Strengths: Lightweight!!! and easy to use. Folds down out of the way to get to the truck.Weaknesses: The pin inserted to keep the rack from backing out of the hitch is only held in place by a slot insert. I've had 1 incidence where I drove without the key in place. I though I put it in but could be wrong. It remained secure with the twist fit dial.Bottom Line: This is a great bike rack. I use it 2-3 times a week. It is easy to install with the twist lock. The lightweight rack makes it easy to install, but you will pay a premium for it. It is worth it for the amount I use it. I'm still a little uncomfortable with the slot securing the rack to the hitch. A bolt through design would be preferred.

Strengths: Lightweight aluminum construction, comes with a nice, long strap to thread through the wheels, built-in hitch lock and integrated cable lock. The rack works on both 1 1/4" and 2" hitch receivers.Weaknesses: More expensive than other hitch racks, but well worth the extra cost.Bottom Line: I liked this bike rack so much that I bought a trailer hitch for my car just so I can use it.
This rack is much lighter than others I have tried, and is very solid in construction. It comes with a cable lock integrated in the rack (to deter someone snatching the bike off of the rack). I like the no-sway mounts.
Very nice bicycle rack. I recommend it to anyone. Hitch racks are the way to go (no risk of scratching the paint on your car).

Strengths: Lightweight, Nice design, clean Look, quality hardwareWeaknesses: Saddles on the horizontal bar can be very hard to move if the rack is fully loaded.Bottom Line: Why lug extra weight? Properly designed Aluminum is the way to go. My rack stays on my truck, so just the fuel savings during the life of the rack will more then offset any increased price
