 Super bike rack September 4, 2007

I just completed a 500 mile trip to Maine with three bikes on this rack. It was attached to my CR-V. We encountered all types of road surfaces from high speed highway to dirt roads and the rack preformed very well. The bikes (two mountian and one kids) were held firm and without any sway or wobble. To mount and dismount the rack was a piece of cake. The only thing I had to do was purchase a conversion tube for my daughter's bike as it is of the modern kids style that has a large frame tube.
Great rack, easy to install. July 3, 2008

I recently bought this rack to fit on our 2004 Toyota RAV-4. It installs pretty easily - you have to take the spare tire off to mount it, and the first install can take up to 45 minutes when fiddling with the spare. But I especially like that I can keep the mounting hardware connected and still replace the tire cover. That way each time we travel we only need to slip off the tire cover and attach the main rack (what you see in the photo).
The bikes secure like a sandwich - the top piece which secures the bike frames to the rack comes with two securing bolts, one of which is lockable (key included). Which is nice if you want to stop for something to eat (or some other errand) on the way back from your ride.
The bikes felt very secure during our drive on the highway.
very nice August 10, 2008

put this on my 2000 toyota rav4. work greats. it is very solid. great design. the rack is two pieces: one that stays on the rav4 all the time and the other that screws on very quickly to the permanent part so when you are not carrying bikes you can quickly remove the rack portion and put the tire cover back on...very clever. this is an industrial strength rack. it is worth the money.

I bought this for my 2005 Toyota RAV4. Like the other reviewers stated, this is easy to install. It is solid, and I love the fact that there is a key to lock the top bar down. When the weather turns bad it will be easy to remove post and put the tire cover back on. Two thumbs up!
Great on Mom's RAV4 June 24, 2009

Mom wanted an east bike rack on her RAV4 to carry her bike and the grandkids (5 and 6 years old).
Mom is very short, at 5'3" so this unti was perfect. Easy to bolt on her 2001 RAV4, easy to use, and comes off easily for the winter. Definitely well worth the money.
The only problem I could see is with nicer frames you might have an issue with bikes swinging fore and aft. WIth the kids bikes, it is no big deal, but a good bungee cable is likely needed to avoid friction at the mounting point.
