Allen Allen Sports Deluxe 3-Bike Hitch Mount Rack Storage Rack Review

Model/Year: 2014

Pros: Cheap, quick to install. This hitch survive carrying my bikes across country (Alaska to North Carolina), but there wasn't a day when I thought one of the joints was going to bust and my bikes would drag behind at 80mph.

Cons: Wobbly, even if you tighten it at the hitch point, the rest of the joints just sit on a pin about 3/8in sized. Quick to rust, if I knew this before, I would take it off my truck, wipe it all down and put it in storage until my next use - but who does that? It hangs out on my hitch even when not in use.

Recommendation: Recommended if you need something cheap, quick and to get you by for a few years. But would definitely upgrade to something more durable in the long run.

Model/Year: 2011

Pros: Ease of Use
Folding
Multiple Hitch Sizes

Cons: Straps

Recommendation: This is a fantastic hitch rack for the money. It doesn't have slop in the hitch and holds three bikes very secure. The reason for 4 stars is that the straps are nylon, though I've never had problems with them I could see weather and sun causing premature wear.
