bother padlocking it.
Buy it you will not be dissapointed."

"As most have commented, this rack is great! Easy to assemble, easy to install. Putting the bike on and off takes about 10 seconds.
I have it on my Toyota Tacoma, and both the tailgate and the Snugtop shell door open without lowering the rack's upright support (although not with a bike on the inside rack).
It does need a lock. Fortunately, I found one on another site (described as a SportRack - A30901Lhp - Hitch Pin Bolt w/ Lock) which fits perfectly.
Highly recommended . . ."

"I totaled my Prizm with the bikes and the Xport attached. The rack was twisted and busted to smithereens and the bikes weren't in much better shape but what was left of the bikes was still attached to what was left of the Xport which was still attached to what was left of the car. I now have a Xport on my Vibe which works great because, with the bikes and Xport attached, I can access the rear through the hatch (rear glass) without having to raise the tailgate. By removing one pin, I can tilt the bikes back and raise the tailgate. If you are going to haul your bikes outside of your vehicle, there's no better way to go then the Xport."
