Just got back from a 1600 mile road trip with 5 bikes in the rack hanging out the hitch of my wife's XC90. My bike is the only one of the five that fit perfect, two of the bikes were my wife's and my daughter's and two were my sons' all of which did not have a cross bar to sit over the rack's two bars in a "pretty" manner. With some patience and wiggling all five bikes fit and were strapped snug over the rack. It held really well even through the hills and mountains of northern Georgia. The bikes come off easily and we were able to unload. The only problem is that if the rack is fully loaded with five bikes you better have a good reason to get into the back of your SUV because it takes three people to gently let the rack down and to put it back up.

I purchased this carrier after extensive reading of the online reviews for all the different brands. I have a family of 5 and we needed a way to transport our bikes to the Apple Cider Century Bike Ride in Three Oaks, Michigan this past month. I found it easy to install and use. All 5 bikes fit on the rack on the back of my full-sized van and did not bounce or sway. I did decide to pad each bikes frame with a rag where it would touch another bike so that there would be no loss of paint. This did take a little bit more time , but I found the bikes in great condition after the 5 hour drive. I also would warn anyone to check ground clearance between the bottom of the lowest bike tire and the road. This could pose an issue if you back up or go across steep ditches with a low riding vehicle. I did use the enclosed strap to cinch the bottom of the bikes to eliminate swaying. It worked great. I noticed several Thules in the parking lot where 5000 riders began the race, as well as many other brands. The Thule seemed easiest to use among all that i saw. It reaffirmed my choice was a good one. Since Thule is also a reputable name, I can be assured of replacement parts should the need arise. My only difficulty was with my daughters bike. I had to buy a $32 adapter to extend from the seat post to the handle bars, for it to fit on the rack, since the bike rests on the frame cross bar found on all men's bikes. The ability to flip a lever and get into the back of my van without removing the bikes was great. So after 10+ hours of driving everything from Interstates to county roads to grave roads and private drives I can say that I have given it a tough test and it has passed. Great product

Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased this rack in anticipation of a long Father & Sons weekend with my four teenage sons. We loaded 5 adult mountain bikes on this rack mounted on the hitch of a Denali XL. There was almost no assembly required and all the hardware was included as well as a wrench. Very easily mounted to the hitch with a screw-on approach, presumably to prevent rattling noises in the hitch receiver. Works like a charm. We drove over 200 miles each way with no worries whatsoever. Loading the 5 bikes was a bit of a challenge but it had more to do with the odd shaped frames of modern bikes. This being said, once we figured out the best order for loading the bikes on the rack, it was a breeze and the rubber straps work very well at securing the bikes on the rack. I used the provided strap to secure the bundle of bikes to the rack and it was great. No rattling, no motion that I could detect. This is definitely a very good unit and the mounts on the rack are very easy to slide / turn if necessary. Highly recommend it.

Great for 4 bikes
Nice rack, but 5 bikes is wishful thinking. If they are skinny road bikes, maybe. Our 4 mountain bikes just barely fit, but it'll work.
