This bike rack works well and is easy to use, however installing it was a bit of a challenge because the manual lacks details.
Price
Picked this for the price and lockability.
Note that despite the cons, i still rated it at 4 stars, as i do not find any of them annoying enough given the price.
You pay for what you get in this hitch rack system.
Most likely need the cross tube accessory($50).
Packaging/appearance
Looks good on the car, if that sort of thing matters to you.
