Strengths: Easy to assemble. One key for hitch and bike lock. Easy to fold down and swing out rack. Quick to mount just about any frame style/size of bike.Weaknesses: Difficult to get 4 bikes mounted without some work (not as fast/easy as tray mounts). Recommend weight should not exceed 30 lbs/bike if carrying 4 bikes.Bottom Line: I really needed a rack to mount 4 bikes, but I wanted a swing out to easily get the gate open on my Yukon Denali, when biking/camping. I considered a tray style rack, but these stick out about 4 feet and when mounted low, it would bottom out on my driveway and probably many roads so the frame mount was my best option.
It's easy to attach and holds the bikes very securely, even various size frames/top tube designs.

Similar Products Used: Thule makes a similar product that looks like it would work about the same as the Yakima for a similar price.

Strengths: This is a great 4 bike rack that allows you to "easily" swing your loaded bikes out of the way of any liftgate/tailgate of an SUV or similar vehicle. Great for trips where the back is loaded and you need inside access and don't want to unload bikes each time. There is a locking Pin feature for your towing connection, a locking cable to wrap around your bikes while on the rack, a swingaway pin which keeps the rack in place when it is off to the side of the vehicle and many other features. All the other Yakima strengths are here as well... this is an awesome rack!
Weaknesses: I have not found any weaknesses. It is a bit pricey but is worth every penny.Bottom Line: I was able to get a pretty good price (almost $100 off list) and it is a serious quality piece of equipment. I can easily see never having to buy another hitch mount rack. The bikes are locked on solid and the ease of use for all the features is amazing. I am very happy with this purchase! I recommend Cracksandracks.com as they had great customer service and VERY quick delivery.
