Allen Deluxe 3-Bike Hitch Mount Rack
This rack is easy to use, easy to put together and no vibration when the anti-vibration bolt is used. Definitely a good buy.

The best hitch for the money
This hitch is great. I ordered the 2" receiver. It's very heavy-duty which is what I was concerned about most. It holds 3 bikes although it holds 2 easier. If I did it again I might order the 4 bike one to accomadate my 3 bikes. But its great on my SUV(expedition). It swings down to allow me to open the glass and the whole back door if need be. The straps tie down easy and come off easy also. It doesnt bounce at all as it has a special bolt that holds it in the receiver. It also folds down when not in use so that you can just leave it on you truck.

Great Bike Rack; Solid Construction
I am very happy with this rack. It is extremely solid and strong. I strongly recommend it. The picture has an "L" bend at the bottom but the one I received has a curved bend. Looking at Allen's Website I think the curved bottom is the newest model. The rack fits 3 adult mountain bikes with no problems described by others.

Great Rack Espceially for the Money
I am very happy with this rack and I am glad that I went with the hitch type rack. My car is a Honda Accord which has a UHAUL installed receiver hitch which you can barely notice.The rack was very easy to assemble and even easier to use. I have had those trunk mounted racks before which allow for way to much contact between the bike and my cars paint. This rack takes about 5 minutes to hook up to my car. The bike goes onto the rack in about 3 minutes. I would recommend getting a trailer hitch pin that locks instead of the one that just comes with a cotter pin. I hoped this review helped.

Beware!
I purchased this bike rack in January to carry bikes on the back of my travel trailer. I had been used 4 times successfully but the 5th time was not a charm. One of the bolts that the arms pivot up and down on broke as I was driving on the highway. I heard tire chirping and got out to see what the noise was, when I came around the back I saw my bicycle, which was on the outside, hanging down to the road and the back tire had been jumping up and down on the road as I was driving. The other two bikes were ok. One bolt had sheared in half and the other held.
If you have this rack or are thinking about buying it, you might think about removing these bolts and replacing them with hardened bolts (which these are not).
A bolt remover was unsuccessful. Retapping the threads doesn't look like an option. The option looks like buying a new rack.
Thanks for reading, I hop this helps someone.
