Pros: Securely holds two bikes. Bikes can be locked and rack folds.

Cons: Expensive and heavy to fold down with bikes on it. Only comes with two lock cylinder and should come with four.

Recommendation: Overall I love this rack. It is mounted on a Toyota Tundra. It is impossible to see the rack unless there is a bike on it so it makes it pretty difficult to back up. Bikes are very secure and the rack is solid as a rock when mounted. Comes with a lock for the hitch so it can stay mounted. I would recommend this rack.

Pros: Nothing touched the frame of your bike. Comes with locks for the rack itself and on each wheel arm. Easy to load/unload. Rack folds up nicely behind your vehicle when not in use - has a tilt back function as well to access back gate of vehicle (seems unnecessary as you could just drop the rack like you were going to put a bike on it, but I guess a nice feature). Can be expanded to a four bike rack with add-on.

Cons: Expensive. Unlike hanging bike racks, you can't see the rack at all so no reference point when backing up (I have to parallel park constantly)

Recommendation: Very secure rack, no movement when driving, holds bikes securely without touching the frame - which is awesome on the paint job! Easy to use, folds up nice. No worries, load and go.

Pros: One key locks the two arms and the hitch bolt.

Cons: Expensive

Recommendation: I just started using this rack and love it. Its very easy and very secure. I feel very confident driving with my expensive bike on it. I don't know how much I trust the tire arm locks though. Good to have for added security, but I also use a lock cable if I know it will be sitting somewhere.
