Strengths:    Powder coating.

Weaknesses:    Extremely heavy. Very bulky. It takes 2 people to get it on my ML350. Can't remove one bike if the other has been installed. Primitive engineering.

Bottom Line:   
DO NOT BUY. NEVER. Look for other options. Noone is perfect but this 990XT Doubltrack is a waste of money.

Strengths:    Accommodates all wheel sizes, including 29er; easy initial set-up; folds up very easily. Now includes locks.

Weaknesses:    Installing the lock barrels is a pain. The instructions make it look like all you need is a regular flat head screw driver. I needed a precision flathead screwdriver (i.e. the type you use on tiny screws) and it still took me about 30 minutes to pop-out the push tabs so that I could install the lock barrels. The instructions also don't indicate that you'll need a precision screw driver to slide the lock barrels into place. There is also quite a bit of sway, if that is something that makes you paranoid.

Bottom Line:   
Set up is easy except for lock installation. Accommodates all wheel sizes. Securely holds bikes. Folds up easily when not in use. There is quite a bit of sway, especially when loaded with two bikes.

Strengths:    Stand-up bike loading. Fold-up design. Sturdy construction.

Weaknesses:    Only 70 lbs total weight limit.

Bottom Line:   
I like it so far. No problems. I was looking for a reasonably priced stand-up rack for my car and didn't want a roof rack. Also I wanted a rack that would fold up on the hitch so I could get it and my car in the garage without having to take it off. This rack works perfectly with little bounce. I was worried about the 70 lb weight limit but prolly won't every load two 35+ lb bikes anyway.

Strengths:    Easy to assemble, very sturdy construction, very nice fold-up allows rack to stay on the car when not in use and fit car in garage. Bike stands-up in rack so don't have to take the front wheel off or try to hang it.

Weaknesses:    Max 70 lbs weight limit. Doubt I'll every load two +35 lb bikes but you never know. A bit of a juggle to load 1st bike, have to lean it way forward to get center bar up and locked in place.

Bottom Line:   
So far, so good. No problems. I was looking for a rack I could leave on my car, but didn't want to get a roof rack due to gas mileage savings. I like that it folds up so it stays in my car and can fit in the garage easily. Very sturdy with very little bounce. Available locks make it extra secure on long trips.
