Awesome Bike Rack!, November 11, 2008
This review is from: Hollywood Racks HR8000 Traveler 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver) (Sports)
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!

Great Bike Rack, September 3, 2009
This review is from: Hollywood Racks HR8000 Traveler 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver) (Sports)
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.

My first bike rack, and no complaints, August 10, 2010
This review is from: Hollywood Racks HR8000 Traveler 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver) (Sports)
This is my first bike rack, and I wanted something that: (a) accommodates 2 or more bikes with plenty of room; (b) hitch-mounts; (c) folds down so that I can open the gate of my SUV; (d) folds so that it doesn't stick out far behind the car; and (e) is reasonably priced.
This rack met all those qualifications, plus I can open the top glass portion of the rear gate of my SUV (a Chevy Trailblazer) without having to move anything. Installation took about 30 minutes and was mostly straightforward.

Just what I was looking for!, August 4, 2010
This review is from: Hollywood Racks HR8000 Traveler 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver) (Sports)
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!

Bike rack, July 29, 2010
This review is from: Hollywood Racks HR8000 Traveler 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver) (Sports)
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 :))

Secure highway carrier, June 29, 2010
This review is from: Hollywood Racks HR8000 Traveler 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver) (Sports)
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.

Good Rack, June 3, 2009
This review is from: Hollywood Racks HR8000 Traveler 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver) (Sports)
A good all around rack. Built well and very functional. Only problem is customer service at Hollywood. Called with a few questions and the person was impatient and a bit condescending. Too bad- kind of bittered me towards future Hollywood products.
