Great 4-bike rack at a great price. Light enough for me to easily put on and off by myself, as a 47 year old woman, but very sturdy. Easy to snug bikes up, anti-sway works well. I can even open my back hatch on my Lexus 330, without hitting it. Get a pad lock to replace the Carter key, and it is secured to your hitch. But you still need to lock your bikes onto the rack with a cable, if you leave them. Excellent product!

This was a great purchase and a terrific value for the dollar. If you're planning to buy the accompanying lock system, please double check to ensure you order the threaded version. The standard 2" lock will not work with this model.

Purchased this for our 3 bikes, with room to spare in case we had visitor / guest come with us. Easy to install and thus far very good. Didn't come with a locking bolt for attachment to the hitch, just a bolt / nut. So had to order that separately--not that someone would necessarily get their wrench out to steal, but hey, you never know. With a few tweaks (e.g. tightening the butterfly screw on the vertical bar), this rack is very quiet and feels relatively secure, a whole hell of a lot better that the usual tie on rack which, regardless of brand, always sucked to some extent. Find it a little wobbly at the top, but need to tighten with a (LARGE) allen wrench. Have to say that 4 bikes is near impossible, but 3 os OK. If you want 4 bikes, buy a 5-rack version :))

I had first purchased the same rack locally but it had the 2" adapter. After looking at the width of the bottom bar, I decided I wanted the full 2" one. So I bought this one from amazon. We went from Seattle to Yellowstone with 2 adult, 1 teen and 1 BMX bike. Everything stayed secure.

This is my first bike rack and the jostling and shaking was a bit unnerving. I tightened down the thumbscrew which adds to stability and also gave the through-bolt an extra tightening. On our trip we saw many other carriers, they all have the same type of movement over highway bumps. It takes awhile to get used to seeing your expensive bikes back there swaying around I guess. They made it, so, I'm pleased with this product.

By the way, this rack will clear a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon's spare tire in the back. Its close, but, it fits. Bonus.

This bike rack is very sturdy and easy to use. The bikes barely move back and forth when going over train tracks and bumpy roads. Great feature to get into the back of your tail gate on a jeep. I would recommend this item.

I had a bell 4 bike rack and it use to drive me nuts. the rack part wouldn't drop down...

This new rack does! It was super easy to put together. And is hindged in 2 places, allowing the rack part to drop, and the whole thing to swing forward allowing me into the back of my Traverse. Also there is this strap on it to weave thru the bikes, keeping them tight together, stopping the swinging completly... which was a problem on the Bell rack.

Now I need is a lock for the hitch as the pin is something I personnely don't care for!

Anyone with basic mechanical skills can set this up in about 15 minutes. Very secure and the bikes don't move at all while driving. I have tried other racks and this one is by far the best one I have tried yet. I have two very expensive bikes that I did not want scratched and after 3 trips, not one scratch. The anti-sway feature is terrific and stops the bikes from bumping into each other and the back of my truck.

The HOLLYWOOD TRAVELER 4 bike rack is a sturdy and durable product that performs well.

It's heavy, solid construction with straps that hold 4 bikes securely. The rack wobbled the first couple of times I used it. I contacted customer service at Hollywood racks and they replied immediately with a simple solution that remedied the problem.

Had a good time biking at Santa Monica Beach with the family this weekend thanks to our Hollywood 4 bike hitch.

Love the straps. My only complaint is I will have to drill a hole so I can use my lockable pin on the hitch.

Well built bike rack that handles not only my K2 bike with ease but my three children's bikes also. It is not lightweight though (which is for me a good thing). I have to order a new one because it got all bent up after being rear-ended. The rack took the brunt of the accident I had last weekend and actually saved my Santa Fe from further damage. I cant wait to get my vehicle back....and my new replacement rack!

I did get another replacement rack and it is still good but the design changed from a one piece square tube riser to a two piece round tube riser that you have to assemble. I prefer the older style but the new rack seems to work just fine. It has the same demensions and is just as fuctional.

I have modified the rack with a strap that attaches to the roof rack of my vehicle to the convenient hook on the back of the bike rack via a carabiner. 4 bikes on a rough road with all that bouncing made me think about some extra support for my bikes. I may add a 4" riser / adapter to get the base of the rack off the ground a bit more since I have bottomed out several times on driveways and off roads.
